Sizzix Triple Play Blog Hop Week 1

 A Miniature House and Garden Under a Cloche

The Sizzix Triple Play Blog Hop has begun!! I’m so excited!! I feel like I’ve been waiting FOREVER for this!!

It took me a while to decide what to do with my project for this week. Sooo many ideas!

Then I got to thinking about the coming winter weather. About the time the end of February comes around I’m so tired of snow and grey skies here in NE Ohio I just can’t stand it.

So I wanted to make something to remind me of Spring. Blossoms on the trees, green grass, tulips and pretty colors. Something I can set out toward the end of February in a place where I’ll pass by it often so that I can think of SPRING!! And then I remembered my blog post The Littles’ Have a Picnic and I knew I wanted to do something similar.

Here is what I did:

 

 

 

 

I arranged a couple of branches of orchids to make them look like a tree in bloom and then I raided the miniatures aisle of the craft store. I simply glued everything in place. Except the fence … I made “U” shaped pins from floral wire and used them to secure the fence to the foam.
