House Shaped Artist Trading Card for you!!

Everything I used to make this ATC is included in this month's kit, and I still had some pieces left over like the lace and Santa charm.  I would have loved to have added glitter and snow to my ATC, but I wanted to make one from just the kit contents.  So many possibilities with this month's kit.  Enjoy all!!

This is a photo with the front door closed.  But guess who is waiting inside??



This photo I have opened the door to show Santa inside the house.
