I got up early today and signed up for Weight Watchers (had too - no choice!), looked at Big Foot Becky's gallery so I could do the QFTD challenge, and then searched my stamps for something that spoke to me. Well given I am feeling a little chubby today (don't you hate those days), I was drawn to the good old No Place Like Gnome stamp set (mainly for the sentiment that says "I like to hang out with people who are shorter and chubbier than me"). Couldn't use that sentiment because these days, it is getting hard to find people chubbier than me - plus just who do you send a card like that to? I was trying to plan my card around the garden theme on Becky's card and it hit me that the new movie, Gnomeo and Juliet, might give me some good coloring ideas so I went to the trailers online:
Wow- she has been making shaped cards for a long time and this one is beautiful. I changed the colors and image, made it into an easel card, and added a few more layers and embellishments.

What a fun gnome card! I think it's beautiful as an easel--and your paper flower is spectacular!

Nancy, great card! Loving your flowers. I can't wait to see what that W.W. counter does with those punch points. LOL
