Good morning! Hope wherever you are, it's turning out to be a beautiful day for you. It's my most favorite kind of day here, rainy, drizzly, cloudy, and cozy, with bits of sun rays reaching through the clouds...and then there is the way it smells outside after the rain has come...simply perfect.
The pace is picking up here with Papertrey Ink new releases on the horizon and plenty of projects being created, but before that starts, I have a fun Christmas village to share with you. This was created for Emma's Paperie using My Mind's Eye products and wooden houses I purchased through etsy.
My Mind's Eye has created the most beautifully vintage Christmas collection called Vintage Christmas. I love every inch of it.
A complete supply list can be found HERE along with instructions to create your own.
And, I would name the second half of my post, Creepy, Cozy, Halloween, as I have a haunted house to share with you, created for a special customer.
I used plenty of Graphic 45 Steampunk Spells along with bits and pieces of things I have been hanging onto in order to use on just the right project.
I used Studio Calico's Mister Huey mist on a couple of Melissa Frances mini bottle brush trees....this was fun to try.
So many reasons to love this time of year :). Creating things like this is just one of them.
Enjoy your day.
Melissa
Your little Christmas houses are so sweet, but I am in absolute awe of the Halloween house! I don't think I could put it away when the season was over. Lucky person that this was created for!

Can't decide which is more fun. The Christmas village is darling and the Halloween house is amazing. Your friend will love that fun bit of spookiness. Love what you did with the bottle brush trees. We had the rain yesterday. My dog was so enamored with all the new smells while we were out walking in the morning. I love fall! Thanks for showing us your goodies & I can't wait to see your PTI projects. Hugs.
