February Card

Gecko products: paper “From Her Balcony” (Star Crossed papers), Hearts Galore set #1 – Love bingo card, Bits and Pieces set #1 Ticket & Rose Bingo card

Gems, lace, ribbon & rub on words from my stash.

Directions: I used a white cardstock card base, sized 5 x 7. I printed out the background paper, cut it 4 ¾ by 6 ¾ , making sure to use the textured doily part of the paper at the top left of my card.

Next, I sized the ticket, Love Bingo card (4” x 5 ¾”)and Bingo card with rose (3 1/2 “ x 4 ¼”) in Photoshop, cut them out, inked the edges and layered on top of the background paper. The ticket is pop dotted.

I added a piece of lace & 4 pearls across the top of the rose Bingo card.

I tied pink ribbon around the card and added a gemstone. Finally, I added the rub on words.

It's Snowing!!!!

Finally, a snowy day in Ohio!! Now we may have a chance for a White Christmas, which I am listening to right now, sung by Straight No Chaser, a group of acapella singers from Indiana Univ. Love their voices!! I'm posting a layout I made for Gecko Galz. Uses GG paper called Snow on Cedars, girl w/snowman image from Wintertime and "Enjoy Life" quote from Quotes to Live By. Rest of the items on the page are from my stash. The photo is of my daughter, taken several years ago.

Gecko Galz Christmas card

Wow, I can't believe that it's December! I'm not in the mood to decorate and shop for Christmas when the temperature is in the 50's. I remember Ohio winters when I was a child and we had lots of snow and almost always a white Christmas. Keeping my fingers crossed for a snowy December, January & February!

I am sharing a Santa card I made with Gecko Galz product. I sized the Santa & child image in Photoshop. The holly paper and papers used to make the doilies are all GG.

Perhaps good ol' St. Nick will get me in a holiday mood!

Christmas Ornaments

I used some snowflake ornaments that I had and added a Gecko Galz image to each. I sized the images in Photoshop, cut them out and inked the edges with brown ink. I like the way they turned out - turns my plain snowflakes into prettier ones!

Gecko Galz Tricks and Treats Blog Hop

Welcome to the 2nd Annual Gecko Galz Tricks and Treats Blog Hop!

My samples use the lovely ladies from Pretty Little Portraits, along with Gecko Galz papers and items from my stash.

The woman on the witch card was cropped & sized in Photoshop. Her purple witch hat is from Witching Hour ephemera (cropped and sized) and the background paper is "Beetlejuice" from the Hocus Pocus paper set. I added silver stickles to the buckle on her hat and also used orange mulberry paper & a Gimme Candy sticker from my stash.

The lady on this card is so lovely, I didn't need to add much to it. I cut the oval dies in "Harvest Moon" from Hocus Pocus & "Pirates Lagoon" from Neverland (both are Gecko Galz papers). The woman was printed and cut from the sheet - no resizing.

The gift bag's papers are: Good China, Du Jour and Papillon. The image was resized and cut out.

I also made a scrapbook page, featuring my daughter. I punched flower shapes from a scallop punch I had and then punched the ladies faces with a circle punch for the centers. Papers used are: p2 & Papillon (from Paris papers), Fairyland (from Neverland) and assorted papers for the flowers.

The last card I made uses Du Jour paper for the background and p2 paper for the strip.

Wedding planning

I haven't posted for over a month, but I do have a reason. My daughter is getting married next year and the wedding planning, shopping, etc. has already started!! I cannot believe how many details there are to planning a wedding! (I had a very small wedding - only about 25 people - and so this is all new to me.) It is fun but time consuming! No more excuses - here are a few things I've made over the last month but never posted. The scrapbook page is made entirely with Momenta products. The bathing beauty card has a Gecko Galz image and background papers.
