Day 8 - "G"

There's nothing more festive than the smell of warm gingerbread coming from a homey kitchen at Christmastime, but the little guy I'm using on today's card is much too cute to snack on, so I've put him on a greeting card instead.

This guy is definitely too cute to snack on. Maybe you can put him on a shelf and instead of an elf on a shelf it would be a gingerbread on a shelf.

I love these little guys and their sweet little bellies. Do you think gingerbread men eat gingerbread men?

Adorable face, love these soft colors!

Oh my goodness. The smell of baking gingerbread people is awesome. Just mixing it up with the molasses smells incredible. Oh mercy, I could bite a hole in him right now but that wouldn't look or taste good if I did that. [Bunny]`

Y'all get ready for that Gnome!

He is a cutie!

Love how the use of kraft cardstock prevents your sweet gingerbread man from becoming too sweet, but then, who is counting calories at Christmas?!

So very cute, Beccy! I love him! I've always had a soft spot for Gingerbread Men! I can remember I had a Gingerbread Man book as a child - I recently found the same book at a thrift store for 25 cents and it brought back some happy memories! I also remember my grandmother would hang Gingerbread Man cookies on the Christmas tree! Great childhood memories that warm my heart!

Such a darling gingerbread boy! I love the colors you chose. The smell of gingerbread in the house always brings back such wonderful childhood memories of my Grammy's house. Her house was exactly 1 block from ours so we all spent lots of time with her. Her house had an attic which became the grandkid's play area and the end of it directly above the kitchen was the best place to play. Whatever she was baking (and at holiday time that meant lots of cookies and gingerbread), the aroma came right up and filled the air in the attic! Mmmm, wonderful memories. :-D

Like the color choice of pink and gingerbread brown for background. The image is darling, never seen a gingerbread man bring gifts and candy. Cute card.

Darling little guy done in pastels! I wouldn't have thought of pastels, Beccy, and it surely does bring out the feeling of a warm kitchen and home baked goods! hugs, de
