Halloween Fun

I am ust having a little Halloween  fun on the Gecko Galzl Design Team.  This is the theme for this month.  On the front of this card I put a piece of door screening to give the card a spooky feelin g since I just really don't do  Halloween.

 

It's Autumn Time

 Gecko Galz is loaded with all sorts of  digitals for Autumn.  I took one of their ATC backgrounds and made it into a tag.  Afterward I added a small fold over pocket on the front with other small images from GG.

July Customer Challenge

The July Customer Challenge is Wonderland so I made a  couple of Alice in Wonderland cards and have a video showing how they were made.  These were all made with the same design, but the placement of the designer paper on each make them have a different look.

The video below shows how they were made and suggestions how this design can be used.

Ghecko Galz Customer Challenge

The May Gecko Galz Challenge for May has the theme Vintage Botanicals which is one of my favorite themes.  Here is a pocket for a junk journal using a  Gecko Galz image.

 I made a double pocket out of some book pages.   After making the basic pocket I distressed the edges and the GG image itself before attaching.  A dragonfly sticker was added,

Gecko Galz March Challenge

The  customer challenge this month is Springtime.  My sample this month uses a delightful springtime background digital paper.  This a collage card.

Age of Aquarius

My samples for this month's Gecko Galz challenge Age of Aquarius are below.  I used images that had a double view.  It was fun trying to find other digitals that would layer with them.

My February GG Challnge Samples

This month I am showcasing my February Gecko Galz challenge samples in a video.  This tutorial shows how I made the vintage flip tags and/or bookmarks.  Many of the images used were from Gecko Galz.
