Yeah!!! I'm so looking forward to this week!! We're highlighting Melyssa Connoly (croppixie @ SCS). Melyssa is the brains behind Whimsie Doodles (a fantastic site for the cutest digis around) and many of us girls at There She Goes are lucky enough to work with her illustrations with her line of stamps there as well.
Because we’re featuring Melyssa I HAD to use one of my Whimsie Doodle images from the people section of the website.. (If you love gnomes she has lots of cute ones!!)

Here’s my card:


Isn’t he adorable??!! I am not a gnome person around the home, but I sure love to colour them! I paired him with some My Mind’s Eye papers and a couple die cuts (large circle is a Spellbinders and the smaller one is Memory Box) and the button in the center is Basic Grey. I also made this work with today's Free For All Challenge: use two or more patterned papers.. Check it out here.

Here’s the sketch:
