I did make a slight adjustment to the sides of the house I lowered the height by about 1/8 of an inch so the smaller roof fit properly. I used Snow Tex on the roof and fence. This was the first time using this and I really liked working with it. I used mica on the house, fence and base. I mixed a bit of rice flower with white paint for the snow on the loofah tree. I am thinking I may try the red house next. Howard your right theses little houses are fun to make!!

so...you like yellow and blue, too!...

your yellow house turned out great...a really vintage look...i think that's what we're all after in our own way...the green fence, low base and a flip of the pattern gives it another look...it just goes to show you how versatile these 45+ year old patterns really are...

my very best regards...howard...

greetings to all...

here's my version of the "yellow house"...and...i swear...lynn and i did not conspire to choose the blue roof color...

if anyone wants a "starter village"...there is no better place to start than building the "pack-o-fun" houses...

and just like lynn did...flip patterns...change the colors...go with high and low base types...different landscape...

turn these five basic patterns into many, many houses...

i think there is only one thing missing...a "LOGGIE"...got to see what i can do about that...

stay tuned...

my very best regards...

good afternoon...

the "pack-o-fun" village needs a "loggie"...here's mine...based on the reversed layout that lynn used on her "yellow house"...

the "small ripple" or "small flute" single-face cardboard is craft store scrap booking material laminated to cereal box cardboard...

my very best regards...howard...
