Life is full of discoveries!
Hi! I made a second hat tag for the challenge at Tag Tuesday and want to share it with you. This one features my cute great-nephew, Liam, when he was a baby. (He's in elementary school now!)
I used a frog tag from Basic Grey (oh how I miss that company!) and a party hat sticker from Jolee's. I also added other items from my stash.
You still have time to link up a hat tag at Tag Tuesday. Please join us and have a great week!
It's time for new challenges at Tag Tuesday and Make My Monday. We hope you will join us and link up your projects!
Here is my tag for Tag Tuesday, where the theme is "Hats and Headgear". I used a tag that was sprayed and stenciled. I then added a small doily, a Gecko Galz image that I fussy cut and words.
If you link up a tag at TT your name will be put into a drawing for a beautiful collage sheet, courtesy of Lunagirl.
For Make My Monday, the challenge is to use at least three colors of the rainbow. I used red, blue and yellow to make a card with beachy elements. The shell is stamped and then fussy cut. The scalloped circle is die cut and then stamped with coral.
Have a great week!
Hi, today I'd like to share a tag I made for Tag Tuesday. The theme for the next 2 weeks is "Spring Flowers". I covered a tag with paper from Moxxie. Then I stamped flowers (Stampin' Up) onto purple and light blue cardstock. I used the matching punch to cut out the flowers and pop dotted them to the tag. Next, I added some greenery, using a Tim Holtz die. Finally I tied some blue ribbon at the top.
It's a great theme and we hope you will make a tag and link it up at Tag Tuesday.
Next up is a card for Make My Monday. The theme is "Birds" and was chosen by me! We'd love to have you link up a project featuring birds, eggs, nests and/or feathers.
My card features a bird stamp by Stampin' Up. I used the SU markers to color directly onto the stamp. I stamped the image onto white cardstock and then cut it out with a scalloped oval die. I added a slightly larger red oval and the word hello (Sizzix) cut in blue.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!
Hi and oops! I forgot to put the tag I made for Gecko Galz in my post yesterday. Anyway here it is.
The background paper on the tag is from the "Oh Cupid" mini paper pack. The blue doily is cut from the Tropical Flower paper (la isla bonita paper pack). The pink heart is cut from the Love Potion #9 paper pack. The couple is from Retro love story collage sheet. I added a wooden embellishment to the tag.
Have a great day!
Hi, today I want to share some cards I made for Gecko Galz. First up are two cards made with images from the Bluebird of Happiness collage set. When I saw these two very regal bluebirds, I knew exactly what I wanted my cards to look like.
I used a white card base for each one, using a Martha Stewart corner punch on the bottom corners. The bluebirds were sized in Photoshop, fussy cut and then I added jewels to the crowns. I layered the birds onto a red heart doily and a scalloped heart which was die cut from the Love Potion #9 papers (paper #2). The heart die is by Spellbinders. Finally, I added the gold hearts from my stash.
I also have another card to share, featuring a cute little girl image from the Lovely Little Valentines collage sheet. I sized the image, fussy cut it and then layered it onto a bingo card from the Bits & Pieces collage set. The background is paper #6 from the Love Potion #9 set. Finally, I die cut a white heart (Spellbinders) and layered a smaller pink heart onto it. The card base is white.
Thanks for stopping by! Please don't forget about the Gecko Galz customer challenge for this month - Vintage Valentines. Use at least one GG product in your card to be entered for a prize. Get all the details on the Gecko Galz blog.
Hi, I'm here with a tag and some news about Tag Tuesday. It is now a challenge blog with a new theme every two weeks! You can join in and link your tag to Tag Tuesday.
The new theme is "Bookworm". For my tag I used Brainiac papers by Moxxie. I fussy cut the owl and pop dotted him to the tag, added some Doodlebug enamel dots, an enamel heart and fibers.
I hope you will join us in the launch of the new Tag Tuesday blog. We'd be delighted to see your Bookworm tags - link up and join the fun!
Hello and welcome to a new Gecko Galz post! This week I've got a Valentine's Day card to share with you. It won't be long and we will be sending cards to special people in our lives to let them know that they are loved.
To make the card, I used a sweet image from the Gecko Galz "Lovely Little Valentines" collage sheet. The image was fussy cut and layered on top of a heart cut from a Spellbinders die and Gecko Galz "Pink Lemonade" paper.
The word "love" was punched from pink cardstock and then attached to a piece of red cardstock. These were mounted on a white card base. (The pink is the background paper used for scanning.) The white doily is from Martha Stewart and the flower is by the Paper Studio.
Thanks for stopping by. Don't forget to start thinking red, pink and white - Valentine's Day will be here before you know it!
