Gnome Girls

 When we went on vacation to Montana this past September I saw these stickers that were gnome girls, I don't always see gnome girls and I thought they might be cute for girl cards, so I picked them up. I have been waiting to post until I had looked through my pictures to see what I might like to post of the trip with them and I looked at a few so far and decided to post a few with the card.


  • Dover Publications - Garden Gnome stickers
  • Carta Bella - Alphabet Junction Papers
  • Spellbinders - Labels 23 dies
  • Sentiment from a papercraft magazine
  • Confetti is left overs from die cuts


Now onto Montana pictures, like I said these are from late September, I think I will have more but I have more cards I made from things picked up on the trip so I will post more pictures then.

I am starting off with a drive along Spearfish Canyon in this first photo when you come around this bend there is a pull off and we didn't realize at first that we would be able to see Mount Rushmore from it, neat surprise :) Can you make out their faces?





We really enjoyed this walk they had a long the river.







I thought this was a cool look to this last plant, like how it curls in all direction, it made me wonder what it looked like in the summer time or when it was in full bloom before Autumn time hit it, let me know if you recognize it.


Well that is all for now,
Praying for all those effected once again by these terrible fires out west, and hope all stay safe from here south who are getting more snow/ice once again, we had just finally finished getting all the ice off our walks and driveway and now we have another 3 inches to take care of, that will probably feel so much easier after the last ice/snow we had to deal with :)

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Connie

Oh, they're adorable and such a happy card! You chose the perfect papers for them, along with your scalloped die. Lots of fun! Thank you so much for sharing your Montana pictures! I always love to see the great outdoors in different areas of our country. This is relatively close to home as we've traveled most parts of the west. I want to go and just sit and take it all in. You had a good view of Mt. Rushmore. I can see their faces just fine. Yes, what a surprise! I can't say what the curly plant is. It looks familiar. Interesting in all seasons!

Connie, your Gnome Girls card is absolutely adorable! The stickers you found in Montana are so unique and perfect for girl cards. I love how you paired them with the Carta Bella Alphabet Junction Papers and the Spellbinders Labels 23 dies. The confetti adds such a fun touch! Your Montana trip photos are stunning, especially the surprise view of Mount Rushmore.

I don't think I've ever seen girly gnomes. =) This is a sweet card, Connie. Your trip to Montana seems to have been magical. How amazing to see Mt Rushmore from afar. That certainly would've been a highlight.

What a lovely and thoughtful post! The gnome girls are adorable, and it's great to see how your trip photos connect with your crafting. The Spearfish Canyon view with Mount Rushmore is such a nice surprise! I hope you’re staying safe with the weather too. I just shared a new post; let me know what you think. Have a lovely weekend ahead.
