Let's Trim the Tree for Challenge #61

 I'm here to Trim the Tree for Challenge #61 - From My Gnome To Yours!

I had oodles of fun playing along with my buddy Gail for this challenge.

 

We're both thrilled that so many of you decided to join the fun! Your cards are all simply gorgeous and it was great to see such a variety of fabulous gnomes in our gallery!

Choosing a Winner and Top Picks was never going to be easy after such a feast of gnomeliciosness, but we've done our best...

Top Picks

Cornelia #7

We love it that Cornelia has given her gnome a home!

Helen #19

Helen's beautifully coloured little crew look fabulous against that kraft background.

Bonnie #25

And Bonnie even thought to mount her gnome 

on an action wobbler thingy so he waves his sign!

Christmas Kickstart Challenge #61 Reminder

 

Welcome back! It's reminder time for Challenge #61 here at Christmas Kickstart! This month I'm delighted to be joined once again by my buddy Gail AKA Crafty Nomad. BTW, it's Gail's birthday on April 22nd, so why not drop by at her blog and leave her some love!

Our theme for April is:

Challenge #61 - From My Gnome to Yours!

Here's Gail's quirky, cute take on the theme. You can find the details on her blog here. 

Here's my 'Inspired by...' creation. I liked that Gail had made her gnome take centre stage on her card, so I did the same.

I paper-pieced his hat from a tiny snippet of Christmas paper and added a second beard and body over the top of the first to give depth. He's doing a little 'jazz hands' for us.

I hope you like the sweet little gnome guy that Rudolph has chosen as our Random Raffle prize for this month. Anyone who enters and has followed the guidelines will be eligible to go into the drawer to win this little cutie.

Here's Gail's take on the theme - isn't he fun? I love how CAS her card is and her minimal colouring is perfect for this little guy. You can find the details on her blog here. 

Here's my gnome. Isn't he adorbs? You can find all the details on my blog.
