End of Year Special! | Verde Sal

Hey everyone, it's Verde Sal here. Because 2016 is coming to end, I have decided to make a special post. Today I have two new igloos, and a video. First, I have a Chuck E. Cheese's (or arcade + pizza restaurant). Take a look:

Santa's Room igloo by 9snoopy9 | Winter Igloo Showcase

Santa's Room igloo by 9snoopy9!

This igloo includes :

• Presents Train
• Christmas Tree
• Santas Chair

For this Winter Igloo Showcase igloo, 9snoopy9 has created Sanata's Room which is described as a place for him to relax before handing out presents across the globe. I really like the concept here. To improve, I think some reindeers would be nice outside and perhaps some walls to create a lodge type building front.

Winter House in the Mountains | Allsmiles

Hi, hello, long time no post (oops). I'm back and posting, presumably for the winter break time being :)

So, as you can probably tell, I've made a winter house in the mountains:

This Igloo Includes:

• A two-storey house
• Snowy yard & small flower gardens
• Little icy areas off to the sides
• Various trees and nature items

I hope you all like this igloo! Feel free to leave any suggestions/critiques/opinions in a comment, I'd find that very helpful! I do also plan on posting at least one new igloo by the end of next week, so keep an eye out for that. (And apologies for being inactive)

Outdoor Christmas Mall by Verde Sal

Hey everyone, it's Verde Sal here. Today I have a new holiday igloo, an Outdoor Christmas Mall. Take a look:

Outdoor Christmas Mall by Verde Sal

This igloo features:
-Giant Christmas tree
-4 shops
-Coins for Change donation
-Take your picture with Santa Claus!

I would have loved an extra 10-15 items to add more detail to this igloo (more detail on the shops, some presents or something under the tree, etc), but I ran out of item space rather quickly. If you have any suggestions for this igloo (maybe some ways I could save item space), please tell me in the comments below, and leave a rating out of /10.

Here is an updated version, after using some advice from Harry:

Outdoor Christmas Mall by Verde Sal

I switched the flooring to Wooden Walks, which gave me a little more item space. I also added windows to the lower shops, clothes racks to the upper shops, and some presents under the tree. If you would like to have your own winter or holiday themed igloo featured, enter the Winter Igloo Showcase. Find out more here. Until later, peace,

Ice Skating igloo by Harry Cp!

This igloo includes :

• Ice Hockey
• Ice Skating
• Spectator Benches
• Coffee Shop
• Ice Skates Rack

This is the nineteenth igloo in my Igloo Remakes series and also another edition to the Winter Igloo Showcase. I've seen many Ice Rink igloos on this blog and they're all quite good. Mine is slightly different though as it takes place indoors. I also wanted to created 2 rinks so the venue is multi-functional!

Bakery Shop by RaceAgains

Hey everyone! I'm back with a new igloo and well as you can see it's a bakery.  

I really enjoyed creating this bakery, because I got some inspiration from my own Starbucks igloo. I'm so excited for Christmas so that means I'll be spamming winter/Christmas igloos. Anyway, please leave any suggestions for improving. 

Hidden Lake igloo | Harry Cp

Hidden Lake igloo by Harry Cp!

This igloo includes :

• Lake
• Caves
• Birdboxes
• Wishing Well
• Boat

It's been a while since I've made a full on outdoor/nature igloo and I had the idea of doing a Hidden Lake -- this is the result! The Lake is hidden by high grass and rocks but is accessible by entering the caves and exiting through the other side.  With this igloo, I used the birdbox items which I haven't used before. It was pretty neat trying to incorporate these.

An edited version is coming soon for the Winter Igloo Showcase.

Coins For Change igloo by Cutiepie813 | Winter Igloo Showcase

Coins For Change igloo by Cutiepie813!

This igloo includes :

• Fund Raising Platform
• Homes
• Donation Stand 
• Coins For Change Offices

For the next Winter Igloo Showcase igloo, fellow author Cutiepie813 has made a "Coins For Change" igloo. I really like the platform which is perfect for speeches. In Addition, I love the use of the stone flooring to create paths. Good job!

Santa's Workshop igloo by Jess0426 | Winter Igloo Showcase

Santa's Workshop igloo by Jess0426!

This igloo includes :

• Santa's Office
• Toy Workshop
• Christmas Treats Kitchen

For the second Winter Igloo Showcase igloo, Jess0436 has "Santa's Workshop". I like how there are many different sections each with their own little details. To improve, I would use more of a colour scheme and the same flooring through out (perhaps the Wooden Walk).

Winter Garden igloo by Harry7793 | Winter Igloo Showcase

Winter Garden igloo by Harry7793!

This igloo includes :

• Sledge Hill
• Cabin
• River
• Wishing Well

For the first Winter Igloo Showcase igloo, Harry7793 has made what he calls "a mixture between a private property and a wilderness during the winter" or a Winter Garden for short 😉. I like the sledging section in the left and the areas of a green to compliment the snow/ice. To improve, I would add some more details in the areas just above the river, perhaps more greenery?

WINTER IGLOO SHOWCASE [ENTRIES]

This December, the Winter Igloo Showcase is back!! Remember this is NOT a contest so there will be no winner, this is about dislaying your creations! You can make whatever igloo you want, as long as it is related to Winter or Christmas. The best igloos will be displayed in the lead up to Christmas to get into the festive spirit.

This is a great opportunity to get creative and get featured on the blog! There are a few changed this year in comparison to last year. Firstly, there is no due date, once you have finished your igloo, it may be posted on the same day -- just make sure that the igloo is finished before December 25th. Also, igloos found on Cp will be featured if there is a winter theme, so that as many igloos as possible can be featured.

Here are some possible igloo ideas :
