I forgot about the tabs on paper dolls scrapnnana . A removable tape runner would have been super handy for temporarily adhering the clothes to my paper dolls. I'd like to make a gnome reminiscent of the ones in the Gnomes book by Wil Huygen that I was obsessed with as a kid. My brother loved it, too - it would be fun to send him a gnome card for his birthday. My gnome would need a straight hat like those Dutch gnomes, though. Too bad they didn’t have the removable tape runner when we were kids. You’re right. It would have been perfect. A straight hat should be easy to make, though, for the Dutch gnome. If you do make a Dutch gnome, please show us how it turned out. I was browsing Pinterest for generic card inspiration and a gnome card popped up. I do have the basic Jaded Blossom gnome set, and the cowboy set, but so far have resisted the temptation to buy a bunch more. After seeing the one gnome card, of course, I went and looked at the wide variety of cards made with the Jaded Blossom gnomes and their accessories. The temptation to spend a fortune on those accessories is now really, really overwhelming after seeing all the cute cards there. I need to dig through dies that I’ve already got on hand from other companies to see if I can use some of them with the Jaded Blossom gnomes, before I go on a gnome accessory spending spree. |

These guys are so needy! They have been begging me to pull out the sports stuff. Took me over an hour to cut the pieces for a hockey player and a golfer and assemble the hockey player. I used a circle die for his head. Posting a pic in a sec. Hoping to get this guy on a page tomorrow.
The golfer is still in pieces in the dish on my counter. He needs to go on a birthday card for my ds.

Here's my hockey player. Cut his body twice, in blue & green. I needed to engineer his green legs & feet into sleeves so he could have arms (not needed if I was using the bearded gnome, but this is for a 10 year old.
And OMG! Now they want a motorcycle! And how can I argue with them? (My ds rebuilt a street bike to ride to work spring/summer/fall and his kids each have a small dirt bike, so they spend some weekends on biking adventures) |

grammadee your little hockey dude is so cute!! Looks like it was a lot of engineering but you made it work so well. And yes, I wondered if your gnomies might need a motorbike too  They're very needy.

Here's my golfer. More engineering, using the shorts for sleeves. The good news about the Motorcycle set: it looks like that one includes SLEEVES!  Happy 44 by Gramma Dee, on Flickr Gotta change the hands but will do that later. |

grammadee, those little sport gnomes are super cute and creative! I can understand why you can’t resist giving them what they want.
