♥ Home Sweet Home ♥

Hi everyone! Just stopping in with a card I made for this week's City Crafter challenge. Home Sweet Home! They want to see a house on your project.


I covered a Maya Road chipboard house with some papers by The Girls Paperie. I then added some trim, a punched heart, Liquid Pearls and some punched butterflies.


Just a quick and easy card that can be made for someone special. I also used some twine, a button, paper piercer, seam binding and the sentiment was printed out of MS Word onto white cardstock.

Here is the lovely City Crafter inspiration photo~


And speaking of Home Sweet Home, I wanted to show you a pic or two of my landing above my front door. I had nothing up there because I couldn't think of what to do with it. At Christmas time it was great because I would put a tree up there with presents around it, but the rest of the year it was empty! So I had recently went to a consignment shop (never had gone to one before), well, now I am hooked! When I was in there, I saw this old trunk. It was only $35! A light bulb then went off in my head! I am going to do the theme "Grandma's Attic" for my empty space!


Mostly everything is from Home Goods. The "old books" are boxes I picked in Michaels for 60% off. The dress form I picked up in Marshall's for $50! I may add 1 or 2 more things but I really love that space now. So if you have a consignment shop near you, stop in! You never know what you may find or how you may be inspired!!


Have a wonderful weekend!!
