Hi! Thanks for joining us for a team hop where our Paper Adventures team get together on a Friday night once a month and create projects with a shared theme. Today it’s a fabulous sketch and we’re lucky to be joined by Gail Ellis from Blue Rose Paper Treasures as our guest designer.
This fun sketch was designed by Narelle. I’m so excited to see what the team does with it. I’m either incredibly literal with sketches (for this one think holly, circle and rectangle) or I run away on a complete tangent!
Today’s creation is a little liberal with the circle turning into a square and the holly becoming a gnome.
I had an idea when I saw this sketch where the gnome was peeking out from behind a present with a tag saying “no peeking”.
How cute is the ruffles of the bow from the Gift Wrapped stamp set? I’ve paired it with Heartwarming Hugs DSP.
The tag is from the Little Treat Box Dies – such a cute little size with gorgeous stitched detail. And you’ll recognise the gnome peeking out from the Gnome for the Holidays stamp set. I had to hunt a little for the sentiment – I knew I had a ‘no peeking’ somewhere and found it in the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set.
There’s lots more of the team to share their creations if you keep clicking on the ‘next’ links to each blog until you get back to where you started. The full list of participants is below.
From here, you are visiting our amazingly talented guest designer Gail Ellis.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend filled with all the things that make you happy!

Well you’re quite the sketch rebel, with your circle becoming a square! I just adore Mr Gnome peeking out from the present. So adorable. And that bow is such a cute touch. Love it!! 🙂 Siobhan.
I love your take on the sketch, it’s absolutely adorable!
This card captures the excitement and anticipation of Christmas perfectly-everyone loves a surprise present under the tree!
I love this cute little gnome with that bow! Great choice of colours too. Mandy x
