Love Card Using Conie Fong Gnome With Round Balloon Mini Slimline

Hello Friends!  It warmed up a little bit here in Southern CA.  I actually managed to ride my bike outside for 20 min yesterday; before I was sick from the smells.  Firewood burning, dryer smells, car exhaust, cigarette smoke, marijuana smoke, food cooking, etc. This was at 9 in the morning.  There were lots of people out walking as well; which is unusual.  I may have to start using my indoor bike again; but I really miss being outside.  

My sister called a few days ago, to let me know that my Aunt Patty had passed away Dec 21, 2021.  They found her two days after she died; since she lived alone.  My mother and my mother's mother both were pregnant at the same time; so Patty and I were born in the same month, same year.  It was hard to imagine her as my aunt when she was the same age as me.  LOL!  I am grateful we were able to see each other about 5 yrs ago.  We rarely saw each other after we were grown up; but we kept in touch.  We will miss her so much.  It is so sad.  I don't know what she died from; but I know it was too soon.  She was a light in everyone's life.  Patty was always happy and smiling all the time.  I never saw her down.  She leaves behind one daughter and lots of extended family.

I managed to create a mini slimline card using Conie Fong "Gnome With Balloon Bundle" which is a bundle of 4 images and 5 sentiments.  It is so adorable.  I love all the Gnomes that Conie Fong creates.  I didn't like the background when I started; but I was determined to use the cloud shape stencil I have had for a long time; and had not used.  This is the round balloon and there is also one without the grass; as well as a heart balloon with and without the grass.  There are many options with this cute little Gnome.
