Every year for Christmas I love to give ornaments to my family as one of their gifts I give.  In the past I have made them or bought them if I seen something that is just too cute to pass up.  This year is no different.  I was actually inspired by a friend who made them for a project at work and decided that these are exactly what I wanted to do this year for my family.

 This year I did a set for each of my gifts.  Each set contained a House and a Church.

The little chipboard Structures were purchased at my local Michael's.  To Decorate them, I used modpodge and various glitters from Tim Holtz, Stampin' Up, and Martha Stewart.  

 I punched out a heart out of Stampin Up Glitter paper and adhered to the right of the door.  The little bell was glued on with a hot glue gun.  I used my printer to print up "Joy to the world" and I glued it around the cording with the hot glue gun.

Just a different look at the Church.  

 For the little house I also used various glitter and modpodge.  Then I punched out the heart out of Stampin' Up Glitter Paper and printed the "Merry Christmas" on my computer and adhered with hot glue to the cording of the ornament.

I signed the bottom of each piece with my initials and the year just as a reference for years to come.
