My December Challenge at Scrapbookdeals4u.com

Create something holiday related (card, layout, altered item) with a scalloped element on it.

My FaLaLa mantle decoration!

1. Select papers to cover the entire chipboard houses. Adhere the houses to the paper.

2. Cut out the houses with your craft knife or scissors.

3. All 3 cut out.

4. Punch several scallop edges out of white cardstock and adhere to the roof-line. Also adhere to the ground for snow.

5. Ink edges of the houses and cut a piece of paper to cover the chimney. See the red strip on the right? That is the paper I used for my chimneys.

6. Cut rectangles for doors. Add red brads for doorknobs. Punch a hole in the middle house at the bottom for pointsetta. Glue red ferns to sides of flower. Adhere chipboard pieces, including figures and letters. Cut out green, glitter trees from pp and place on houses too. (I should have taken more pics of these steps along the way. I think I just got too into creating to remember!)

7. Decorate the chimney, roof-line, and scallops with stickles to mimic icicles. I stood the house up to dry overnight so the stickles would drip down a bit.

8. Use a hole puncher (a cropadile works awesomely) to punch 2 holes on the sides of the houses. Thread ribbon through holes and tie the houses together.

9. Display our project!
