Midnight Madness Challenge #29 Gingerbread Village

Hi everyone and welcome to another week of Midnight Madness. I did go a little mad with the sketch this week. You know I love Teddy Bears, but I bet you didn't know I also love Gingerbread...they're kind of the same color aren't they? I have had this idea stuck in my head forever and thought this sketch was perfect to do it....so I went for it. I have my Christmas decorations up already so you can see I stuck the frame in my Gingerbread tree. I will treat you one day this week to a picture of this tree.
These images are freebies over at D.A.I.S.I.E. Company by Gina Jane. Isn't this the cutest thing you ever saw??? I even made my peppermints and wrapped them in the cellophane you normally throw away that your embellishments come in. I have been finding creative things to do with stuff your normally discard. I made all these houses 3D. The Gingerbread Man and the Gingerbread Girl in the middle of this picture are shakers.The heart in the middle is also a shaker and is really so cute. You can see I did lots of stitching. I will tell you that I also cut up a UPS box for the backing for this that I would have normally thrown away and I covered it with felt so you can't even tell on the back.You can get a good view of those peppermints in this picture with the one in the top left corner.I had one house left over....so guess what? I made a gift card to go with my picture frame with that one.Here is the card and believe it or not, I followed the sketch. The lollipop and heart are both shakers.

This is the inside of the card. These Gingerbread Boy and Girl are the same shakers that are in the frame. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed doing these. It was a lot of fun putting this together. I just love them!!! By the way, I had some help with the frame. My dear husband made this frame for me and stained it......so this project was a combined effort of the Hurlock family!!! LOL
