Is it you??? :)
I know a few people celebrating this week - and I must say, they're all pretty darn special!
I'm here with one more project from My Time Made Easy. I went simple and clean, monochromatic, and am quite pleased with my results. I needed packaging for a necklace and earring set I picked up for a friend. I thought the You've Got Mail template would be a nice touch -- when you pull open the front of the mailbox, there it is!
Here's the view from the front:
I used the stamp set Critters With Heart. These little animals really are SO cute. My friend has a collection of owls, so really, this image and sentiment is PERFECT!
The base of my template uses some cardstock from Couture Cardstock, called Silent Night. The front and side panels are the fabulous Ga Ga for Gingham paper by Kristin, also in silent night. Of course, in retrospect, I wish I had made my paper double sided...*sigh*. Not sure what I was thinking there.
Anywhoo -- *giggle* here is the mailbox open, so you can see the very "sparkalay" necklace and earrings. Doesn't it just sit in there so nicely??
Now here's one more photo, to try and get the top - I used some silver tinsel ribbon to make a larger bow to place on top, and placed some flower die cuts from Flutters and Flowers on top - secured with a filagree brad from SU!. I kept it simple, and it went together quite quickly and easily.

Cute box today, that owl is just adorable!
Your mail box is just adorable with the great color and gingham checks. (love gingham checks) The owl on front with the Birthday phrase is cute. Thanks for the ideas.
Tracey - all your projects are fantastic! Today's creation is awesome - love how you put jewelry in it! But my fav is your iPhone!!! I own one too and would be lost without it! I can't believe you replicated one so amazingly with just cardstock and stamps!!! Great inspiration girl!
I love all of the different ideas and how the colors change the look - this is probably not a template that I would have looked at................
