Gecko Galz: Beach Babes

 Hello

A very warm welcome to my new follower, Carmelle Fahey - I'm so happy to have you here. 

August is here and we have a new customer challenge over at the Gecko Galz blog.  

The theme this month is Beach Babes.

As always, we also have the monthly card challeng.e, the monthly Christmas Image Challenge, the monthly Stamp Challenge, an ATC challenge, a Steampunk challenge and a Gothic Challenge on the blog, as well as 4 Facebook challenges. These can be accessed by the tabs at the top of the main blog page.

And, new for this year, we have a new challenge, the quarterly challenge.. This quarter the challenge is to make an altered mason jar.

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.

I made a retro style card:

I love this lady - she is from the Poolside collage set. I fussy cut her away from the background and chose an ocean scene background from the Surfing Safari Kit. I added some white heat embossed hearts to the ocean and some glitter to the sun's rays. The lady was popped up on foam tape for dimension and the whole image was matted on a piece of card that was smooshed in oxide various blue oxide inks. I found the sentiment online.

That's all for now!

I hope you'll join our Beach Babes 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.

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 bespoke digita prize. 

Do come and join us!

I'll be back on the 20th August with more Gecko Galz projects.
