This week at
it's my turn to choose the challenge and I want you to "Make It CAS!". So, let's see those projects with lots of space, little layers and lacking embellishments.
This is what I did.....
Yup, this card is basically a sibling to last weeks card...despite the fact that (because work forced me to) I have indeed changed the ink cartridge in my printer. Got dies from a mix of companies on there....the sentiment is from Stamplorations, the gnome/elf is from The Cat's Pajamas and the glasses are from Taylored Expressions.
Let me tell you my friends.....if you're looking to make something more the stuff of nightmares-y, try adding googly eyes to an elf like this. It goes from sweet lil toy-making sprite to horrifying evil-plotting minion real quick. Don't believe me? Well.....
Why not give our challenge at go this week and join us? And, if you'd like more inspiration, be sure to check out what the Girlfriends have made.

Excellent Christmas card, Jan! I especially like the sparkly sentiment. Now about those buggy eyed elves...evil? Or stoned out of their Santa hat gourds? I say it looks like they had a few too many weed laced brownies. I agree, the first elf does look best (but the other versions did make me smile...pass me the brownies, please).
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Christmas card Jan and love the cute gnome in his glasses and googly eyes..

Your little gnome/elf is adorable!! I actually find him quite endearing with those googly eyes!
ReplyDeleteOMG, I'm laughing so hard, I'm CRYING!!! He reminds me of me after I have had my dilated eye exam. (Still laughing) I love your card, but definitely agree, the hat is there for a reason. Love the papers, love the gnome and that sentiment is on my list now. (Still laughing)
