New Home

 My nephew recently bought his first house. My brother tells me that after he graduated high school that they told him he could still live at home rent free as long as that money went into a savings account for him to by his own house, I just thought that was a great idea and he did it!  Now he is all set if and when he ever gets married.


The clouds were stenciled and the rest are all die cuts.  I added some pattern paper behind the house windows.

  • Poppystamps - Brevilla Houses die (I used just one), country fence die and Stitched Landscape  dies
  • My Favorite Things - Cloud stencil using tumbled glass distress ink
  • Memory Box - Flying birds die
  • Taylored Expressions - Evergreens die
  • Hot off the press - 130 tiny words and Phrases stickers sentiment

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today and hope you enjoy a wonderful weekend!

A very nice scene. I love the look of white picket fences with a house on cards. It gives that "feel good" feeling to a card. Wonderful work putting in your clouds. Congrations to your nephew as well.
