I changed up the original kit a bit, turned the front door into a window and added a chimney (egg-carton, on a foam core base). Also added a bay on the back. The stone-work on the house is egg-carton also (contest builds are great ways to use all the egg-carton I accumulate!). The shingles are wood scraps from all those left-over die-cut sheets that I have, from building so many houses! I made the diamond-paned windows from embroidery thread and Gallery Glass paint, using a method that I developed and posted in my blog:

One of the story illustrations shows Frog and Toad riding a bicycle-built-for-two; I made this one from mat board, cardstock, toothpicks and sewing pins, with paperclay tires.
