Gingerbread House Layout

I finally finished my sister's Christmas present today. I was supposed to meet my parents in Michigan tomorrow and we were going to exchange Christmas presents. However , the ice storm changed those plans. So I just dropped everything off at UPS.

The gingerbread house layout is what I did for her for Christmas. She isn't really into scrapbooking, but she loves to have pictures throughout her house and work. The cookie frosting was a new technique for me and it was very easy. I used Tulip's slick paint and dropped beads as jimmies on top of the cookie. I then let it dry out over night.

Queen of Hearts

Wow, making the Queen of Hearts was a lot of fun! I stepped outside of my comfort zone and actually sewed the lace onto her outfit. What a challenge. Sewing on paper is difficult, let alone trying to deal with teeny tiny seams! I used suede paper for the dress and coat. The design of the bear is copyrighted by ECBE. She's in the store as a 2 page layout, but can be special ordered as an embellishment. Doesn't she just steal your heart?
