Keep calm gnome matter what

These are my new gnome stamps I got at Joann's.com when they had a free shipping sale last week. 2 of these gnomes are kind of "grumpy" but I decided to make this card with all 3 anyway. LOL

Cruisin' by to say Happy Birthday

I wish this was me with my hair blowing in the wind as I drive down the street in my VW bug (I have always wanted one!)  Only we are still trying to stay at home as much as we can since NC is only in Phase 2. I feel like we will never go into the next phase!!!  We did manage to go to Costco and pick up some things yesterday. We had our masks on, as did everyone else around us.

Cut It Up Challenge #206 - Shaped Card

This week at Cut It Up, our challenge is a shaped card. For mine, I used one of my favorite Bugaboo images and I cut him out and he opens at the top. I added teeny tiny heart die cuts to his swim shorts - since we have to use die cuts for our challenges. He looks pretty cool, don't you think? I know exactly who I am going to send this to :).

I can't wait to see what you create for this challenge and don't forget, to use a die cut or two.

I'm also entering this in the following challenges:

CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #382 Colors

I'm excited to be picked as the Guest Designer for the month of August at CAS Colours & Sketches. They are doing a color challenge this week (see below). I love this color combo and I could not wait to dig out my new gnome die and color him in different colors. For my colors, I chose all copic colors - Blush R20, Willow G24, Light Prawn R22. I used 2 shades of gray on his beard C1, C3 and his nose is E00.
