Welcome to North Coast Creations' September Release!

Good Monday morning and welcome to North Coast Creations' September Release!  We have some wonderful projects to share including a bit of whimsy (gnomes) and a bit of sweet (gingerbread). And the best part?  No calories in this gingerbread!  Doesn't make my expanding waistline budge a bit!  :-)

Don't forget you can win a prize too!  Just for commenting on our posts, you have a chance to win a $10 North Coast Creations Gift Certificate, good towards the purchase of NCC Stamps.  You have until September 17, 2014 at 10:00 PM EDT to leave a comment on the North Coast Creations blog or the participating designers' blog for your chance to win.  Two random winners will be selected from the comments received and will be announced on the NCC Blog on September 18, 2014.  So be sure to check back there to see if you have won! 

Now let's dive into my projects for the day.  First a bit of whimsy with Gnome What?


I colored my image and created a photo panel.  I then stamped my gnome and colored him as desired.  After hand cutting the little fellow I placed him with dimensional foam and a friendly Kraft sentiment banner.  Isn't he mischievous looking?

Here's the set I used...


Now if that isn't enough to make you laugh out loud...  just look at this darling gingerbread house stamp...



I swear I can smell the gingerbread baking!  I colored all of my gumdrops, peppermints and assorted candies before adding a layer of glitter glue on the roof.  (Makes me think it is real snow glittering in the morning sun...)  If this image doesn't put you in the mood to start on your Christmas cards...  NOTHING will!  


and a couple of dies I used from our sister company 



Now don't forget to visit all of my fellow "Coasters" and comment on their projects!  You might just win a prize for your efforts!  Thanks again for stopping by!

Truly love me cards, however that gnome has my heart. I love the cloud background that you did I would like to know if this was a stencil or how you created those clouds. Great job!
