It doesn’t have to be a “people” house… why not a bird house, a dog house, a hamster house….think outside of the… people house!

So get your card template FREEBIE from Monday and show me a house creation!!! Link your card from your blog HERE.
The SCOOP on this card: Bird = basic grey chip board shapes; Papers = Cherry Arte, October Afternoon, Bo Bunny, Bazzill; Ribbon = scrap from stash!
For those of you who are pondering what to do with the “house” theme here are 3 new digital stamps that would be perfect!

It’s time for a FREEBIE and keeping with our weekly theme HOME here is an appropriate shaped card template for you! HINT: after you have cut out your template start your fold by meeting the bottoms together and working up with a bone folder or a ruler. If it over laps a little, no worries, just trim it. Enjoy!
