I bought myself a die...

and made this..

The house is about 2.5 cm

I think houses may be the new deer!

Little Houses Made Of....

...chipboard.. not ticky tacky... whatever that is.

Something to hang on your tree

Texture goes a long way...This stuff  from 3djean is great, no more adding colour to gesso or white texture gel, it does what it says on the tin! On this tag I used the Gummy Berry Bear mixed with Tidy Widy.... only because I didn't clean the stencil between colours... how lazy is that but I love the colour. It seems you can mix the colours!

The images are from Artchix.. you can find them here..

I love houses..

I used a chevron stencil on this tag with the Jelly Bean Green and the Artchix house image sheet. All the work has been done for you with these images... just the thing when you're mojo-less.

Houses again with Gummy Berry Bear. through a dotty stencil.

Rose ribbon trim

Red and blue... so far out of my comfort zone...but sometimes it's good to get out of your box!

How cute are these little bird houses!....just the thing for this little chap, he's made from paper clay, you can find it here I just love that stuff, it's so versatile....his hat is just a cone of paper.

His house sits on a half polystyrene ball covered with map paper (I'm sticking everything on these at the moment...it makes a change from wheels!)

A bit of German scrap and a stamped tape measure finishes the base... which is an empty ribbon reel.

Little Houses Made Of...

...this paper and these..After birds houses must be one of my favourite images. These are so cute, they're about 8cm tall. they could be decorated in anyway you like but I love this paper.




it's a work of art in itself so if want instant results then this is for you.

and of course nothing is complete without wings!

Home Bird!

This little wooden house (it's about 2.5" square) has been sitting around for eighteen months waiting for a tenant....remember the paperclay bird? well there was a marble sized piece of clay leftover so I made a mini bird..................


and he's just the right size for this house!

So he moved in! Take a Word have Birdlife as their theme this week.

I did think of making a mini crown but never got around to it.

And....

Here's another one...... more my usual style methinks......

It's all bits and pieces from that ever expanding 'Bit Box'

There's a new challenge blog called Take a Word, which I haven't got around to entering as yet but this week's word is Home so I think this might be appropriate.

I just love that banner stamp from Hero Arts!

Home Sweet Home

New stamps.......... I love Hero Arts stamps... they give me my 'cute' fix without being yukky cute.
I wanted to make a house on wheels but it turned out a little different so I'm saving the wheel thing for later.

They were just stamped onto scraps (Tim Holtz) of paper, stuck to chipboard and mounted onto a base made from foam core board.

The bunting was cut out and hung from florists wire........ just love that stuff!

I think this will meet the theme for this weeks LTDO challenge which is architecture.

PS!... do you remember this little chap who was looking for a new home?........ well he'll be winging his way to Lullabelle who was the first name pulled out of the hat!

Home Sweet Home

.......is this weeks Gothic Arches challenge............. it's not 5 minutes since I've done the last one.......... must work faster! The house is a clip art image , the trees are Hero Arts and the doll is Catslife Press
