Valentine Hop Featuring the Thankful Thursday Design Team

Hi Everybody!
Welcome to the Valentine Hop Featuring the Thankful Thursday Design Team!  I am so excited (and proud!) to be doing this hop with such an amazing team, and such talented crafters.  I know today you will be getting some fantastic inspiration for Valentine's Day, so let's get started!  There will also be a way for you to get extra entries for the prizes, so make sure you read to the end of this post :)

For our project, we made little mail boxes for my kids to take to school and keep their Valentine's in.  Here's how they turned out:

*These were simple to make.  We just used the small priority mail boxes from the post office!!  Free is the best price :O)

*We used some rub ons and patterned paper for decoration.

*She put some themed gelly stickers on the other side.

*We made sure to cut the holes in before we started designing so we knew which way to face things!

*My oldest used this owl image from the Jaded Blossom set I Hoot You.

*Hand-drawn art always makes projects a little more special :O)

*I had to take a picture of this before I cut the hole.  Apparently my 9 year old wanted to make sure I knew where to cut, lol!

I hope you'll try some of these with your family!  If you do, please link them up for the challenge, and share them on my Facebook wall HERE.  And now.................
