it's Doni's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "Fantasy!" which means she wants to see those fantastical creatures or beings...so think dragons, fairies, a mom who's not tired, mermaids or.....
....gnomes! Because gnomes are super cool! These guys, the fence and the sentiment are all from The Cat's Pajamas. I do love their stamps. Super cute and high quality.
It's been awhile since I made a card like this (kinda a reverse frame card)....I used to make them quite a bit. I did still have a bit of a struggle getting it together, I ended up using a few different papers from different manufacturers but I think it worked out okay in the end. So, it's not like the mojo is back yet, still being elusive but definitely in the vicinity....maybe it's peeking 'round the corner of my computer/craft room from time to time.
Why don't you give our challenge a go this week and head on over to Little Red Wagon and link up? And, while you're there, be sure to check out the fabulous projects the other Girlfriends have created.
