Peekaboo!!!

Hi Peeps...

Just a quickie from me today... these little gnomes have certainly won my heart,  so I'm sharing another card I made with one of them - peeking through his little window!  (I do love this little window die - it makes for fabulously quick cards - and you can use just a portion of an image!)

I just think they are so perfect for this time of the year - when we're all thinking of gardening...  OK... THINKING of... not doing! hehe!

You Gnome Me.... Version 4!

 

Hi again.......

Now for a card to make you smile!!  Those sneaky little gnomes from MFT got to me again - and begged to be made into a lovely summery card - perfect for this wonderful sunny weather - yes?  Hope you're all enjoying it - I know it's a little TOO hot at the mo - I have my fan on to keep me cool - but isn't it wonderful to see blue skies!

So... here's my DT card for our new challenge at Handmade Bliss.  It's a sketch challenge this time - the sketch is below.  Of course, this little man fitted perfectly into the circle after I'd done lots of fussy cutting!

Hi Peeps....

Well there's something about this little guys that really has my heart...  you gotta love them cos they make you smile!!  And because of that,  you'll be seeing a lot of them in the near future here on my blog..

My card today was inspired by the lovely Torico - who in actual fact is the illustrator for these images for My Favourite Things (such a talented lady) - I saw a wonderful MFT DT card by her using this colouring, and although you know that normally I steer well clear of yellow... this time it really looked right with the green and turquoise.  I've used a similar design to Torico also...  (being inspired by the best of course!) - although I have put my own spin on it... hope you like!
