I adhered buttons to the roof, then coated them with diamond glaze in order to give them an icy look.
I added frost to the windows with a white stamp pad. I also put some clear Stickles to add a little glitz. I made the snowman from buttons and twine.
I rarely do 2-page spreads anymore, but I wanted to include all these pictures without making it look cluttered. I love it so much, I just might have to do 2-pagers more often! ;)
I covered the chipboard letters with a couple coats of Tattered Angel's Glimmer Mist. I love this stuff! I love the glimmer it gives to the letters (the pictures don't do it justice) and the fact that I don't have to mess around with cleaning a paint brush is always a plus!
Supplies: Cardstock: Provo Craft; Patterned Paper, Chipboard, Alpha Stickers, Tags, Trim: Rusty Pickle; Brads: Making Memories; Glimmer Mist: Tattered Angels. Based on a Page Map by Beckie Fleck.
Journaling: Shelby lined up Sophie, Maggie, Jack & Makele to watch a dance performance in Grandma’s backyard. The adults were inside talking. When we looked out we saw Jack dancing with Maggie without any encouragement from anyone. So cute! May 10, 2009.
This layout was super quick - a rarity for me these days!
Supplies: Patterned Paper, Chipboard, Tag, Tab, Quote, Buttons: Rusty Pickle; Ink, Glitter Glue: Tim Holtz for Ranger; Pen: EK Success.
I got on a card making kick -
Supplies: Patterned Paper, Alpha Stickers: Rusty Pickle; Butterfly, Charms: Creative Charms; Stitching Template: Bazzill; Embroidery Floss: DMC; Ink: Tim Holtz for Ranger.
Supplies: Patterned Paper, Chipboard, Rub-ons: Rusty Pickle; Flowers: Creative Charms; Pen: EK Success; Ink: Tim Holtz for Ranger.

UR kidding, right? I do not have all my Christmas shopping done. We ran out of money a while ago. I'll probably be out there Christmas Eve. My boys just want money, but Mrs. Clause can never leave it at that! I love your little house, double page, and cards. Glimmer mist is my friend too. Happy HOHOHOlidays!
You are one talented lady! Love the holiday house, your layouts & cards. So much eye candy!

Oh I love your little house! It is so darling!
Love your cute projects!What Christmas shopping? I totally want to just give money this year.J/K
This year I am ordering online for most gifts( what's not handmade). After working retail for so many years I don't want to see the malls at Christmas.
What a cute little house. Love the button roof.

Your house is the cutest thing!! Awesome 2 pager as well. I to don't do many anymore but I do love to see the picture placement to hopefully remember for future use :) As far as my shopping, most of it is done, but just needs wrapped.

Oh heavans no, I'm not even close. But I've got time now to get it all done.
Your house is adorable!
Oh what a super cute house you have there!! Love the idea for the diamond glaze! All of your projects are beautiful!!
I got most of my shopping done throughout the year and on black friday believe it or not. However, now that we have two kids, our gift-giving has slimmed down a lot. The grandparents will be getting handmade gifts that include pics of their grandkids and I have not even started on those yet.
Love the altered house.
Finished Christmas shopping?! Are you kidding me??? I'm nowhere close to done. I'm waiting for Christmas vacation to start to get a lot of it done. It's just too tiring to deal with excited third graders all day and then think about shopping! Not to mention the 16 month old at home who always wants to play with her mommy.
I love your house, cute cute cute.
No, I am definitely not done. I am so far behind it isn't funny :) I love the little house and the cards are neat. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas!!

Love that darling little house! So fabulous!
I am not quite done with my Christmas shopping or my gift making for that matter. I'll just keep working a little each day.
Usually I am done, but this year I'm not even close yet.
Nice job
I love the diamond glaze on the buttons on the house! Might have to use that idea on some presents I am still making! In other words - no I am not done my shopping or creating!
