Happy Anniversary To A Very Sweet Couple

 This month's Progressive Freebie image at The Outlawz is a background stamp.  I printed it out twice and fussy cut three of the flowers in one of them and raised them up using mount tape:

Gecko Galz September Challenges

I am going to have to go with one post for all the Gecko Galz challenges again as I'm still having to limit my computer time.  I am hopeful that by the end of October that will change but only time will tell.  I'd also like to get back to the monthly theme challenge as I missed that one again this month.

All digital papers, images and sentiments are by Gecko Galz.  Coloring is with copic markers and watercolor pencils.

Enjoy the little things

I recently added a couple of sets from Beccy's Place to my collection.  Both sets included digital papers and used two papers from one of the sets for this card:


I have used two digital papers from Beccy's Place.  The image and sentiment are also from Beccy's Place.  I added some die-cut buttons in the colors from the paper and image.

This is the card that I chose to CASE.  I followed the original sketch and still used papers, image and sentiment from Beccy's Place.  However, I changed which of each I used.  I also changed the faux buttons from star shaped to standard button shape.

Let It Snow

 It is midway inspiration time for the August Challenge at Scribbles Designs.  This month, the theme is "Favorites"

I have used one of my favorite Scraps techniques.

I have used:

Scribbles Designs - Snowman Globe

Scribbles Designs - Let It Snow Quote

Scribble Doodle Designs - Snowflakes Digi Paper

Coloring is with copic markers and Kindy Glitz.

I followed a tutorial for a Scraps Technique by Anna Helman.

Thank You

 It is the start of the September Challenge at Incy Wincy Designs.  For this month, the theme is Colors of Autumn and/or Not Square or Rectangle.   The sponsors for the challenge are Last Minute Manda and Mirtillamente.



I have used an image from Mirtillamente called Ida.  I chose to work with the Colors of Autumn option.

I also used a digital paper from PixelScrapper.  I added some washi tape and some glitter dots.  Coloring is with copic markers and Kindy Glitz.  The sentiment is a stamped image (probably from a magazine but I'm not certain of that).
