Gimmie Some Peppermints

Hi Crafty Friends,
I was inspired by Jaded Blossom's February Challenge Stencil. For this cute peppermint/candy cane gnome card. I stenciled the background with Jaded Blossom Peppermint Stencil and added the Jaded Blossom Peppermint Candy die in the corner. The little gnome is Jaded Blossom Gnome Dies with Jaded Blossom Christmas Add-On 1 Dies. The sweet sentiment is Jaded Blossom Gnome Baked Stamp Set. The background dies are Jaded Blossom Scallop Rectangles. I decided to go with peppermints for Christmas Kickstart Challenge #107 A Christmas Sing Along with Owl City Peppermint Winter.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What is your favorite non-traditional Christmas Song?
A: Me? The one I mentioned above Peppermint Winter
