Build a Bear Dollhouse

So here's a project that I'm extremely proud of. I made this to enter in a contest in the Demonstrator Mag "Stampin' Success". I didn't win and having now seen the entry that did win, I'm a bit suprised. I wonder if it's because I've already won a contest in Stampin' Success, or was it some other reason? The frustrating part of this is that I will never know. Stampin' Up! doesn't answer questions regarding contest submissions. As they say in Quebec "Eh Bien, C'est la vie!"
Anyway, back to the dollhouse. I made it so that it folds down nice and small into a flat folder which is 6x6". Unfortunately I did not get a good photo of it that was in focus, so you will have to imagine it. So this is a photo of the house as it unfolds. The ribbon ties the whole thing together nicely when it's all folded up.

Above is a top view of the house. I made a kitchen, living room, and 2 bedrooms. One for each doll.

Above is the girl's room, and below is the boy's room. I used a lot of punches and sizzlits to make the furniture. The headboard is the scalloped envelope, the drawer fronts are word windows etc.

Below is the living room. The "photos" on the walls were from the build a bear stamp set. Again, I used a lot of punches. Can you spot the ornament punch in the TV?

And finally here is the kitchen. I used word windows for the taps and an oval punch for the vase. The Razzleberry Lemonade DSP was fabulous for the wallpaper and the scallop envelope made a fantastic kitchen table.

Just a note. I've been getting a lot of requests for instructions, diagrams, online class etc. So I have decided to put together a little instruction PDF file and will post it up on my blog in the next week.
