Winter Mailbox

I'm Michelle Zerull. For many years, our family lived in Michigan where the air was cold and the snow was beautiful. It was always a treat to find a letter or card in the snow-topped mailbox. When I saw the beautiful papers in the Carta Bella Winter Market Collection, I was reminded of my own mailbox, sitting beside the large pine tree. How beautiful it was amongst a mound of fresh snow! My feet were cold, but the mail in that box warmed my heart!

The Winter Market Collection Kit has some of the prettiest Winter florals I have ever seen in a collection. The patterns are full of blues and greens with pinecones and leafy sprays that belong in a Winter Wonderland! I love the journaling cards too. These cards don't need to stay in a pocket! I cut the "Let it Snow" portion from the "3X4 Patterned Paper" and topped it with the pretty flower spray on the Winter Market Element Sticker Sheet. It made a wonderful focal point on the Winter Market mailbox.

The mailbox wouldn't be complete with some Happy Mail! I used the 6X6 Paper Pad to make a mini gift enclosure card to accompany the mailbox, which can serve as a pretty gift box. The Winter Market 6X6 Paper Pad has scaled down versions of the beautiful 12x12 papers. It also includes scaled down versions of the wonderful journaling cards too, which are what I used for the card. The watercolor penguins were cut from the 6x6 Pad journaling cards as well. So many fun images to use in that paper pad!

I loved making this project. The florals and patterns are true artistry, which made them a joy to work with. Winter Market is one of those collections where you save every little scrap because they're too pretty to throw away. With Winter Market, I know that I'll continue to make many more beautiful projects throughout the long Winter months ahead. I think you will too.
