Hello! Thank you for stopping by. The latest challenge is up and ready for you at Just Us Girls. This week is a mood board. I am having so much fun with this Guest spot and am very grateful, but I struggled with this mood board. I didn't know what the heck I was going to do with it. I vacillated a lot and I hope you like what I ended up with.
I went more with the colors than the images - but the overall picture of the images strike me as whimsical, non-traditional Christmas and just SO MUCH FUN! My card features these gnomes that I got from an unbranded store. Before I made the purchase I did my due diligence to find if "they" copied from a small business. I couldn't find them anywhere.
The sentiment is from a tag that is included in the paper pad. The present he's standing on is a die from Tonic Studios. But look at that little guy on the right, his mug! Eeek!! It's so cute. I die cut the mug carefully from the patterned paper in the same pad. Then using a die that I'm not really sure what it's actually for was perfect to make the teeny-tiny candy cane in that mug of hot cocoa. I was going to do a marshmallow, too, but decided against it.
I do hope you'll join in the fun at Just Us Girls.

Such a darling card, Melissa! Love that each gnome has something different in their hands. Although the middle gnome looks like he is a handful!
