Gecko Galz: Gatsby Girls Mini Book

Hello

Happy New Year!

It's a new month and we have a new customer challenge over at the Gecko Galz blog.  

The theme this month is Gatsby Girls.

As always, we have free images to download to make projects to enter the Card Challenge, the Christmas Image Challenge, the Fantasy Challenge, an ATC challenge, a Steampunk Challenge and a Gothic Challenge,. The free images can be accessed by the tabs at the top of the main blog page. We also have a quarterly challenge on the blog.

If that isn't enough challenges, we also have 4 Facebook challenges each month.

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 as inspiration for the Customer Challenge..

 It's a mini book with scalloped edges and an accordion spine, decorated with Art Deco papers in black, navy and gold. 

Here are the pages:

The left side of each page has gold paper embossed with a folder and quotes from the film 'Great Gatsby'. The right hand side has an image from the Gatsby Girl collage set. On the first page I used craft dyed feathers and sequins for embellishments.

This page has gold and copper stickers and sequins for embellishment.

Gold corner stickers were applied to this lovely image and thin copper lines applied around the sentiment block.

More feathers and sequins ....

The closure is gold elastic which holds on the pearl brad.

Each photo is matted onto gold card.

The front and back cover has sequin trim.

I hope you'll join our 'Gatsby Girls' challenge where the winner will get a $25 shopping spree at the Gecko Galz shop.

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.
