JAZZING UP MY NEW MAILBOX WITH DECOR ELEMENTS...

This post is all about my new mailbox.  Funny subject for a post on a stamping blog, right?  But when I saw this mailbox I knew I had to have it.  We live on a very busy road and you are taking your life in your hands when you step into the street to check the mail.  So I really wanted to get a mailbox with an access in the rear to get your mail, yet it had to be pretty, too.  Hubby just looked at me like I was crazy and said "you want to spend WHAT on a mailbox?"   My birthday was a couple of weeks ago though and I choose the mailbox over jewelry or anything else!  That way he couldn't complain!

Of course, I had to dress up the mailbox a little more.  It needed the house number, of course.  So I added those with die cuts from the Simple Numbers Dies using our Vinyl Sheets.  And it needed another decorative element - like that finishing touch of jewelry.  There's always room for embellishment in life, right?  I would have loved to use the Fleur-De-Lis Decorative Accent, but even the smallest one was too big.  So I added these lovely Ornate Flowers Decor Elements pieces.  Aren't they just perfect?  Hope you enjoy my little project. 

How will you use Decor Elements to decorate YOUR life?   Send me your pics!

  1. Gorgeous Marie. You can only wear jewelry one day at a time one piece at a time. This is something you can enjoy every hour of every day. The neighbors too! Cool!
