Be Mine...American Crafts Blog Hop

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Welcome to my little piece of the scrappy world! I'm excited about today for soo many reasons...celebrating the love for my one & only and of course enjoying Valentine festivities with my girls but also because we get to have a BLOG HOP with all the talented ladies on the American Crafts design team!

There's lots of inspiration to be discovered and prizes to be won so I hope you are having fun so far!  For my project, I decided to pull out this cute little mailbox I found at Target. I layered strips of pattern paper over each other and then embellished it with journaling cards, chipboard stickers, die cuts, stickers and more.



I wrote notes to each family member on the journaling cards, so that they know how much I love, adore and respect them. Of course, I try to demonstrate it every day but sometimes it's nice to write it down! I stuffed the notes and candy in the mailbox so they have something fun to open today!



I hope you've enjoyed this fun little project and that I've inspired you in some way!

GIVEAWAY!!!

I'll be giving away a RAK of some American Crafts XOXO collection goodies. I like to reward all my followers with a chance to win so just "Join" my blog to become my newest follower and leave me a comment and you'll be automatically entered! You have until 2/18 at Midnight CST to enter to win.

It'll be a little bit of this and a little bit of that along with bits & pieces from other elements of the XOXO collection ...
