The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers - "N" is for NOT a Card

Happy Day everyone!  I cannot wait to share my latest project with you today, created for the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers 60th Challenge: "N" is for Not a Card...

I must say that making this was the most fun I have had in a very long time!  And as I was making it there were so many ideas for variations on the theme flooding into my brain that I actually had to go walk outside to calm down my creative self!

The idea to add faces peeking out of the windows came to me early on in the process... but the idea of adding ME peeking out came to me when I had only one empty window left to fill.  And of course, why limit "me" to just a face when I could add my entire figure?

And after adding myself to this project the house took on an entirely different kind of energy and has now become my own personal and empowering charm that I will be looking at all year long to remind myself of what I want to remind myself about (smile).

I cannot stop adding little personal items to this wee house that have meaning only to me.  I want to make MORE and MORE of them, each one in the image of a person I Love or Admire.

You will want to stay tuned to see more of these wonderful little creations - so please do come back to visit! Grin

Now for those of you that want to know, I used the Sizzix BIGZ XL Die #660992, Village Dwelling to make my house.  Please check out the Canadian on-line store Stitch in the Ditch for some of the best Sizzix die selections and pricing I have found anywhere for Canadians. (and NO I am not being paid to say this! Smile).  I used Creative Scrapbooker's Super Stock to create the base house and painted it with my Silks Acrylic Glazes.  The roof was created from my old Harmonie tiles (another defunct Canadian company, sigh) but I have quite a collection and I am so happy I found this perfect use for them.  The images in the windows came my Graphic 45 Renaissance collection, the  first Graphic 45 paper I purchased and which I have been Hoarding! And then I just added everything and anything that appealed to me.  That's all I am sharing for now, except that this wee house has come to mean more to me than even I could have foreseen.  

Now please do pop on over to the Sisterhood to see what my design team mates have created for the "N" is Not A Card" challenge and please do consider linking up one of your own projects for this challenge.  You have until June 10th and we always pick a Queen of Snark and a Princess to serve her!
