Gecko Galz: Winter Woodland

 

 Hello

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

The theme this month is Winter Wonderland.

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 collage sheet.

Here are the projects I made.

All use images from the beautiful Winter Woods collage set and the Winter Birds set.

Crafts Galore Encore: Cats with Cups

 

Hello

and 

Happy New Year!

Today sees that start of a new challenge at Crafts Galore Encore. 

The theme is always 'Anything Goes' and you can enter up to 3 different projects.  The challenge runs all month until mid day (GMT) 30th January..

This month's challenge is sponsored by the wonderful Wendy from WendyLynn's Paper Whims and the random winner will receive their choice of 2 digital collage sheets from her store..

Here is what I made:

It's a mini book made from memorydex die cut cards. 

Here are the inside pages:

I coloured the card using Distress Inks on an acrylic block. The inks were spritzed with water then stamped onto the card. Once dry, I stamped some patterns and added some heat embossed script writing. Some white paint splatters were also added.

The gorgeous collage sheet, called Cats with Cups, was cut up to reveal 8 beautiful woodblock style cats. Aren't they adorable. I inked around the edges of each block in black ink and adhered them to the pages.

I gathered some cat quotes from an internet search and typed them into word. They were printed and cut into strips. The strips were adhered and partly outlined in black pen.

And here is the back of the booklet:

The booklet is held together with discs.

That's all for now.

Please pop over to Crafts Galore Encore to see the DT's wonderful designs and to enter our challenge. 

We'd love to see your creations.

Remember the challenge is always 'Anything Goes' and so you can create any type of project - it doesn't have to be a card and you can enter up to 3 times.

Thanks for stopping by today!
