Valentine's Day Mail Boxes

I haven't blogged (or scrapped!) in quite some time, so today it was sure fun to pull out these Target Dollar Spot mailboxes and dive into my stash. I made one for Kat and then one for her roommate and other girls on her end of the hall. I think they turned out really cute. I followed the directions in the tutorial on http://www.kerryspapercrafts.com/?p=395. I did make a couple of changes. My mailboxes were red and white and didn't look all that great with the edge of the lids showing, so I cut a 1/4 strip of paper matching the end paper and glued that on the edge, then sanded it and inked the edges. I also noticed that both ends of mine came off which made covering the back end much easier. I used Jolee's cupcakes on the flags for all of them. All the paper and supplies came from my stash, so this was a really inexpensive gift for Kat to give her friends. Now I need to make Arch's and fill all of them.
