Sometimes I'm slow to jump on the bandwagon...what I call the Splitcoaststamper's Bandwagon. SCS has a huge membership and a strong impact in the stamping community...new products are posted and before you know it, stores are "out-of-stock". For Valentine's Day 2007, Target sold these sweet little metal mailboxes in their dollar spot. SCS has over 950 mailboxes uploaded in their gallery...over 950! The mailboxes are back for 2008 and I managed to alter 2 of them....they are for Z's teachers. They are stuffed full of Valentine's Day goodies.
Thanks to emilymomto3boys for posting a tutorial on her blog on how to cover these mailboxes without popping off their flag {why "fix" something when it isn't broken?}. ~recipe~
