Happy Independece Day!
I decorated this Maya Road mailbox with some very pretty Webster’s Pages Sweet Cherry Pie paper. I loved the Vintage Americana feel these papers had!
It opens and can hold little surprises. This one will be going to my husband’s grandmother filled with photos.
I decoupaged some of the vintage label elements of the paper on in various spots to add to the charm.
I also used Jenni Bowlin Milk Cap Buttons, Stampin’ Up Postcard Stamps, Making Memories eyelet ribbon and vintage buttons.
Have a Happy Independence Day and God Bless Our Troops, wherever they are serving today!
Wonderful project!

Wonderful project. This would be a great idea for a Valentines Day box for a child to take to school, as well!

Have recently been pointed to your blog by a friend and love your work. In fact I have lifted one of your LOs from the March archives. The one you did with the ruffle technique. Love that ruffle and love doing it.
