as well as Paper Playtime!

Pause Dream Enjoy (PDE) Ch#3 MAINLY RED
Paper Playtime (PPT) Ch#3 Use a Border Punch

Begins: Monday, Feb 4

Ends: Sunday, Feb 17

Winner announced in the WINNERS Page Tab at Pause Dream Enjoy and Paper Playtime.

Here is my project incorporating BOTH challenge themes:

I decided to make a fun little mailbox for my hubby filled with some Valentine candy.

I love getting these little metal mailboxes every year.

I find them at Target in the dollar spot. Since they are only $1 (at least they were last year), I try to stock up on them whenever I see them. 

For the Pause Dream Enjoy Challenge--Mainly Red, I used as much red as I could. I found this patterned paper in my stash and loved the polka dots and thought it would be fun on my little mailbox. 

The "Kiss Me" was cut out of the Sweethearts Cricut Cartridge. I cut both the shadow and phrase at 2".It was a perfect fit for the front. 

For the Paper Playtime Challenge--Use a Border Punch, I used my Lace Heart Border punch and made a border for the middle of my mail box. 

Here is a picture of the front open so you can see all the candy:

As you can see, it holds quite a bit.

That will make my hubby very happy! lol!
