Creators, our first-ever Gnome Challenge has come to an end. Each day during the challenge, our entire team couldn’t wait to check in to Creator’s Studio to see every new gnome that had made a home in the community. Sixteen members created delightful gnomes with unique personalities and characteristics. This delightful, lighthearted activity kept us all smiling during these trying days – thank you, gnomies!
Our four gnome winners will each receive a Rust-Oleum prize pack as our thanks and congratulations.
🏆Expert’s Pick, Cutest Gnome: Runaway Fisherman Gnome. We're crediting Colors with bringing the gnome trend to Creator's Studio and this little fisherman won a spot in our hearts. “He's a little Munchkin fisherman. He loves to spend his warm, sunny days catching fish for his family of Gnomes to have for dinner.”
🏆Expert’s Pick, Best Gnome Story: Gnome on the Range, SueH: “My gnome lives in my kitchen and brings an abundance of cheer and color.” [Note: don’t miss the video in this submission!]
🏆Expert’s Pick, Most Unique Gnome: Dharma Ivy Yates DIY, Schreiber WI. “Let me introduce you all to Dharma. I caught up with her as she was just finishing her newest piece. She usually doesn’t like being disturbed until she is done with her creation.”
🏆Community Favorite: Gnorman Gnome, Jandab. “Gnorman lives on a Nebraska farm and has been anxiously waiting for winter to be over and for the sun to come out so he can hit the beach. He has his sun visor, sunglasses, and sunscreen on so he is prepared for a sunny day if ever it comes out.”
