Gecko Galz goes Industrial

with a whole new, very cool line of Industrial digital stamps.  These are so perfect for Steam Punk, they have to be seen to be believed.  Check them out here.  And what is even cooler is that these stamps are going to be featured in the Quick Cards Made Easy Magazine. 

The Gecko Galz team was offered a chance to play with these new Industrial stamps and here is my take.  I call this altered piece Bottle Babe or The Clock is Ticking.  And check out the rest of the team's amazing work here.


I used soft pencils and Art Anthology paints to add color to the dress and show off the flowers that adorn it.  The dress is printed onto photo paper and the middle cut out.  I glued it onto a bottle so the front was open.  On the back side of the bottle I glued an enlarged pocket watch and used Art Anthology Vegas Gold Sorbet Dimensional paint to out line the clock.   As always, thanks for looking.

Live the Dream with Art Anthology

I'm up on the Art Anthology blog today with a paper covered canvas.  Since I posted this on the blog, I have jazzed it up a bit more in honor of my granddaughter, Leighton, whose picture is on the project and who loves all things glitzy and foo foo.


For directions on how to create this paper, the products I used and how to print on canvas, check it out on the blog linked above.

Gecko Galz January challenge

                                 "All You Need is Love"

These are my projects using the amazing new papers, digital stamps and collages available at Gecko Galz.  On this link, you can find the place to order these wonders for yourself and check out what the rest of the team has created.  Don't forget, you can enter the monthly contest to win even more Gecko Galz goodies.

My first two projects are muslin bags for Valentine's Day gifts.  I printed the Gecko Galz images onto iron on fabric and papers and arranged them on the bags.  I trimmed the little bags with ribbons and voila!




Using a different set of papers and digital stamps, I also made a Valentine's Card for my true love.




Happy New Year's to all!  May this year bring you love, prosperity and happiness abounding.

My annual Christmas project

Every year I try to create something for our home for the holidays.  I've done wreaths for our door, candle holders, an angel for the tree and more.  This year, thanks to Art Anthology and Stampendous, I made this pretty wreath for our Christmas tree.

Happy Holidays to one and all.

Gecko Galz Christmas Projects



This is my card made with our cross promo for December with Robyn Gough.  I created a shaker card using one of the Gecko Galz collage images and ornament image and the background paper from Robyn.  I love how this one turned out.  It is one of my favorites for sure.

I made this gift tag from another of the digital collage downloads from Gecko Galz.  I am never disappointed in the wonderful variety of stamps, papers, and images I get from GG.  (pardon the colors in the photo...they are much more vibrant in real life). 

Have a great holiday!
