[nonnie]

ooo Colleen this is AMAZING!!!! I am so doing this!!!

Quick question - what kind of paper did you use?
and What size did you print out?

 

[ColleenSwerb]

Thanks guys! I'm so glad you liked it!

I got the house at Michael's an embarassingly long time ago, lol. But they always have stuff like this for the different holidays. You can do it for ANY sort of house.

I have an Epson printer, so I always use Epson paper. I use their 4 star Premium Presentation Matte Paper, but you could use any cardstock weight sort of paper. Copy paper won't work because it's too flimsy is all.

I put a ruler up against the house and eye-balled it for size. I probably could have gone bigger, but it's all preference. 1 tree fit on 1 sheet of letter sized paper. To make the most out of my printing, I filled in the empty space with other bits, like the crows, the moons, the clouds, the bats, and a bunch of other stuff you'll see in Part 2.
