Welcome to the Papertrey Ink November 2013 Blog Hop!
The Challenge:
There are lots of fun and creative blogs to hop to today, so let me show you (through mostly photos) what I did!
I took these PTI dies
to make this.
I added this house die
to make the front of my house…
which you may be able to tell, is a church.
I adhered this to the front of the house template we downloaded from PTI.
Then I added some texture and holiday decor,
to make a little Christmas church.
Here's a little closer look. I may have gotten a tad carried away with the glitter.
There's a birthday party going on at the back of the church.
Here's one side of the church. The other side looks just like this one.
What's a Christmas church without a little candlelight (or battery operated tea light). The window is covered with vellum that I stamped and embossed.
If you go around to the back, you can pretend you're at a live nativity.
Maybe have a little coffee or hot chocolate...
"In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men". -John 1:4
Now, I can't wait to see what you all have made! I am always challenged by all the creativity out there.
Thanks for stopping by and all the wonderful comments you give me!

Carolanne, you rocked this challenge! In love with every detailed wonder! The garland, the tree, the brick, the nativity! Girl, wish I had a blue ribbon to hang on the steeple!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful project...I really appreciate the tutorial. Great work!
ReplyDeleteNot possible to get carried away with glitter in my opinion! Such a creative project...just beautiful and loved your step by step!
ReplyDeleteCarolann this is brilliant ! How did you ever come up with this! My favorite part is the Birthday party going on in the back! You thought of everything. It's beautiful lit too! Going back to take another look at your beautiful creation.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I would never in a million years be creative enough to use my dies to make something like this from scratch. Just beautiful from every side.

Oh, wow, this looks fabulous! Thanks for showing how you put it all together!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! Your creativity is amazing. Love the addition of the Nativity.
ReplyDeleteCarolanne, you blew me away with your creativity with this one. I love the texture on the walls, the lovely nativity scene and the candlelight makes it so special!
ReplyDeleteThis is so incredibly beautiful, and you can never have enough glitter in my opinion! And I also love the fact that you included the "birthday party" going on in the back of the church...and lit up no less! Fantastic job Carolanne!! :0)
ReplyDeleteYou smarty-pants! Way to go, using those dies to make that tiny house into a church. You even did the inside beautifully. (I used colored vellum in the windows to keep anyone from sneaking a peek inside.) The greenery on the roof with all the glittered snow makes the look totally magical. Thank you for playing and taking the time to leave kind comments yourself. Have a lovely Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteVery creative. Love how you made this into a church. I need to do this. Love the back of the church too!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL! I LOVE everything about it!

Very clever. Love all the different elements.
ReplyDeleteWhoa, Carolanne, you put a TON of work into this beautiful creation, complete with a magnificent Nativity scene! I'm blown away!!
