Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Lunagirl Moonbeams are still having the challenge, Planes, Trains and Automobiles.  The challenge continues until the end of the month.  Here are a couple of ideas for the challenge.

This theme is great for making cards for the men in your life.

July 4

Today we celebrate Independence Day..... "One Nation Under God".  I hope everyone has an enjoyable and a safe day.  The image on the card is by Gecko Galz.

Below are two exciting challenges,  Won't you join in on one or both?

End Of Month

We are closing in on the end of June and that means the "Father and Brothers" theme on Lunagirl is ending.  You still have a couple of days to enter the challenge though.  Below are a couple of cards I made to end out the month.

Theses cards are similar as both have a collage-looking background. 

June Theme

The June Customer Challenge for Gecko Galz is "Man O Man".  Won't you join in?  This is a tiny example of some of their masculine images.

 

 

 

This time I decided to play a little with the freebie by putting her on a watercolor tag.

 Here is your free stamp for June from Gecko Galz.

New Month; New Challenge

With the beginning of June Lunagirl Moonbeams began a new themed challenge.  It is very appropriately "Fathers and Brothers.  My card this time emphasizes "Brothers".  I used a number of papers to make up the background on this card.

End of Theme

With the last of May coming to an end I have posted one last project for the theme "Mothers and Sisters" at Lunagirl.  If you have not joined in you still have a couple of days.  \So pick an image and join in on the fun. 

Here is my "Sisters" tag.  Isn't this a sweet image of the two girls?

Gecko Galz Projects

I have a couple of projects below I made for Gecko Galz.  The first one is my Garden of Dreams.  The background and featured image are both from Gecko Galz.

 

 

This is a collage of Gecko Galz images.  They include the background, the bird,,  the woman's head and the mannequin which was added to the woman's face.

"Mothers and Sisters"

The Lunagirl Moonbeams continue the theme "Mothers and Sisters" for the month of May.  This time I made a card using the sisters part of the theme.

This card pokes fun at the sisters playful mood.  The mat for the Lunagirl image is woven cardstock.

Puzzle Piece

Here is a puzzle piece I made from a Gelli plate background.  On top I placed three pictures of moms.  The only embellishment are the letters "M-O-M"  The images are from Gecko Galz.

Mothers and Sisters Challenge

Here we are at the beginning of another month and that means there is a new challenge at Lunagirl

Since Mother's Day is in May, Karen is using the theme "Mothers and Sisters". on her website.  Go to the above link and enter.  She has also posted the rules there and they are also listed on my previous site.

 

My first sample for this challenge is a typical classic card.  The image of the mother is from the many images that Karen carries at the Lunagirl website.  As added embellishment I used a butterfly and some sequin flowers.  The sentiment is from Our Daily Bread Designs.

 

 

Cowgirls, Cowboys and Horses

 

"Cowgirls, Cowboys and Horaes" is the theme at Lunagirl this month.  The site has a great collage sheet of images for this theme and it is only $2.50.  Karen also has a domino, 1x2', images which I just love.  They are the same price for a page full.  Take a look and then see about entering her challenge.  Here are the rules

My card above says Living an Adventure Everyday.  The card is fairly plain, but I added some string for additional rope on the image,

The girl carrying the heart below reminds me how I love to watch western movies.  Maybe there is one on tonight,

My Day at Gecko Galz

Today I am being featured on Gecko Galz Scrapbooking website.  Here are a couple of samples I made  using images from their store.

I really like this card and had someone picked out who would receive it, but my daughter's dog got hold of it and tore it apart.  I manage to salvage all of it with the exception of the background designer paper.  I was going to put it back together,  but I do not have any more of that designer  paper. Oh well, I won't let him in my workroom any more!

The lacey part under the image is a recycled piece of an old commercial card.

The tag uses one of the jewel domino images.  The bottom of the tag looks like part of it is missing.  It is not really as I made my tag from a paper I made using the Gelli plate and it just happens that  there is a white area at the bottom.  Also for an embellishment I used 4 rows of rhinestones.    The black and white spray is a piece of chipboard.  The bow at the top is silver and seems to pick up a reflection of the purple acrylic paint.

Thanks to the generosity of Gecko Galz here is a free image for you.
