May Projects!! The Savings Bank & Antique Shop

Good Afternoon My Friends!

It's been crazy busy in the studio this month...There are projects lying around everywhere waiting to be shown, finished, tutorials written, etc.  I Love It!

This month I have added to the Thin House Mini Collection for the eighth in the series.  I decided to do a shop to add to the collection this month...A bit of a departure from the houses, but I think the Antique Shop will fit in nicely with the village we are creating and give it something extra.

When I was thinking about the The Antique Shop, I thought of rich colors dark colors and a bay window full of curiosities.  What better paper to use than Graphic 45's Love Notes Paper Collection.  I hope you like it and will consider adding it to your collection.

The Bank

The Second project is so fun...I love to save my change.  I have jars, and milk jugs and even a bank in my laundry room where I place all my coins as I take them out of my pockets.  I then take the coins into the bank before I go on a trip and use the money for fun excursions or even to pay for the trip.  So this month, my friend Kim suggested making a bank.  I created it using Heavy Kraft Chipboard.  Just follow the instructions to put it together and then paint it to your liking...This is my take on it...Hope you like!

Thanks so much and have a meaningful Memorial Day Weekend.
