And the Gnomes Have It...

 These were such an ordeal for me to finish. I first starting working on them on Sunday, December 15th of last year. By 9am, I had posted a very happy picture on Instagram of how much fun I was having putting them together. It reminded me of my paper dolls when I was little. But, an hour later, I learned that my mom's cat, whom I had adopted a couple months previously, had been struck and killed just a block away. I couldn't look at these again without feeling my broken heart...

 But, finally, they are finished. I'm hoping by the time Christmas rolls around again, my bad memories will be long gone when looking at these guys... here's hoping!

The Gnome is by Simon Says Stamp, the sentiment strip by Taylored Expressions and the paper from some plaid note-cards I took apart...

Oldie Moldie Challenge...

 In one of my cardmaking groups, this past weekend, we had a challenge to use things in our stash that hadn't been used in a long while. Here's my entries...

 This one, I had had these Gina Marie Designs dies for well over a year... my bad! I used my Distress Oxides on the background and the pieces I used to die-cut the moon, clouds, sun and stars...

 This one too, is a Gina Marie Designs set...

 Then I decided to tackle a 6" x 6" pad I've had for many moons AND a stamp sentiment I have always loved. I made three of these...

As I was working on these Scrappy Backgrounds, I realized I could polish off the pad. Oh what fun that was!!! So, one weekend, ten cards... YAY!! 

I really loved the Gina Marie set with the moon, sun, stars and clouds. Which is YOUR favorite?
