Gecko Galz: Winter Greetings

Hello

At Gecko Galz this December, we have yet another busy month. 

All month long, until the 29th, we have the blog customer challenge and the theme is 

Holly and Ivy.

We also have the Christmas Challenge and a monthly Image challenge, as well as 4 Facebook challenges. We hope you can find some time to join in the fun.

The winner of the Customer challenge will get a $25 Gecko Galz Etsy Store voucher and the runner up a $12 voucher. There are plenty of free Gecko Galz images if you don't already own any. Each blog post has a free image to collect and, if you sign up for the monthly newsletter, there is the chance to claim a free collage set each month.  Also if you make any purchase of $2 or more you receive a free image.

Today I am sharing two more vintage style Christmas cards.

I love this image of little Holly and Ivy sharing a kiss. It is from the Little Christmas Icons collage sheet and I matted it onto some music paper from the Christmas Carols collage set. The papers I chose came from the Christmas in Nature ATC set and the Merry and Bright. ATC Collection.. All cut edges are distressed and inked and matted onto kraft card. Some gold trim was added along the left hand side. Here is a close up:

My second card:

My second card follows the same format as the first - the only difference is the choice of image. This sleigh riding children are from the Little Christmas Icons collage set. The papers are from the Christmas Traditions ATC set and Merry and Bright. ATC Collection.

It is also my time to share another tag in our 24 tags of December event:

The sweet little Caroller image is from the Little Christmas Ladies collage set. I added her to a chipboard frame from my stash and layered it onto a Christmas Bingo card from the Altered Christmas collage set. The lovely paper, one of my favourites, is from the Christmas in Nature ATC set. I added some green velvet trim and made some holly berries and leaves to add as embellishments.

My other December Gecko Galz projects can be seen here and here.

Here, here and here! 

It's been a busy month :)

That's all for now!

I hope you'll join our Holly and Ivy Challenge where the winner will get a $25 shopping spree 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 store!) 

Also 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 $1 deals!

Please pop over to the Gecko Galz blog to see the fabulous designs by the very talented DT.

We also have a friendly Facebook Group where there are 4 monthly challenges, each with a collage sheet prize. 

Do come and join us!

I'll be back in January with more Gecko Galz projects.
