Can you hear the Christmas music?

I'm beginning to make Christmas village houses in August. A little early you might say, but it is keeping me out of the sweltering heat of Minnesota and giving me a boost up on getting my products ready for my November craft fair. I used to make them with Tim Holtz steel dies but have now discovered the convenience of the Cameo Silhouette 3 machine. I'm tired of lining little pieces of paper up on a die and having to do that several times for just one house. The Silhouette lets me automate that process so I can get to the fun part of constructing and decorating the houses quicker. Using the Silhouette software, I'm also designing my own houses which adds to the fun of it.
