Taylored Expressions Blast From the Past Blog Hop October 2010

Welcome to the Taylored Expressions Blast From the Past October Blog Hop!  Our focus this month is for the upcoming holiday and Christmas season.  We were to either use a TE holiday stamp set, or give a holiday spin to any other TE stamp set.  We were also given this wonderful sketch:

 

I chose to use the stamp set Holiday Wonder, and wanted to create my own magical home.  I first stamped the house in white, then fine linen, then cherry cobbler, and then paper pieced the layers.  I also cut out the two windows and clear embossed then to make them shiny (it's a little hard to see in the photo).  I also paper pieced the curtains, and stamped the Christmas tree in the window.  I added lots of glitter, some sparkly fluff for the snow, and then put together the background.

"Enjoy the Magic of Christmas"

I also made the door to open, and added a little sentiment.  My son had great fun holding the door open!
