gardenin' with your gnomie...

Super fun sketch over at Card Patterns...

I wanted to break open my NEW Cosmo Cricket...woot woot!!!! Okay, I should confess that I bought all the new stuff as soon as Lindsey said they were in stock over at Jacksonbelle!

Garden Variety

Material Girl

&

Joy Ride

I wanted to play with my Kitschy Digital Gnome so I teamed him up with Cosmo's Garden Variety...


If you look really close, you'll notice that this puppy {or should I type gnomie?} uses 4 different patterns from the Garden Variety 6x6'er. It is also chock full of stitching...I gotta invest in more bobbins so that I can be like Sparkle and snazz up my cards with fun colored thread:)

My kids think that garden gnomes are "creepy"...cracks me up because I think that they are so cute! This is going to one of my co-workers because she likes to garden...me?...not so much...I'm a certified black thumb....seriously.

Okay, remember to come on back tomorrow...I'll have my own 365 Cards sketch for the day along with my take on it...I hope that you'll play along:)

You don't need more bobbins, the bottom thread usually doesn't show through the paper. That being said in the amount of time I spend thinking about changing out the thread on my machine I could've sewn up 10 cards, lol!

This one's super cute. I love gnomes!

I deeply encourage the promotion of lawn gnomes in any way possible. The more they are out in the light the less trouble they get into.

Very, very cute.

OOF! i was going to say what laura said about the bobbins...which i learned from gina, actually...just go with one neutral bobbin and change out the top thread to match your projects! (seriously, the inside of MOST cards is white anyway, and then the stitching disappears on the inside & shows up on the outside--it's excellent!) :)

speaking of excellent, i LOVE your "gnomie"--he's perfect for the sketch, and perfectly accompanied with all that FAB new cosmo goodness! ♥

Very cute, Amy! I like gnomes too. I always forget to sticht on my cards. I dont' have enough room for both machine and all my craft stuff so I guess it gets forgotten. :D

Such a cute Gnome! Love your card, the bright colors are fab together! The other day Hubby was joking that he was going to start collecting gnomes to go in the yard this year. I said "no way". He knows they creep me out too! So your card brought a smile to my face!
