Welcome to the
For this blog hop we used classic paper lines from Graphic 45 - Communique or Playtimes Past.
Here I have used Communique to create a vintage Mailbox as a stationary holder.
The top of the box opens to reveal a section for postage and for Cards. The lower compartment contains envelopes for the cards.
The Front of the box opens to reveal an address book
I was fun to revisit and old favorite again....sort of like getting a letter from an old friend! I will be doing this project later this summer on my Ustream show.
Leave a comment at all of the stops on the hop to be entered in a drawing for a wonderful prize package!
Check out these other awesome stops on the Hop!
