Polygons & home, sweet home!

I can definitely be a homebody at times, I've just always really enjoyed my home and can always find something to do just hangin' around the house. Home is definitely my sweet place to be!  I've seen alot of cute cards & altered chipboard houses & albums and I love "home" as a theme and have been wanting to make cards celebrating it.  The 365 Cards challenge for Day 185 is to create a card using a polygon (with a min. of 5 sides) as a dominant shape on your card.  I got out my scissors & scraps and started cutting shapes and quickly realized that a house is a 5 sided shape...perfect!  Home should always be comfortable so I wanted my card to have a kind of cozy, shabby look.  I started with my favorite (right now) kraft cs and embossed it & distressed the edges a little.  The patterned papers I used are from BoBunny & Basic Grey, for the house I used a piece of paper from a MM journaling pad, the chipboard alphas are from Momenta & Bazzill, the tiny type alpha strickers are from Cosmo Cricket, ribbon & twine are from Wal-Mart & the yummy green velvet rick rack is from Archiver's.  I finished my house off with a handmade flower growing in the yard  :>  This was such a fun card to create, I really enjoyed it and will definitely be doing more of these.  Thanks for another great challenge and have a wonderful evening from my happy home to yours,  delisa
