Christmas Letter Box

Christmas Letter Box

Hi everyone!  How are you doing today?   Thanks so much for popping by 🙂 Have you ever wanted to have a simple but beautiful way store your Christmas cards?  I designed this box to hold my Christmas cards with an opening on the top to mimic an old fashioned mail slot.  The new Heartfelt Creations Sparkling Poinsettia collection is beautiful and I am excited to show you more projects using this gorgeous new collection in the coming weeks.

About Castlepark Designs

My name is Joann and I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia with my husband Miles. We have one son who is in the Royal Canadian Navy. I have worked full time in the Finance and Insurance industry for the past 29 years. I absolutely adore all things paper & glue and have been involved with crafting in some way for most of my life. I have a great admiration for creating projects from paper that may not necessarily be made from paper. When not in my craft room, I enjoy spending time at our cottage enjoying all that nature and suburban life has to offer.
