I did a look up to see what 240 - 300gsm would be in American paper and it looks like it would be 89 - 111 pound cover. Here is a link to a web site that gives the comparisons: http://www.paper-garden.ca/paper_weights.php<br />And thanks for the download file for this.

When I look down any street the houses are not all the same so I would do some white and some...other colors. But then again...that is just me.

Please make them avaiable and soon, please. I would love to make a village for my mantle. I would use patterned paper and distress ink (of course) and try to make it look like an old European village. I was in Lacock (can't remember spelling) a few years ago and just fell in love with the place. That's what I would try to duplicate.ellenmcrawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01608205719275289928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251790254926657493.post-85191916679821159152010-11-24T09:53:32.919+00:002010-11-24T09:53:32.919+00:00Ooh!

I was also thinking that since you have a fair share of windows and cutouts, and the lights look so great from the inside.... wouldn't it be neat to put patterned paper or collaged stamped paper on the *inside*... would draw people right up to peep inside.Jean Franks Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05493199384148898644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251790254926657493.post-61424980752606884322010-11-24T00:54:36.210+00:002010-11-24T00:54:36.210+00:00That's so cute!

I think I like the idea of Kraft better than white (I just love Kraft paper and I think it looks great with Christmas reds and greens)- and hey! it would match your wrapping paper! :-) My second choice would be the patterned cardstock but it would depend on the patterns, I suppose. <br /><br />Well done- thanks for sharing!! :-)DragonSlayer - Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05681122439834569568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251790254926657493.post-5958871638433412172010-11-24T00:50:44.803+00:002010-11-24T00:50:44.803+00:00I think in kraft they would have a warm feel and t...I think in kraft they would have a warm feel and then I would add PP in spots, they would kinda be gingerbread like then.

I expect you will have a theme for it. If I was using clear lights to shine through I would alcohol ink some acetate for the windows so they looked like stain glass.
