The Elisabeth Bell monthly challenge is to alter an item. I chose to alter an old mailbox I had lying around from target a few Valentine's ago. I used Martha Stewart Valentine papers to cover the mailbox. I then used red grosgrain ribbon to cover the seams. The image is from Whiff of Joy. I covered the mail flag with lots of ribbon scraps I had lying around. Finally I added some flowers, pearls and a love charm. It was quite easy to make, not as easy to photograph!!! The pink end pops off, so I can fill the box with chocolates or other Valentine candy! I hope you can play along:)
