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.
