You've Got Mail - Altered Tea Box

Here is a fun little mailbox complete with letters.  Using the tea box shown below ... I popped it apart so it would lay flat and I traced it onto a piece of 12x12 cardstock.  The cardstock was a tad short to get all the flaps so I had to cut a couple with the scraps and glue to the main part of the box ... make sense? ;)  This was my first attempt and I kind of messed up the top flap so it's not as crisp as I would like.  Next time will be better. :)

Love my Chai Lattes!

I decided to get brave and try something ... I stamped the heart flowers on the side of the box ... over the top of the ribbon.  Not perfect, but I  decided it gives character to the mailbox.

It dispense's the little letters perfectly.

I made a variety of letters by decorating pieces of cardstock with cute embellishments and writing little messages on the back.
