Scrappinlils Creative Side: Altered mailboxes for the boys!

Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to look at my creations...I love making memories that I can share with my family and friends....and especially my daughters. They are my inspirations for creating a lot of these layouts. I love taking everyday ordinary things and making them into beautiful altered art. My downfall is buying beautiful papers and not wanting to use them because they are too gorgeous. LOL. Please take the time to check out my crafts, follow my blog and maybe even scraplift them and make sure you let others know where you got the idea...Love to have new followers of my blog.

Altered mailboxes for the boys!

I'm back...here are the altered mailboxes for the boys.....I used red mailboxes for them...I left the ends plain. I got these mailboxes from target for $1.00..cool huh??

I found this monkey paper at michaels for .59cents, used some ribbon from my stash, cut 2 strips of green paper into 1/2" strips (so you should end up with 4 of these)...well if you are making 2 mailboxes for boys. If you scroll down to my other post for today you will see all the items you need.

I used a stamp too that says love your smile....did not want to make it to girly...but I did add some ribbon for extra dimension. I also used CAC (create a critter for the stamp (cut @ 2" twice...front and back of flag)...I think for the boys I am going to get them a matchbox car and stick that in there with some candy.

Thank you for stopping by ..and have a awesome day.
