Gecko Galz: A Spot of Tea + Freebie Xmas in July Collage Sheet

July 23rd 2025

 Before I share my creations I have a "freebie" collage sheet to share with you as part of the Gecko Galz "Xmas in July" month - if you visit all the DT you can grab a sheet from each one of us!

I've created a couple of altered playing cards using these images which are the perfect size for smaller creations!

I am also sharing my altered double tag made using an image from the "A Spot of Tea" collage set - just love the "tea themed" images! Patchwork background uses the little square images from the Nouveau Garden Jewel It collage set along with a heat embossed stencil embellishment.

Gecko Galz: Wish Upon A Star

May 24th 2025

Make sure you join the current challenge at the Gecko Galz Blog - Wish Upon A Star theme! I've created an journal page using an image from the "Wish Upon a Star" Collage sheet.

Star stencil is from my local scrapbook store and I've used embossing paste and Wow embossing powder. Background stamp embossed in gold is also from my local scrapbook store (Natalie May Scrapbooking). Love that I can combine my local store products with the Gecko Galz digital/prinatble collage sheets.

Gecko Galz: Natures Spring Goddess

April 27th 2025

An altered tag using one of the images from the "Natures Spring Goddess" collage set and tiles from the Nouveau Garden Jewel It set available in the Gecko Galz Etsy Store.

I wanted to create an old/weathered background so I used the jewel it images like tiles and then added crackle paste and verdigris embossing powder to give an aged and rough look. "Earth Angel" wording is also available from Gecko Galz - "Charming Words" Collage Set - has a good range of words for using on your projects!.

Gecko Galz: Lots of Bunnies!

April 25th 2025

Sharing my "Bunny" creations for Gecko Galz!

Firstly a set of tags using images from the "Spring Bunnies" collage sheets available in the Etsy Store!

Background stencils are from my local scrapbook store: Natalie May Scrapbooking. I've also used Lindy's Magicals on each tag background.

I also created a mixed media journal page with an image from the "Jelly Beans Digital Stamp Set".

Stencil and background collage paper from local scrapbook store and I've used Lindy's magicals again.

Make sure you check out the Gecko Galz Blog for lots of DT inspiration and also the Facebook Group - lots of challenges and prizes to be won on both sites!
