I recently participated in a swap where we created several Valentine's Day cards, a mailbox, Cricut cuts, title cuts, and some other fun "stuff" to swap with a partner. Here are some of the Valentine's Day cards I created for Christina!!
Here's the mailbox I "altered" to put her Valentine's Day cards in - I just love the paper!! It's sparkly and textured - looks like Victorian wallpaper!!

Shabby Chic Stamp Storage
I just had to share my "trash to treasure" stamp storage story. My husband, son, and I were out running errands when we saw this little cabinet at the end of someone's driveway with the trash. They were out in their yard and we asked if we could have it and they said "Of course!" This is so much like a full-size cabinet my great grandmother had!
It's a little rough, but I just love the shabby chic feel! We cleaned it up and left the paint "as is". You'd be amazed how much room there is to store items! As you can see in the picture, I have room to grow! My House Mouse and other wooden stamps are in the top, glassed in section. My stamp pads are in the drawer, and my clear stamp blocks, gamsol, and other supplies are in the lower portion. It's a real treasure to me!
