Santa's Workshop

Hello, I can't believe we are in November already! The Christmas countdown has officially begun! Christmas is my favourite time of the year. I just love to decorate my house. I always get so carried away. That brings me to today's creation. It is a project I made that was truly a labour of love. 

WARNING This is a long post with lots of pics! ;)




I have made a diorama using the new collection from The Paper Nest Dolls called North Pole, as well as some previous PND elves. 



I started with a wall hanging shelf from Kmart. I wasn't happy with the shelving sizes, so I knocked the inside shelves. I then asked my "handy" cabinet maker son to add 2 new shelves as well as the roof. I found a few items for doll house miniatures from Ebay & Doll House hobby stores. This includes the picture frame, grandfather clock, rocking horse, train & sack of reindeer feed.




For anything else I made using dies or out of Sculpey oven Clay. Wow how have I not used that stuff before!!! I absolutely love what you can do with it. So many endless possibilities. Even my daughters got in on the action. My oldest made the topiary trees & my youngest made the carrots. 



Even the door, windows, chimney, toy shelves & wallpaper border are made out of Sculpey.







On the roof level I have the Elves stacking the sleigh, using Elf Ellie with Gifts & Elf Owen.





On top level I have used Mini Mrs Clause, Mini Santa & Mini Elf from the North Pole Collection & Elf Avery with Candy Cane.




 On the middle level the Elves are hard at work making toys. I have used Elf Sewing Teddy, Elf Painting Train, Elf Avery with Christmas List & Elf with Jack-n-the-Box. I have also used Toy Soldier Owen in the background among the toys.




On the ground level I have used Mini Snowman, Mini Reindeer & North Pole Sign also from the North Pole Collection & Holiday Friends.






 These stamps can be found in digi format here & in rubber here.

Supplies:
Paper: Maja Design - I Wish "You a Happy Holiday", Graphic 45 - Twas the Night before Christmas Collection, Nutcracker Sweet Collection
Colouring Medium: Copics
Accessories: Sculpey Clay in various colours, Magnolia Doohickey Dies Volume 17, 23, Lovely Fence & Santa's Sleigh, La-La-Land Icicles Border Die, Spellbinders Holly Tags Dies, Hero Arts Snow Froth, Kmart Rectangle Wall Shelf, Vinyl Floor Boards, Straws & Ribbon & Pearls from my stash.
