Feature Day @ Gecko Galz

Today is my day to feature my Design Team project for the month of October over at Gecko Galz. 

I watch a great many junk journal videos over on YouTube and oh-aah over many on pinterest and of course am envious of my fellow design teamers who make absolutely stunning ones, but I can't seem to make them.... I always get stuck on what to put in them, what looks good together etc. Maybe I over think them, so I tend not to try them, BUT this month I decided to start off simple and actually print off the whole of  Frightfully Delightful Journal Kit and play with that, I didn't have too worry about mixing and matching papers, images etc, everything was right there to play with. Does what it says on the tin!

The only thing I used from another sheet Haunted Ephemera was the cats hat.

I had some large black cards I've never used, so cut them down to the size of the papers I had printed off and matted & layered them on, matching facing sides, and embellished each one, again mirroring something on the facing pages - witches hat then moon. The 2 atcs were made last year, but they look good in the journal.

Pretty pleased with the result!

I hope you'll join our Happy Haunting challenge where the winner will receive a $25 shopping spree at the Gecko Galz shop. The only rule is that you must use at least one Gecko Galz product, which can be something you purchased from the shop or a freebie. 

 If you sign up for the Gecko Galz newsletter, you'll be able to claim a free collage sheet each month and get first claim on the monthly Super Sunday Deals! 

Why don't you pop over to the Gecko Galz blog to see all the fabulous designs by the very talented Design Team, don't forget to grab the free digi stamp on each post! 

We also have a Facebook Group where there are more monthly challenges for you to play in, each

with a Design Sheet to win.

Autumn Calling!

A new month means a new Customer Challenge with the Gecko Galz and the theme for the month of September is 'Autumn Calling'. 

So why not play along - join the challenge with the chance to win $25 at the Gecko Galz shop!

And by Jove, Jeeves!!  Autumn has definitely landed here in the UK - seriously thinking about putting the heating on!! Love the colours of Autumn, and how the shades are copied in fashion - gorgeous browns, mustards and oranges!

Two 6 x 6 cards for today - the first one using an acorn & leaf icon from Autumn Calling Craft Kit and digitally stamped into a wreath, backed by a paper from Autumn Harvest ATC Set. The stamped sentiment is a magazine freebie from Tonic, in Jet Black Stazon - I printed on Matte photo paper so this has had an effect on the ink taking to the paper - and a couple of autumnal coloured gems

The second one uses an image from Autumn Splendor Collage Set, backed onto black card and stuck onto a paper from Crafters Companion "Winter Florals" paper pack. Spellbinder die for the sentiment.

 

I hope you'll join in 'Autumn Calling' Challenge, where the Winner gets a $25 shopping spree to spend at the Gecko Galz shop. (The only rule is that you must use at least one Gecko Galz product... this can be one of the freebies, or, of course, you can buy at the Etsy shop).

Feature Day @ Gecko Galz

This is a bit late as I'm normally on the 18th, but I've been away on my holidays to The Lake District so am just catching up with everything.

So this is my Design Team project for the month of August over at Gecko Galz. 

With a bit of mixed media, this card is very serene - you can imagine sitting on the banks of a Lake listening to the gentle lapping of the waters upon the shore, watching the boats go by!

I hope you'll join our Summer Love challenge where the winner will receive a $25 shopping spree at the Gecko Galz shop. The only rule is that you must use at least one Gecko Galz product, which can be something you purchased from the shop or a freebie. 

 If you sign up for the Gecko Galz newsletter, you'll be able to claim a free collage sheet each month and get first claim on the weekly Super Sunday Deals! 

 Why don't you pop over to the Gecko Galz blog to see all the fabulous designs by the very talented Design Team, don't forget to grab the free digi stamp on each post!

Summer Love

Wow! A new month already, which means a new Customer Challenge at the Gecko Galz and the theme for the month of AUGUST is 'Summer Love'. So why not play along - join the challenge with the chance to win $25 at the Gecko Galz shop! 

The past month has been interesting, what with mini lockdowns ending and new rules when you go places, hairdressers finally getting to open up - though I've not yet made an appointment, keep forgetting.

So with a bit more freedom and shorter hair, everyone can look forward to some good old Summer Love!  

A 100% digital piece this month, it looked simple enough to do but it wasn't, but the more time I spent on it, the more the chap looked like Gordon Ramsey. Eek. Thankfully I've recovered!
