| My Daughter's House! |
I used Tim Holtz Rickety House and did lots of paper piecing and cuttlebug highlights. I cut out extras to make window/door frames! The fence was die cut and crackled painted with Fired Red and then Rock Candy. The background paper is Mr. Holtz and I added Rock Candy Stickles over the California and Oregon licence plates. I added the buttons and used some decorative thread (from when I sewed) and glued them on the fence post. I used some old lace from my Mom's belongings for the curtains and the little green ribbon is from a gift my DD gave me. Oh, I tried to capture the character of my DD new/old house.
While I was blogging this, I heard the mailman and I received some "Happy Mail." Julie Forest sent me this lovely thank you card and I see she used Tim's new movers and shapers butterflies and they are so pretty. I see some i-Rock goodness and Julie let me know that the i-Rock, Rocks! Thank you, Julie, I love this card!

Love this card, perfect for your daughter, Love LOVE the outside of her new home (awesome). Have a great weekend!
Oh my gosh, Terry! what news! I can't believe she's moving---but, oh your card is fantastic! and so is Julie's!
I LOVE your story about you and your mom--it had me in stitches--I love the part about "she started it!"
I imagine you will be visiting Oregon ALOT! I sure hope she loves it there.

Be aware when those young ones leave home,they quite often return!
I'm a new follower,hope you will follow me as well. Hugs, Amy
Love the house scene you created for your daughter. Fab details you added, the license plate paper makes a great background!
Fabulous creations, Terry! You have so much originality!
Wow, your daughter's new house is fabulous! Your is perfect for her new home card.I've heard Oregon is beautiful-can we say,"ROAD TRIP?" ;-) Love all the details.
I loved how you captured your daughters house...The license plate background is just right.Very cool piece! gerri
Beautiful card and your daughter's home is so nice. My adult kiddo's live in Arkansa..about a ten hour drive and itis hard not to see them very often...but, you're right..they have to live their dreams, too :)
Fabulous card- I love all of the details. Oh,18 hours is a long way away! Your visits will be over-nighters now and Oregon is so beautiful- great place to visit!
Terry your daughter's card is a real labor of love. It is adorable. So much to take in. I love it. What a lovely thank you card you deserve it.
I know what you mean about capturing the colors. My hubby is a retired photographer he says always use a tripod and the camera timer so you don't jiggle and NO flash. Easy for him to say he didn't photograph glitter and shimmer. I usually resort to scanning in the end.
Wow love the little house - it's fantastic and all the detail is wonderful! Like the butterfly card too!
Great work. All of those houses - real and created - look great! Valerie
Your house card is perfect! Love all the details you added to it! Your Daughter will love it. Pretty thank-you card too, those butterflies are on their way to my house soon! Can't wait to play with them!

Love this House die... You make it so personal!!
Stampin' Hugs Vada.
A gorgeous card to celebrate your daughters house move. She will love it I'm sure. xx
Hi Terry,
That house you created is just as cool looking as your daughter's house. Beautiful work!
My heart goes out to you though. I can only imagine how difficult it would be to have your daughter that far away.
Lots of traveling in your future....
Hi Terry
I just love the house you created, that is such a special gift.
No wonder you are happy/sad.
The card from Jules is gorgeous.
Wishes for a lovely weekend.

Your house card is another fabulous creations of yours Terry. I know you must be feeling a bit sad, but come to think of it: what's distance when you know you're close at heart? Have a great weekend, Ira x
Sad she will be further away from her lovely Mum, but what a beautiful card! Wishing her all the best in her new home,
Lucy x
Your daughter's house looks wonderful - and so is the card you've made for her, so many glorious details. When you do visit each other it'll be all the more special now and there's always the telephone and skype (not that I know what that is!). Best wishes to her for following her dream xx
What a gorgeous house you created--so cool to see it with the picture of her home too. I would not have thought to use the license plate background--creative genius! My older son lives about 9 hours away, so I only know a smidge about that happy for them/sad for us feeling.
And I gotta tell ya...I laughed when I read your comment on my blog about the toothpaste--my DH hasn't stopped chatting about it too. Ha Ha! You go girl!!
I have to agree. It's so hard to say good by when your kids want to leave.. I was so sad when my daughter moved out.. But a year later she bought a house right down the street.. I am so lucky... Her house look so pretty.. Best of luck to her and to you my friend...
Your card is wonderful..
Hugs, Linda
IDAHO! I VOTE FOR IDAHO!
I know I'm in Nevada ... but we're hoping to someday get back to Idaho!
And, in addition to the feeling of admiration of the beautiful card you created for your daughter ... I'm feeling a bit jealous: I want her new/old house!
Have a great weekend my friend!
Just a quick hello. Sorry I haven't been by. Income tax week.Yuck! I love your house. I saw it yesterday but when I went to comment our internet left. I feel sad that your daughter will be farther away but I know she will love her "house". Soon...Donna

I LOVE this, I love how the rickety house turned out, thank goodness I have that die. You do such awesome work, I'm very impressed.
I LOVE your card. the detail on the rickety house is amazing. You have completely inspired me to get that house out and play. Well, I guess if your daughter stays put - moving close to her would be great. however, I will tell you, AZ is a great place to live. Our daughter is in Washington, and have just budgeted in a few trips a year back and forth :-)
Absolutely lovable little rickety house! i love house creations and this one makes me happy just to look at it.
