Its no secret- I love dogs! I have 5 or them of all shapes and sizes. They are super spoiled- they have their own bedroom, we go on walks every day we can, they go to daycare during the day:

This picture is of my liver spotted dalmation Max- normally I don't post anything other than craft photos, but this little mailbox goodie will be his Valentine for our doggie daycare.

-I started with the little white mailbox from the $1 section at Target. I covered it in DCWV Mat stack DP (from the Pet Lover's Stack) and them used Martha Stewart's white twill tape to cover the seam on top of the box. I put three bone shaped brads all the way thru the mailbox to adorn the twill tape and also so I could use the one on the end for my closure.

-I covered the end in baja breeze cardstock (Stampin UP) and then put a paw shaped brad all the way thru the metal. I put a small piece of foam under the two brads used for the closure.

-I then stamped Pooches Place on whisper white (Stampin Up) with an alphabet from StudioG and layered in with pink pirouette and riding hood red (Stampin Up). I did the same with the A Muse sentiment on either side of the flag.

-The little hearts on the front are cut from leftover DP and applied with dimensionals.

-The ribbon around the "lids" is old olive and there are small pieces of it on the flag as well. The other ribbons on the flag are just scraps I had that coordinate well :o)

-The closure is an unused "ouchless" hair rubberband that doesn't have one of those little metal pieces on it....

-and VOILA a little treatbox to fill with goodies!
