Village of Cuteness

Today I'm sharing with you the "village" we made at Convention for the +Fun classes they offered.  Presenting my Village of Cuteness...


How stinkin' adorable are these little houses!?!?!  They're made with 2x4's!  We first painted them with acrylic paint and then distressed them using the Distressing Essentials kit inks and the flat rubber stamp that comes in the kit.  Ahhhh - I just love them!  They are proudly displayed in our living room :).

A couple of things I want to point out... Check out the hinges on the Cherry Cobbler and More Mustard doors. They're made with the Mini Library Clips! - and using Craft & Rubber Scissors, we clipped the ends off of them to make them look like hinges.  Who thinks of these things???  Such a great idea.  Also, the doors and the window box are made with our Wood Sheets and we used the direct-to-wood sheet method (same as the direct-to-paper method) and just applied ink directly to the wood sheets with ink pads.

Any questions, please let me know.  Thanks for stopping by today and have a wonderful weekend!
