Gecko Galz December Customer Challenge - Believe

Good morning everyone! It's the 1st of the month and that means another Customer Challenge over on the Gecko Galz Blog.  This month, it's all about Santa.

That in mind, I decided to create an ATC.  Gecko Galz has a ton of wonderful Christmas collage sheets to chose from so I did have a little trouble deciding on just one image.

I created the background with a mix of inks then added my image from Santa Claus Lane, some die cut snowflakes, a little stamping, and a sticker that says Believe.

Don't forget to check out all the wonderful collage sheets at Gecko Galz Etsy store.

Until next time~

Gecko Galz October Fun

Good morning everyone!  I'm a little late getting this blog post done, but I wanted to share with you some projects I made using Gecko Galz digital collage sheets.

 Since Halloween is at the end of the month, most of my projects had a Halloween theme.

I used an image from Boo-tiful Halloween.

Well, this one didn't, but I participated in a swap with a Circus theme.

I used this vintage image from Circus Circus.

Doesn't this look creepy?

I used an image from Jeepers Creepers.

If you like these images, check of the Gecko Galz Etsy store where there are tons and tons are awesome digital collage sheets.

Until later.................

Gecko Galz September Fun

Good morning everyone!  I'm back this month to share some things I created for Gecko Galz.  They have the absolutely BEST collage sheets.

For my Autumn ATC, I used the leaves from Fall Into Nature and Autumn from Autumn Harvest.  I sprayed the background with LSG Rudolph's Red Nose & Canna Lily Burnt Orange, did a little stamping with a cheap border stamp, and then added all my images.

For my Smile art tile, I used clear gesso to seal the coaster, then sprayed with LSG Drop Dead Gorgeous Green.  I then used a splatter stamp and red ink, cut out an image from Her Beautiful Colors, and added a sticker from Prima and a metal flower basket.

For Be Free, I sprayed the ATC with LSG Frolic in the Black Forest and Frozen Jack Frost to get a gray background, stamped with LCD Flagstone stamp, and cut out an image from Sparkle and Shine.  I then added some flatback pearls and the saying.

Lastly, I created my Shine Brightly ATC by using black and red paint on a gel plate, cut out an image from Paper Moon, added some wooden stars I painted silver and a star pin, then finally the saying.

Check out Gecko Galz monthly challenge, Autumn Harvest, for a chance to win $25 in Gecko Galz collage sheet.  If you love the images, go to the Gecko Galz Etsy Store.

Until later..........

Sorry it's so short and sweet and I have no step-by-step instructions this month.  I'm dealing with health issues related to stress and with putting my house back together.

Fly Play Sing ATC

It's a new month for challenges over at Lost Coast Portal to Creativity.  The challenge is use faux or real stitching. Since I don't have a sewing machine, here is what I did:

I used the Fly, Play, and Sing clear stamps from Carmen's Veranda along with drawing in my own stitching.
