My first card today is for both the MFP Blog Hop and the CCEE stampers challenge. I am the CCEE challenge hostess for the month of July and asked the team to make a card using two different border punches on their cards.
This little garden gnome is adorable, don't you think?
I may be stretching the definition of "clean and simple" on my second card.
Although there is a lot of "white" space, it wasn't so simple to make. I did cut out the frog and pop him up on those mushrooms -- adding the googlie eyes. The butterfly was stamped twice, once on the card and once on a piece of scrap paper. I cut out the second butterfly and popped him on top of the the first one. Both of my cards also included images from another MFP set called Scenic Selections -- the birds in the first card and the rock and grass in the second one.
Be sure to check out the following blogs and comment for a chance to win a free stamp set.

Cute cards. They made me smile!
Very cute cards. Great colors and love the frog image and mushrooms. Thank you for sharing these.
These are great! Not only do they show off this great new set, but they value of Scenic Selections too!
Nope, no stretches on CAS to me. I would have stretched it further. Love both of these.
What cute gnome & frog cards!
Cute cards and I love the scenic additions
Absolutely adorable cards! Love the gnome!
Oh my your little garden gnome is so cute and I love the boarder. I thin C&S depends on the artist. I love the clean look you. I love the butter fly and frog popped up. TFS AJ~
Two cute cards, Lois!
Love your cards, Lois. I think the frog is especially cute atop the mushroom.
Two very nice cards! Love the use of the mushroom!
Great cards, Lois.
2 really cute cards Lois-love your gnome card-your coloring is wonderful and the other added touches make for a great card
Both cards are soooo "cute"-yep, that word is gonna be used a lot today! I like the froggy on the second card with the awesome butterfly.
I'd love to get gnomie! Lol! Super cute set and great cards!
Like your paper piecing on the 2nd card. Stamping the Butterfly twice & popping up the frog on the mushrooms gives it a wonderful 3D scene look. When I think of gnomes I think of the statue one a friend painted for me & gave to me when I was younger and I still have it.

2 great cards. Great stamp set.
Both are perfect and I love the "sky" feeling I get on the Gnome!
Like the coloring & whimsy to this stamp set. When I think of gnomes I think of the statue one a friend painted for me & gave to me when I was younger and I still have it. Enjoyed day 3 of the hop.

What cute cards!!
Lois,
Your cards are awesome - as always. I really like the second one with the sweet frog on the mushrooms - adorable!
Oh Lois--these cards are just wonderful!! I love the gnome card card, but the little frog with the googlie eyes on the mushrooms is just too darn cute!!! TFS
Fun cards; cutie pie gnome. Thanks for sharing
So cute!
The gnome is, indeed, sweet - but I must admit I'd prefer a frog in my garden any day!!
I like the background/sky treatment in the gnome card...different but effective. The second card is really cute/nice. TFS
So cute! Love the wiggle eyes on the frog.
wonderfully CAS, Lois....cute too
This is sure a cute one.
