Hello from Gnome-N-Birdy

If you were to describe yourself how would you start?

Perhaps you would tell us a little about

what you've done with your life

or perhaps where you live...

but most likely you would describe the things you love.

Well as I sit here in-front of my computer contemplating how describe this new blog...

the only thing that comes to mind is to share what we love.

This blog was created out of friendship and shared passions.

Karli (a.k.a Gnome Hut & Retro Plant)

and I (Chelsea Ann of ittybittybirdy)

discovered that not only did we LOVE the same things

but that we also loved to share what we loved with the world.

This blog is our way of uniting our efforts into one place.

We hope that this blog will serve as a source of inspiration-

showcasing artist we love, items worth googling over,

and bringing you fun new ideas

to incorporate into your own lives.

So what is it that we really love?

It's simple...

WE LOVE ALL THINGS

Kitschy

Retro

Fun

We really want this to be an interactive blog -

please share your thoughts... share what you love!

For those of you who have some how magically stumbled upon our blog

but have no idea who we are I thought I would share a little bit more...

more similarities that is :)

Karli and I are both newbies to the world of Asian Fashion dolls

My hubby surprised me this Christmas

with the most BEAUTIFUL Record Player!

And to top it off I also got a $100 winning scratch-it ticket in my stocking

and that is how I was able to get my first doll (Pullip)

Marianne who's just as sweet as can be!

I'm spoiled!

Karli's first doll - Simple Peppermint

arrived this last fall and I have no clue where Karli's genius and energy comes from

but her Eve (dolls new name) already struts around with the greatest accessories

from prize ribbons to the sweetest dolly sized valentine cards -

which unfairly sold out before I could snatch a set for myself ~ oh-well :)

Karlie and I first became acquainted through flickr

were I fell in love with her collection of vintage toys.

As you can see I have a bit of a collection myself :)

Among a hand full of other things

WE BOTH LOVE LOVE LOVE

to digital scrapbook!

And within the last year we have also started to make

digital scrap-booking products of our own.

This new blog will no doubt be full of great retro-kitschy-fun digital kits,

project ideas, and how-to tutorials.

We really really want to share our love for digital scrap-booking with you!

Because it's fun!

Make sure you stop by for our Valentines Day post -

we are going to share great ideas for scrap-booking, and crafting

using digital downloads of vintage Valentine day card

- or of coarse you can use cards from your own collection!

~ There will be a special giveaway too :)

Oh ~ I almost forgot!

Karlie put together this really sweet Valentines kit

for our new friends here at Gnome-N-Birdy

~Phew that was quite a lot of information ~

I guess it just shows how excited we are!

So hello everyone and welcome to Gnome-N-Birdy!
