And here is my first project for you! Here is my Happy Mail Project also using Critters with Heart stamps

First i'll show you some different angles of the Happy Mail pretty packaging template! You may remember that i got to do a sneak peek of this template last week with the Just Us Girls challenge team! So here it is again, but with a totally different feel! :)

Remember those metal mail boxes that were all the rage at Target a few years back! Well imagine being able to easy peasy put one together, and with your favorite papers so it would easily coordinate with the card you make to go with the gift? Well now you can! With My Time Made Easy's Happy Mail template!

Above is a quick view of the inside. It's quite roomy in there, i could even fit a real envelope. Probably should have done that for the picture! haha! I decided to also decorate the inside a smidge by adding the scalloped border just along the edge to match the hinged door.

Now this mailbox is larger than the Happy Mail that i made last week with all the bling. This one has been enlarged by 120% so that it is as large as I could fit on a 12x12 piece of cardstock.

Since it is a pretty good size (4 inches across), I opted to use the digital stamp version (oh, you heard me right, MTME is now offering DIGITAL stamps as well as their awesome acrylic stamps... you can find a link to them HERE.

This little piggie is from the Critter's With Heart digital stamp set. This stamp set is identical to the acrylic version, but a big bonus is that you can resize the images! So you can make one big ol' piggie if you want to! ;) I also used one of the sentiments in the digi version so i could enlarge it to the size of the mailbox.

So that completes my Happy Mail project, but no Happy Mail is complete without the actual mail! :) So i decided to add in this card (which actually does fit inside the mailbox!)

Now considering by this point of my long weekend deal of winter storms, extreme driving conditions, somewhat um.. excited brides and bridesmaids and then, oh yeah, we decided to redo my craft room... my mojo was a little more than spent! To be honest... i had NO idea where i was going with this card other than i thought i'd use the actual acrylic stamp set rather than the digis and that i wanted to keep with the same color scheme so i figured i'd use the scraps of the digi paper i had already printed. So i guess i was going with the what ever happens kinda card! Well i must admit, perhaps i should go with that a little more often because i was quite pleased with how the card came together and it came together fast!

I did use the scraps of cardstock (from Couture Cardstock, forgot to mention that before, but it'll be down in the deets) and scraps of digi paper from the new Gaga for Gingham collection and the Darling Dots collection. I colored my image with Copic Markers as i did on the Happy Mail template and stamped my sentiment directly onto the paper and suddenly, i had a card. And a cute one! Don't you love it when it just comes together?! Here are some details shots for ya!

So there you have it! GO check out the store for all the yummy goodness and dont forget to check out these awesome Design Team members for their stunning projects!
