A fun challenge from Simon Says Stamp this week - "House Rules" and I had these three building kits from Melissa Frances, some winter themed kits in blues, and a Saturday crop, so it all fell into place! Here are the basic steps I went through in creating my little village.  |
| Materials for the houses- paper and embellishments from kits |
 |
| Trees, tinsel, stains, stickles... |
 |
| Trace the cardboard pieces, then cut out carefully |
 |
| Adhere papers to chipboard and ink |
 |
| Construct the house, add some "gingerbread" |
 |
| All put together, and ready to fancy up |
 |
| Completed house, with more snow than I have yet seen this year |

Now, to get the Christmas tree up and the house decorated for the holidays!
Wow, gorgeous! I was so tempted by these little houses recently, but I managed to resist... now I'm slipping again!
