Make My Monday and Tag Tuesday shares

I've been crafting quite a bit lately and want to share two finished projects. First up is a card for Make My Monday. The theme is "beach" and there is a color inspiration that goes along with it.

Next is a tag made for Tag Tuesday, where the theme this week is "Feminine". I used a Gecko Galz image, 7 Gypsies card for the tag and pink SU ribbon. I love how this turned out!!

Check out both blogs to see lots of great projects by my fellow dt members. And we would love to have you join us at Make My Monday with a beach project of your own!

Happy 4th of July

July 4th is one of my favorite holidays. I love the meaning behind the holiday, the colors, the flags and the fireworks. Today I am sharing a tag I made for Make My Monday. The theme is "Exploding".

I hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday!!

I am back!

I'm back and blogging again! After a six month break to help babysit my great-niece and great-nephew (such darling twins!) I am ready to create again for Make My Monday and Tag Tuesday.

Make My Monday has changed a bit since I was gone. The most noticeable change is that each challenge will last for two weeks. Beginning today, the challenge is a photo inspiration.

Here is the photo inspiration.

And here is the tag I made.

I used the colors from the photo and also the circular shapes to make my tag. I began with a large manila tag and covered it with gelatos. The stars were stenciled with ink and the bathing beauty image is from Gecko Galz. I added stamping, sea images, a doily and the large chipboard circle.

We hope that you will join us at Make My Monday and enter this fun challenge!

Final Gecko Galz post

It's with much sadness that I am posting my final Gecko Galz post. This design team has been wonderful to be on - from the great images to my very inspiring team members! I have been a Gecko Galz dt member for 4.5 years. Due to family obligations I am stepping down from all my design teams at this time.

Now for my final GG projects - 1 card and 5 tags.
First up are three tags featuring images from December's "Greek to Me" collage sheets.

Next is my Christmas tag. I used a lovely image from December's "Snow Maidens" collage sheet.

I also made a tag using an image and papers from the December kit "Czarina".

The card I made also uses an image from the Czarina kit.

Below is your free Gecko digi - please enjoy!

Happy Holidays!!

Wings at Christmas

Hi! I am sharing a new theme at Make My Monday this week - "Wings at Christmas". I made a card using a stamp by Dare 2 Be Artzy. I colored the image with chalks and added copper Stickles around the halo.

Please join us here and link up a project of your own - we'd love to see what you create!!

White Christmas

Well, since I can't get the real thing - it's going to be in the 60's this weekend! - I chose "White Christmas" as the theme this week at Make My Monday. We hope you will join us with a project of your own.

I have always loved snow and winter in Ohio. Seems like we always had snow for Christmas when I was a child. That's why I put the words "Happy Memories" on my card. Have a wonderful week everyone!

Stamping without a stamp!

That's the theme for Make My Monday this week: stamp but don't use a stamp. Check out all the cool ideas from the design team!

I used the end of a bunch of celery. Adding some marker highlights made flowers! Then I drew on stems and leaves, added a bee sticker and a photo of spring brunch, plus a yummy breakfast casserole recipe.

We'd love to have you join us with your own projects.
