But I cheated...sort of. I didn't use all those l stained before. I decided I wanted I asphalt shingles so I cut shingle strips from sand paper. After gluing them on I dry brushed stain over them to add some color.
April, I cut strips of sandpaper with my paper cutter and then cut notches with scissors. I used cheap sandpaper from Dollar Tree and it didn't seem to be to hard on my paper cutter blade.
I've been happily married for 33 years to my high school sweetheart and we have three great kids. All are young adults. I'm currently working part time as an instructional assistant at the local elementary school. My mini life is especially important to me because it takes me away (better than a bubble bath!) from the stresses of real life. I've been involved with mini-ing since the late 1980s with a break for about 10 years while my children were young.
My faith and my family are very important to me. I am so thankful that God blessed me with the gift of creativity!

What do you use to cut the sandpaper. I want to do that with my willowcrest roof but am worried about the sandpaper tearing up a blade.
I really like how it turned out and the stain adds some nice depth
Thank you!

Thanks De! I will definitely give this a try now.
looks fantastic De- I like the way that it matches the brown shades in the stonework. This is a very beautiful house ♥
