"house warming" seems redundant at this time of year!

nevertheless our very dear friends are not only buying their first home, they are moving back into the area after several years away, and such splendid occasions need to be marked with a pretty cool card!  


(patterned paper: webster's pages, cosmo cricket; chipboard heart: studio 18; crinkly ribbon: pixie dust paperie; key charm and ink: prima; die cut bird: the girls' paperie; adhesives: tombow monorunner, 3m foam tape, sewing machine, needle and thread) 

believe it or not, all but the background paper came from the same sheet of webster's pages' called "love and dreams" which i confess to buying specifically in order to use that sweet little house on this particular card! by cutting into three different sections from the front, and another bit from the back and was able to have everything coordinate perfectly without ANY thought at all, gotta love that, right? further helping quicken the card-making process was this gorgeous sketch from mojo monday, which i followed EXACTLY, because let's face it, it's pretty PERFECT:


and now i hope all of the "love and dreams" from the paper will be transferred to our friends, the rojas family, in their new home!!!
