You can start hopping right here to see a bunch heartwarming artwork with the "Around the Block" stamp set. (If you're already hopping, then you should have come here from Deb's blog. Scroll down to find the next stop.)
As soon as I saw all the stamps in this set to create your own houses, I thought about the verse that I put on this card. (I simply typed the verse the size I wanted and then printed it out on the lighter side of a piece of B&T paper from the Grace collection.) I had a lot of fun paper-piecing the various elements of this card to give them depth and dimension. (I love my CTMH micro-tip scissors for this kind of teeny tiny work!)
I used my markers to color the curtains and my blending pen for the cloud, the windows themselves, and the flowers in the flower box. I used the Grace paper pack plus Bamboo

cardstock for the actual house, but threw in some Sweet Leaf paper from the Emporium pack for the "topiaries" by the door. (Thanks, Karen P., for idea! See how the cloud stamp was turned on its side?)Isn't the bitty brad the cutest little door knob? Don't you just want to knock and see who's home? I also embellished the sentiment piece with a few more brads (regular and bitty size).
I can't wait to create a layout about our house, so be looking for that in the near future. This set is also going to be cute to scrapbook the girls' dollhouse and all the fun they have playing with it.

The dollhouse idea is of course inspired! I really don't like this stamp set, but I like your ideas and what you did with it..maybe it's not so bad after all....why do I always do that?
