Christmas Card Mini Slimline Using Conie Fong "Christmas Gnomes Bundle"

Hello Friends!  We made it through another year.  I am so glad that 2020 is over.  I feel so sad for all the people who lost loved ones this past year; whether it was through COVID-19 or other life causes.  It has been a rough year for many people and the losses have been tough.  Not only the loss of loved ones; but loss of job, loss of home, etc.  My thoughts and prayers are with all of you who have lost someone, a job, a home or anything/anyone this past year.  

I pray that 2021 will be a better year for all of us.  It has been hard for me and I know for many of you, who have had to stay at home for the past year.  I am high risk; so I have not been out much at all.  I stopped walking and riding my bike outside; due to so many people not wearing masks.  It is too dangerous for me to be out when people clearly don't care about their own health or the health of others.

It looks like we are going to have another very long year with more of the same.  It would be shorter if everyone did what they were supposed to do, wearing masks, social distancing, not having parties, family gatherings, etc. 

I created several Christmas cards in December; but have not had time to post all of them.  This is another one I created, using Conie Fong "Christmas Gnomes".  I am in love with these sweet images.  I also love these new Mini Slimline cards.

Christmas Shaker Ornaments Using Conie Fong Christmas Gnomes and Santa's Sack Christmas Accessories

Hello Friends!  I hope all of you are staying healthy, wearing your masks and surviving this world crisis.  It is very stressful for all of us.  I know there are many countries shutting things down again; due to the huge increase of cases.  I am so very sorry for everyone that is going through this stuff.  My thoughts and prayers are with all of us; as we walk this path of the unknown.

I gave my daughter and her two of her kids CTMH Christmas Shaker Ornaments last year and they loved them. I decided to challenge myself and create Christmas Ornaments from scratch, no kits.  My daughter's family love Gnomes and I had to have very small ones to use on my ornaments; so the easiest way to make these, was to use digital stamps.  It was a big challenge to color them; but I managed to do the best that I could. I had a lot of challenges with cutting the acetate alternative so I had to do it by hand.  

I love how they turned out.  I used two tag dies from CTMH that have retired.  They were the perfect size for my Christmas Shaker Ornaments.  If I had the energy, I would create more for myself and other family members; but I am not sure I am up to it.   Thanks so much to Nelida Cordon, Conie Fong DT, as she was my inspiration to create these.  She created 3 ornaments with the Gnomes and posted them on Conie Fong Facebook Group in the November Monthly Challenge.  

The ornaments are around 4 inches tall from top to bottom. The Gnomes are 2.5 inches up to 2.75 inches.  Very tiny.  LOL!  I would never dare color a lady image that small.
