Spring: In Suspension

"Spring:  In Suspension" is what I named this mixed media canvass.  It uses watercolors, acrylics, and Stickles.  I did this a little while back and I am just posting.  I really enjoyed creating this.

Gecko Galz Today

Today is my day at Gecko Galz;  With packing and moving I have been only able to make a couple of things this time.  One reason is exhaustion and the other not being able to find all my supplies.

 

The background on both of these tags is watercolor powder.  This is something fairly new for me and I love using it. 

 

I put a little humor with this  tag.  I gave the girl an egg body and the flowers seem to be in her hair.  I decided to leave her face back and white so it would stand out from the colorful egg body..

 

Below is the freebie that Gecko Galz has graciously given me to share.  Enjoy

Lunagirl's March Challenge

I haven't posted lately as we are downsizing from a four bedroom house to a bedroom in my daughter's house.  My husband and daughter are doing all the work and I can only help a little with my inability to stand and walk without a cane.  We are almost there.  Our  house is sold and we plan to be completely moved by April 1.  We are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but everyone goes to bed complete exhausted.  Needless to say there has been no time for crafting and my stuff is in my small cubicle at the new house, in the garage and in storage.  If I find something to use, it is by luck.

Over at Lunagirl Karen is having a great challenge.  It is Spring Flowers and Birds, one of my favorite themes.  I managed to supply one card this week for the challenge. 

I just love this cute little image from Lunagirl.  Karen  has so many images it is hard to pick one to use.  The background is a piece of wrapping paper.  I have use it many times as it fills in the background nicely with various spring flowers.   Along with the little girl image, I used one of Karen's bird images too.  The card is embellished with a single pink flower.

 

Don't forget to go over to the Lunagirl site and enter the challenge.

February is Love

\

February is the month for Love at Gecko Glaz.   I made a variety of items for my samples this time.  Firstly  are some tags.

 For this one I used a couple of stickers to accent the black and white Gecko Galz image.

One this black and white I added some white, pink, and red tiiny foam flowers.

 

This time I not only used a Gecko Galz image, but I used one of their many backgrounds.

 

The mat on this card is from a shiny paper bag.

The main thing I like about digitals is the fact you can change the size to fit your need.

The Twincie I have above and below here will be put on a card as an opening tab.  These images were reduced to 1 1/2 inches and they were a little hard to cut out.

 

 The following card is a little different.  It is a shaker card and you can see the Gecko Galz Zen Cupcake through the window..  I made this birthday card for a special friend. 

\Thank you visiting my blog and here is a free digital stamp for you thanks to the generosity of Gecko Galz..  Just right click on the image and then save.

Love is in the Air

Love projects are filling the net and this is definitely true with the Lunagirl Moonbeamss.  Below are some that I made for the month of February.  All of these cards use the lovely romantic images of Lunagirl

The card below does not use any digital images, but the inside does have a pop-up heart.

 

 

 

Twinchie

It has been a long time since I have made a Twinchie.  What is a Twinchie?   Well is a piece of art that measure 2"  by 2".  This one uses an image from Gecko Galz.

Featured Designer

Today I am a featured designer on the Gecko Galz blog.  The first couple of cards are based on the January theme "Glitter".

The glitter on this card is on the snowflakes

The glitter on this card is from t he background of very shinny paper.

A large butterfly accents the Gecko Galz image and the butterfly background paper.

More Babies

All this month Lunagirl Moonbeams are using images with the theme "Children and Babies".  This time I made a collage card of children..  If you look closely at Lunagirl's Homepage you will see these images plus many more on a sheet on her sidebar.  They are only $2.50 for all  those images (20 of them).  That makes it about .12 an image.


By the way have you noticed the Lunagirl blog?  Karen has put together an Adult Coloring Book which can be downloaded.   This is all the rage at this  time.  She has a sample of some of  the images you will get. This was on an April 15 2015 post.

January Theme for Lunagirl

The first theme for the monthly challenge for Lunagirl  Moonbeams for 2016 is "Babies and Childlren"  Take a look at all the lovely images that Lunagirl carries.  I am sure you will find it hard to choose just one or two images.

My first sample is a baby dressed in an old fashion dress.  I used this as my focal  point on the front of my card.

Twenty-four Tags

Gecko Galz has a number of creative activities that you can participate in.  First is the Customer Challenge.  This month the challenge theme is "Far Away Places'  Make sure you go to the Facebook page and enter. plus see what others have entered.  Below are a couple of samples I have made.

This card identifies itself with Paris, France while the one below has an Asian influence.

Another thing going on at Gecko Galz is the Twenty-four of Christmas.  Also this is part of our Christmas spectacular where each week we will be giving a lucky customer a free Christmas present just for shopping with Gecko Galz (just join the Gecko Galz mailing list to find out what the giveaway is for each week). But there is more  every day when we feature a new tag write us and let us know who made the tag and the first 10 people will get a free gift (we will email you with the details if you are one of the winners). Then at the end of the week we will have two Super drawings, the first is for customers who made a purchase that week, and the second for all those who responded that week to the tags

 

My tag was made by putting the tag image on top of a larger tag made from a piece of gold glitter paper.  The image was colored with Copic markers and the ribbon on the package is a heavy coat of Stickles.  Santa and the small package in the corner are stickers.

Here is another card made using the sweet little girl image from Gecko Galz.  The scene through the window is from an old commercial card.  The tree and toys are stickers.

 

Finally I have a free image for you thanks to the generosity of Gecko Galz.  I hope you enjoy using it.

 

In case you don't come back to my site again before Christmas, I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.

Angels

Lunagirl Moonbeams are now working on their Christmas cards, tags etc. with the theme of "Angels" and they would love to have you enter into the fun.

I have a lot of people giving me old cards to use to recycle into new cards for the homebound.  I used one to make a scene through the window.  My Lunagirl angel....and Karen has loads of angel images---sits in front of the window reading.

Come join the challenge.

Happy Thanksgiving

I am wishing everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving with this card using a Lunagirl image.
