Happy Birthday from the Gnomies!

 

Gnomes seem to be popping up everywhere lately & this smiley crew are from SheepSki Designs. This was one of 3 images I won on their FB page challenge last month. Andrea has some wonderful images which you can check out here. 

This is the first time I have made a "swing" card & it gave me a headache!😂 The instructions were simple enough but I'm not the most patient person when it comes to measuring accurately & that's a big mistake when making these cards....I had to do some creative "cutting". I will definitely know better next time! I made this card for my SIL who loves gnomes & the colour blue. It's coloured with copic markers & the balloons are coated with glossy accents. The papers are Recollections.

Thanks for taking a look. Stay safe!

Hugs, Renee

Have a "Ducky" Day

 

This cutie & her duck friends are from All Dressed Up digital stamps & I couldn't resist using the sentiment "Hope your birthday is just ducky" on the inside of it. She is coloured with copic markers with a little bit of sparkle added to her umbrella with Diamond Stickles. The floral DP is from Doodlebug Designs but the yellow & white polka dot is from my scrap bucket so I don't know where it's from. The flowers are Sissix dies with little heart centers that are from a Martha Stewart punch.

 Here in Manitoba we were doing so well with COVID cases but then let our guard down & now our numbers are going crazy. Well, crazy compared to what they were. We had 43 new cases today.....until the beginning of September we were only getting a couple of cases a day. Thank goodness for crafting because it's going to be a LONG winter. We usually go somewhere warm for a few months in the winter but that is not an option this year.  Stay safe out there!
