I was going through some old photos and happened across these ones of my kids decorating gingerbread houses. They were too cute not to scrap, so I pulled out a scrapbook sketch and my bag of Christmas themed papers and started sorting through the scraps until I liked the arrangement of them. I knew I had a cute house die-cut on one of my Cricut cartridges, and the title was on the same page in the booklet, so I decided to edit it from "I'll be home for Christmas" to "Making a Home for Christmas" to highlight my two little builders! The kids had fun decorating their house, and I probably had just as much fun decorating mine with glitter gel.
And here's a close up of the house with all the glitter!
