Gecko Galz November Feature Post

Hello, my friends!

Welcome to my Feature Post for Gecko Galz!

On the 4th of each month, I will be sharing a project made with wonderful Gecko Galz products.

It will be posted here, on my blog, as well as over at the Gecko Galz Blog.
You'll also find a wonderful FREE digital image over there!
So go there...when you're finished here! 

In keeping with the "Santa Claus Lane" theme,
I have some fun Christmas cards to share with you. 

Isn't this a cute image?

It goes so beautifully with the tag and papers.

I added it with foam tape for some extra dimension.

Here's a closer look:

Gecko Galz Materials Used:

(Paper, Icon, Tag)

For this one, I colored the digi image with my Spectrum Noir markers.
I backed it with the Tim Holtz Postage Frame die.

Then I mounted it with foam tape on this beautiful paper,
and added it to a red cardstock card base.

Gecko Galz Materials Used:

Christmas Past Digital Papers

(Paper)

 Blue Christmas Craft Kit

(Digital Stamp)

Here I made a very simple card.

I just enlarged the image, matted it with red cardstock,

and adhered it to a white card base. 

Isn't it a wonderful retro image?

This is the card front.
It's gate-fold and accordion pleated, tied with a gold cord.

ACK!!! lol

Here's a closer look at the creepy clown.

He's not really creepy but I think he is as far as clowns go.

He's not nearly as friendly looking as most.

I did add a sparkle bling to his nose for a little extra fright! lol

Gecko Galz - October Customer Challenge

Hello, my friends!

Welcome back to a brand new Customer Challenge at Gecko Galz.

With it being October, the challenge is very appropriate:

Bump in the Night!

* * * * *

Now...this was a real challenge for me!

It's not a theme that I have done before.

To be honest with you...

...the first thing that came to mind was a dark room full of furniture! haha 

That's the kind of "bump in the night" I understand! ;o)

However, I put my thinking cap on and came up with something else!

Gecko Galz has LOTS of goodies that work for this theme!

Here's what I made:

Isn't it the most beautiful scene?

Yet if he popped out I think I'd scream! lol

...and where's the rest of him?

He can't all be hidden behind that skinny tree!

I really like scarecrows, and have a whole collection of them.

There's something about this guy that makes him a little frightening though.

I added a bead of Glossy Accents to his eyes to make him a little bit creepier.

Other Materials Used:

Papers: Recollections - Cardstock;

Ink: Distress Ink - Walnut Stain;

Glossy Accents;

Tool: Cricut Explore Air.
