Today one of my Christmas tags is featured on the Gecko Galz Blog here.  Be sure to go to the blog and become a follower, because........

This month is our last month of Holiday happenings with our 25 tags of Christmas and with that we will be giving gifts to our followers each day for the 25 days we feature a new tag.  

I used the Christmas Cuties collage sheet found at the Gecko Galz Etsy shop.  The background is tag board covered with modeling paste, then etched, and painted green.

Gecko Galz Design Star

I 'm very excited to announce that I have rejoined the Gecko Galz design team after a long hiatus.  

 

You will find a new blog post from me on the fifteenth of each month which will showcase my samples using Gecko Galz digital images. December 15, 2024, will be my first such post. Be sure to come back here on the 15th of each month to see what I created.  In between time. you will find additional posts from me linking to Gecko Galz to see what our entire team is up to.

The first of each month, Gecko Galz posts a newsletter chock full of exciting news.  Since there are monthly contests using Gecko Galz images, the winners are listed along with the new challenges.

The monthly card challenge for December is Yuletide Dreams.  

For this challenge you may use any Gecko Galz image for your interpretation.  Here is my card sample using Yuletide Card Toppers.

Mermaid Gift Box

I won digital tin toppers from Gecko Galz.  I used one of the images from the Mermaizing Tin Toppers sheet.  Using acrylic paint, I painted a box (rather than a tin), blue and then used bubble wrap painted green to stamp onto the box some "bubbles".  After adhering the mermaid image, having distressed the edges with Ranger ink, I added several pearls, Prima Melange Art Pebbles, other baubles, a costume jewelry earring, and a touch of Viva Perlen-Pen Magic Transparent shimmering beads.
