* Gecko Galz: Dog Days of Summer 2

Hello

The June customer challenge at the Gecko Galz blog this month is 'Dog Days of Summer'.

We also have the monthly Image Challenge and the monthly Christmas 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.

Here are my DT projects.

I made a large tag using an image from the Beach Signs collage set.

The background paper is from the Winter Palace ATC set. I added some white paint splatters to disguise the feint snowflakes. I fussy cut around the image, which is an advertising board for a seaside guest house, inked around the edges with Vintage Photo ink and popped it on foam tape with some cheesecloth beneath. I echoed the flowers in the image with die cut flowers which I coloured with Distress Inks and Copics.

I also made a pair of notecards featuring lovely ladies and their doggies.

The lady in the yellow dress is from the .Beauty and the Beach collage set, whilst the one with the red parasol is from Puppy Power. The background paper is from the Wood Work ATC set as it reminded me of boardwalk.  I used teal card for matting the image and the background paper. I added a die cut circle with flowers beneath the images and inked the flowers in blue. I also added some die cut crochet lace and made some blue paper flowers. Tim Holtz Small talk stickers provide my sentiments.

 I also made a masculine birthday card using the sailor doggie from the Puppy Power collage set for my customer inspiration project. You can see the details here.

That's all for now!

I hope you'll join our Dog Days of Summer 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 on the 1st July with more Gecko Galz projects.
