This is mainly coffee themed - with a cupcake to go with the coffee!

The Outlawz Challenges - January Linky
https://outlawzchallenges.blogspot.com/2023/12/january-2024-linky.html

I used two different coffee bean papers from PixelScrapper (they came from the same set).  The images are both from Sheepski Designs.  I recycled some cardboard from packaging for the tag base.  I also added some ribbon and some shiny heart stickers.

If friends were flowers I'd pick you

 This is the January Image for the challenge at Beccy's Place:

Beccy's Place - January Challenge
https://beccysplace.blogspot.com/2024/01/january-challenge.html

I have used a digital paper from Beccy's Place. The image and sentiment are also by Beccy's Place.  Colouring is with copic markers.  I added some pink flower ephemera to continue the flowers theme of the card.

Hearts

Today I just felt like pottering around rather than doing what I was supposed to be doing (housework).  As a result, I ended up creating a few cards.

Beccy's Place - January Challenge

I used three digital papers from Beccy's Place - they aren't part of a set but I thought that they looked good together.  The image is also from Beccy's Place.  Colouring is with copic markers.

Love You To The Moon and Back

 This was the partially completed card that I referred to in a couple of yesterday's posts.  The weather got worse (thunderstorms) so I managed to complete this one as well.

Gecko Galz Theme Challenge - All You Need Is Love
https://geckogalzscrapbooking.blogspot.com/2024/01/january-challengeall-you-need-is-love.html

The digital paper and image/sentiment are from Gecko Galz.  I have 2 lovely sets of watercolour paints from Gansai Tambi that I barely use but thought it was the right depth of colour for this image so pulled them out and had a play.  One of the sets is 6 shades of gold so I used three of those and the other is pearl colours of which I used 5 of the 6 colours.

Coastal Sunshine

 I have managed to use some of the "scraps" from my scraps boxes.  I don't like to throw out the offcuts from other cards and I find that many of them work with sketches.  I probably need to do a few more cards like this to make a reasonable dent in the scraps though.

I have used papers from paper pads by Kaisercraft.  The image is from The Paper Shelter.  Colouring is with copic markers and Wink of Stella.

This is the sketch that I followed:

This is the final post for my completed projects to enter the Gecko Galz Challenges.  The only one that I haven't done this month is the Theme Challenge which I may or may not find time to do.

Gecko Galz Gothic Challenge - January Image
https://geckogalzscrapbooking.blogspot.com/p/gecko-galz-monthly-gothic-challenge.html

I have used a digital paper (which perfectly matched the image colours), image and sentiment from Gecko Galz.  I added some stars to the digital paper.

Steam Punk Kitty

 It is currently raining fairly steadily here so I guess anything outside isn't getting done today.  So, I have ended up writing the rest of the posts for the Gecko Galz Challenges I am entering (one more to post shortly).  I may even get to the one that I haven't completed yet too.

Gecko Galz Steampunk Challenge - January Image
https://geckogalzscrapbooking.blogspot.com/p/gecko-galz-monthly-steampunk-challenge.html

I have used a digital paper, image and sentiment from Gecko Galz.  I also added some die-cut kitties using a Memory Box.  I also added some light silver Nuvo Mousse to the kitties although it is quite hard to pick up in the photograph.
