Our House

So, it has taken awhile, but I think our house is finally done. I tried to keep the basics of our house true, but make it a bit more playful. I have done other paper collages before, but this is the first time I have done a mixed medium collage. It is mostly paper, but I did do some painting too and I also used words this time (I printed poems and verse on the paper used for the house and then painted over it in white). I think that this is something I would like to experiment with more in the future...It is fun to see our children get inspired by the things that they see us doing. Yesterday, while I was working on the house, Regan decided she wanted to make her own house too. It is still a work in progress, so I will have to post a picture of it later, but she is doing an excellent job!

Here are some other paper collages I have made. The first one is a project that we did in MOPS this year (I was the craft coordinator for our group). It is supposed to be a magnetic message board, but how can I cover up those cute birdies with scraps of paper and magnets? I think I will hang in the hall with all my other collages. (sorry for the crooked pictures).This is the first tree I did a couple of years ago. Recently I did another one for a friend to put in her babies room, I don't have a picture of that one thought.
Recently I have seen mushrooms popping up everywhere. I just got some really cute scrapbook paper with mushrooms all over it. You just might see some mushrooms popping up in my next project(s) :)
