* Gecko Galz: Christmas Dreams and a Free Collage Sheet


 Hello

December is here and we have a new customer challenge at the Gecko Galz blog.  
The theme this month is Christmas Dreams.
We also have the 24 tags of Christmas, where each day leading up to Christmas Day we feature a different designer tag. Do pop over and take a look.

As always, we have the monthly Image Challenge, the monthly Christmas Image Challenge, the monthly Stamp Challenge, a Steampunk challenge and a Gothic Challenge on the blog, 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 is one of the cards I made.
(the rest will be featured on my DT day, the 20th December.)


How beautiful is this image? It is from the 2022 January Kit Club called Sweet Love.
Simple matting and layering with patterned papers and some die cut foliage and a sparkly, die cut poinsettia. The Merry Christmas sentiment is a peel-off sticker sentiment - do you remember those?

Free Collage Sheet ...
Leanne, the owner of Gecko Galz, has kindly made a collage sheet for me to give away to my blog followers. It couldn't be more perfect for me as it's a kitty cat Christmas collage sheet. Here it is - I hope you have fun and please share what you make:

 Some of the other Gecko Galz DT members have free collage sheets to give away, so pop over and grab your sheet from each of the ladies below and don't forget to leave them a nice message!

That's all for now!
I hope you'll join our Christmas Dreams 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 20th December with more Gecko Galz projects.

    Thank you for the free sheet. I love kitties so I'm going to try and create with it this week if I can (before the month gets totally hectic).
