Tah Dah!!!

It's finally here! The grand finale of my paper crafting weekend! Are you ready?? Are you sure? Here they are....

Ta dah! Houses!!!

Aren't they fun! Have you ever seen those chipboard/cardboard houses at the craft store? Thats what these are. I bought five in 3 different sizes. For ages they sat around painted in solid colors- a little boring. After I found the fun scrapbook paper I knew these houses had to be covered in it some how.

I can't take credit for all of these houses though. My mom joined in the paper crafting and together we created a cute little village that we are calling "Hopscotch Lane"! I think our two different styles make these houses look so unique and look as though they belong in a cute little town.

                            Aren't these little chipboard figures fun? The kids are just too cute.

I added an extra little surprise inside. They aren't just cardboard houses, oh no, they light up!

 

I just cut a hole in the back of each house with an exacto knife and added a light bulb. I found a strand of 5 c7 lights that were made for a village at the craft store. How lucky was that find?!

                            I love love love anything that lights up so this makes me insanely happy.

So I hope you were inspired to pick up or use some scrapbook paper you have been coveting and have fun making some cute projects for your home!
