I made this as a Christmas gift for my neighbors. They maintain a beautiful home and decorate it so nicely. His pride and joy are the light up polar bears (lower right corner). In 2015, the bears he had fizzled out and he was crushed - until he found some new ones. At that same time, I saw the Mama and Baby Bears die from Impression Obsession and got the idea to recreate their house at Christmas, in paper. It has taken me 2 years from initial thought to completion. I was troubled on what to do for the background but saw a tutorial on the Simon blog on how to make it look like snowfall and light it up, perfect timing. My neighbors LOVED it. So relieved to have this done; I've got a lot of catching up to do on the galleries! I used A LOT of products on this so I'm not going to do a list here, but if you like to know specifically what I used or how I did it, please just ask.

This is really a great piece - I can only imagine the time and effort that went into it. Such a nice return gift to your neighbors. Really beautiful work - I love the “stonework” on the house.
