This was a fun inspiration! We went to a pinterest Christmas Idea page (one of Laurel Seabrook's boards). There were lots of wonderful Christmas ideas, but this is the one that I went with:
The little house is on the Joys of the Seasons Cricut cartridge. I added gesso and stickles for sparkly snow. The side roof was made with pink rick-rack. Thanks for stopping by!

Oh Kathleen this is gorgeous. I dare not look at your pinterest link - I looked at Gabby's link and just spent a small fortune LOL. Your card is wonderful and I especially love the smoke trail. You are so creative!!

OK. DARLING! I loved this Pinspiration to begin with and you have just taken it up a notch! Those pink trees are pure magic and your use of pink ric rac for the roof is pure genius!

Cool! I figured, without looking, that your inspiration was a gingerbread house. You nailed it! I love gingerbread houses and I love all the pink.
