Gnomes they are adorable!

Good morning readers!  Today's card is my attempt at minamizing my card techniques.  (I'm attempting to make a card with minimal stuff).  I don't know about you but I find that my cards look really different on "film" then in person.  So when I made this card I had to step away and snap a photo to see if I was ok with the result.  Today's card was made using a new series of stamps from Whiff of Joy.  They are Gnomes!!  And here I was calling them elves!!  Well they are adorable and I love colouring them.  Come to think of it Whiff of Joy now has images that are touching and sweet to whimsical and cute.  I'm so glad my "job" is playing with these stamps!

Snowflake mania

Goodmorning everyone!  Today is going to be a great day!  Why?  Well when it starts off with your husband asking where your 50% coupon for Micaels well I don't think it gets any better than this!!  Well maybe if I had 2 coupons!  So I'll just patiently await my new large snowflake punch and keeping my fingers crossed that he finds someone who will help find what I want.....Sigh!
So if all goes well I will have another snowflake to my collection!    Here are some cards I made using digi stamps from Whimsie Doodles and yep they all have snowflakes on them!!

WOJ Sneak Peek

Oh the cutest new designs for Whiff of Joy are coming Oct 31st.  If you love little elves and their whimsical charm your gonna love the new rubber stamps.
I thought I'd dig out my Prisma colouring and Gamsol for this card.  I stamped the image on Kraft cardstock and attached it to a Kraft card.  See I was trying to make a card using as little "supplies" as I could. 

The sentiment is from Lizzie Anne Designs it says "There's no place like home for the holidays".
