A Gnomie Thank you and Welcome to my Gnome Garden!

I needed a Thank you Card for some recent blog candy that I won and decided to go with a cutie gnome:





Easel Card
Gnome from Freshly Picked Cricut Cartridge
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder Bloom Dots
A Muse Studio Ribbon Cherry Ribbon
Flocking for her hair
Mushroom brad from Eyelet Outlet
Spellbinders Labels Two
Thank you stamp wood mounted
Flowers inked
Peachy Keen PK-560

We have been very unsuccessful over the years trying to have a garden in Arizona! It is just too hot! So about  2 years ago my girls and I started creating our gnome garden. We take care of it just like a regular garden! 

I have caught many people stopping to take photos and little kids sitting on my sidewalk starring at our gnomes!
