Live In The Moment

 This is the fourth of five posts using Gecko Galz images and papers.  It is looking like I will get them all uploaded tonight.  I have no idea what tomorrow will bring so I want to get these done while the going is good.

My life is really hectic at the moment but I really wanted to try and complete all the January Challenges at Gecko Galz.  I need the sense of accomplishment that completing them gives me.  I'm not sure that February will be much better than January either.  This is the first of them (I hope to get most of them uploaded tonight):

I have used a digital paper, image and sentiment from Gecko Galz.  The image and sentiment are from the same kit.  I inked the edge of the card to match the mustard like colour in the digital paper.

 I am really off to a bad start for 2022.  For most of last year, I managed to get my progressive challenge cards completed by mid-month.  First month of this year and I'm within three days of the end of the month.

Be Mine, Love You

We are midway through the first challenge of 2022 at Jan's Digi Stamps.  We are highlighting some of the stamp sets that are on sale during January.

For the midway, I have used the black and white version of Sweetheart Candy.


I also used a digital paper from Lozzy.  Colouring is with copic markers.

I followed a tutorial from Sam Calcott for a Centre Panel Card
