Sonia made a House shaped DIY storage organizer using chipboard and  Graphic 45 papers and used the gorgeous Prima Dome and Prima Typo Bulb as focal embellishments.The draws fit inside the house and are designed to hold different sizes of embossing folders. The roof of the house also lifts up to store more crafty paraphernalia!

Cathie created a whimsical happy home scene to represent the fun that constantly takes place in her home with her large family. The house was created from the Artful Dwellings die set and the background scene was painted with several Dina Wakley Heavy Body Acrylic Paints and stamped with the PaperArtsy EKC 02 and Jofy 15 stamp sets.

Emma felt there was no place like home and created a project celebrating her home town of London. She used an Etcetera Tag as the base, covered with papers from the Correspondence Paper Stash and added a Paper Doll standing against the globe.

Lols was inspired to make a home away from home on the shores of the Indian Ocean using shells collected on a beach just south of Goa. She used a Tim Holtz Village Dwelling and Surf Shack to create the base and then had fun putting it all together.

Macarena made a canvas being inspired by house renovation she uses to make on Springtime. She used Bigz Pipeline Die by Tim Holtz and Sizzix and some Distress Oxide Inks to give the color to the background and put them also through Grid Stencil.
