"Dream" Challenge and Christmas Tagsl

Below are a couple of samples I created for the "Dream" Customer Challenge.  I used some Cinderella images on my two cards.  If there were anyone who had a dream in life, it was Cinderella.

I used a book page for the background on this card.

Below are my Christmas tags.  This first tag is a little unusual for me as I have never made a tag go sideways.  All images are from Gecko Galz.

Peaceful Christmas

Nothing exemplifies a peaceful environment as a snowfall on the landscape.  Here I have taken one digital from Gecko Galz and cut it to make two matching tags.  Glittering snowflakes were added.

Here I have two pages from a Christmas book I  have been working on.  These also use a couple of Gecko Galz digitals.

Steampunk Cards

I have made a couple of steampunk cards from only two sheets of  backgrounds by Gecko Galz..  Steampunk is the type card or project that is the Customer Challenge this month.  Below shows what you can do with  only two sheets of Gecko Galz  designs.

Customer Challenge

The Customer Challenge for the month of August is Seaside.  My tag and card below are my samples for this challenge.  Both the background and swimmer image are from Gecko Galz. .  The flower at the top is a printable from Pinterest.

The card also uses Gecko Galz digitals.  In addition, I added a strip of blue foil down the side as an added touch of bling..

Template

This is the template for the squared art card which is posted on  YouTube channel under Cheerful Greetings.  I hope you enjoy viewing the video and using the template .

May Gecko Galz Theme

Gecko Galz celebrate its 8th birthday this month.  I hope you got in on the action.  The theme this month is Dapper Gals/  Here is my sample below:

April Challenge Theme

The Gecko Galz theme for April is Nouveau Garden.  These are my samples using Gecko Galz's images.

Bless this Nest

Gecko Galz is having Birds as the theme for March.  Here is a couple of samples

 

This is a set of three vintage bird tags.  I have a tutorial on YouTube showing how these were made.  My brand is Cheerful Greetings.

This is a collage card.

Moonlight and Magic

Moonlight and Magic is the theme for February's Customer Challenge.  My sample has a distance moon on which I placed a Geck Galz image.  I decreased her size so she would fit on the moon and used butterfly wings as her angel wings. The background is a collage of papers.

I have just started putting tutorials on YouTube and I would love for all my visitors to this blog to find them and then subscribe.  This is my first attempt at this so please bear with me as I am learning and my first videos are not the best.

You can find my videos here.  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWTuW-zPbQ2HZ1Px_cu2r3w

Also please offer suggestions on how I can improve.  Just send them to vlromaine@bellsouth.net    There are 4 videos in all.  PLEASE SUBSCRIBE!

My Love Stories

Gecko  Galz is having this month as its theme for the Customer Challenge "Beautiful Love Stories".  These are my love stories for this challenge.  I hope yo enjoy them.

Tag Tuesday

I decided to do things a little different this year by entering a number of challenges.  My first entry is for a "New Beginning" theme on Tag Tuesday.  This tag emphasizes the Beginning with a background that is vast, void of shape.  I took watercolors and combined the blue that would be the sky, the green and brown that would become the earth.  Time began at creation  The clocks in the background were  made with a glittery gold paste.  The words were made with my label maker and the girl is a sticker.
