The Smallest House

I'm continuing the dual birthday celebrations at Let's Get Sketchy and Scrap Our Stash today. The second Stash-a-Thon challenge from Scrap Our Stash is to use a paper doily on a page, and I'm combining it with Michelle's challenge from the Let's Get Sketchy blog hop. She gave us a sketch and also asked us to use some bling.

I'm running short of single photos so I went all the way back to 2002 for a picture of the smallest house in Great Britain. It's in Conwy, North Wales, and is just 6 feet wide. I used a doily in my layers and gems to form the bodies of the butterflies in my embellishments.



That border sticker was the last one from the pack and it's been living on my desk for a while in an attempt to use it up. I'm glad that I've found it a home on a page at last.

Doily - Dovecraft
