Fusion - Summer

Just a quick minute of your Saturday to share a little friend of mine - you may spot him in this Fusion Summer photo, and pay particular attention to his pottery... I found the perfect Waffle Flower Craft Cutaway alphas for my RAE DUNN lettering...
 
Looks like he's hiding his popsicle.  Maybe he just doesn't want to share?
 
Inside: 
Summer not.
 
BTW Strathmore Bristol paper is the perfect Rae Dunn white!

I'm so sad to see my friend Barb Ghigliotty leaving the Fusion team … thanks for all the inspiration you've provided, Barb!
 
I may be back tomorrow!  It's amazing how much I get done between butterflies!

    The pop of color from the Popsicle he's hiding is perfect! This is adorable!

    Super cute! I like how you colored the gnome's hat and I love the little popsicle sticking out behind him. Thanks for playing over at The Fusion Card Challenge.

    Even gnomes like popsicles in the summer, right? This is adorable! I love it when you use those letters!

    I didn't even notice the gnome in the inspiration photo at first (he kinda blends into the background) because of all the colorful fruit, but glad to see you made him a stand out...he is just too cute to go unnoticed!! Great card Michele and I love the outside AND inside sentiment...only you!! :0)

    This little gnome hiding his Popsicle is darling Michele. I didn't even see the little gnome in the inspiration photo. I had to go back and look and yep! There he is! He's very good at hiding. So glad you found him and gave him center stage... it's adorable~

    What a cool summer gnome, Michele! The shading is wonderful and your die-cut sentiment does look like RAE Dunn. The popsiccle makes a pretty accent color!

    I didn't know you had that gnome die, Michele. Now I'm the one wishing for a craft day so I can borrow him.
