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 CordonConie 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.

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Using CTMH Teddy Bear Hugs Stamp & Thin Cuts with Cup of Tea

Hello Friends!  We had a couple of cool days and now the temperatures are climbing again in Southern CA.  I hope you are well and enjoying your life.  I had a filling fall out of my teeth last night, while eating dinner.  I had to have it fixed today.  I have been staying home and trying not to go out anywhere; but life happens and I find I have to take care of things. 

I was inspired by a friend, to create this cute card using this adorable CTMH Teddy Bear Hugs Stamp & Thin Cuts Z3774.  I wanted to enter this card in the 2020 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop; which looks like a lot of fun.  I decided to make this a shaker card too; adding more fun to this card.  I am in love with this adorable Teddy Bear Hugs Stamp and die set.  Plus, I have been wanting to use this gorgeous paper CTMH Bloom and Grace; but had not found anything that I felt fit with it, until  now. I love this paper and I am not a brown lover.  LOL!
