Hello Gnome

I have so many designs of things that I want to do, but then I get caught up with having to make the required cards for my DT work, family/friend birthdays/events and then that regular job that interferes with my crafting. So I was so excited today when I got a chance to make a fun card for my OWN stash. This is using mint and black some colors that I really like.  I took an image that from Pattie's Creations Party Gnomes and only used one of them. I added Glossy Accents to the heart.

Hello - Easter eggs

I actually made this card last night, but was too tired to post it believe it or not.  I have been helping my best friend with caring for her Mother and now the family has intervened and that has actually caused a lot of chaos.  Now she has her niece and daughter in law that are making drama which isn't needed.  Obviously there are people who are jealous and intimidated that need to "stir the pot".  It's just that karma is ugly.
On a positive note, Easter is hopping closer and I kept this simple.  I used some punches and dies, one stamp and some flowers.
