Today’s adorable “Thinking of You” gnome card was inspired by a Halloween card that I snagged from my Stampin’ Pretty Gallery. The card was originally shared on 10/09/2014! You can see that card on my blog post here.
MAKING A CASE – COPY AND SHARE WITH EVERYONE: “Copy” means “allow yourself to be influenced by” another paper crafter’s project. CASE-ing is a great way to be inspired! Focus on an aspect of a creation (sketch, colors, images) that you absolutely love and use it to spin something of your own.
