Hello
The theme this month is Winter Elegance..
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. We also have the quarterly challenge where this time we're asking you to make an altered shrine..
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 what I made for inspiration on the Winter Elegance theme:
My card uses an image from the beautiful Winter Fantasy collage set. I added some crystal glitter and matted it onto glitter card, then gave it a dreamy background using paper from the Once Upon a Dream ATC set (digitally resized). I made a pink Distress Oxide background to frame the piece and popped it onto a white card base. I added a cluster of foliage and flowers with sparkly centres and a simple die cut greeting that just says, 'joy'.
That's all for now!
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 digital prize.
Do come and join us!
I'll be back on the 10th December with more Gecko Galz projects.
