F. tumbling elves = Jingle Belles; current; theme is Holiday Leftovers--use your bits/scraps; the green glitter cardstock started off a leftover partial sheet that I traced and used decorative scissors; red and black behind the elves are scrap cuts that were just deep enough to give a margin backdrop for the elves

G. tumbling elves = Double Trouble; current; collaboration with IYGACAC; have something that makes you happy/cheerful; these tumbling elves...I originally thought I would just use 1 image for a small tag/gift tag size but then this idea popped into my brain cells of a vision of 3 turned in different directions to look like they're tumbling around...the card makes me smile
