Hello Everyone!

We have 14 AMAZING blogs for you to visit this weekend, each with some gorgeous projects created using the Gecko Galz exclusive blog hop collage sheets, that we are giving you for FREE! Each blog you visit will have another free Gecko Galz Collage sheet for you to grab, the one here is "CHRISTMAS TIME". 

Also make sure you collect all the “secret” words on each blog so at the end of the hop you can send in the phrase to enter our drawing for a wonderful treat.  So sit back, relax, take your time and enjoy the hop! We have FOUR amazing prizes up for grabs:

 Read on to learn how you can win! First of all, you will need to visit all 14 blogs and leave a comment on each blog :) **This is important so we know you have been to all the blogs **. Collect all 14 words (one on each blog site except the home site) and at the end of the blog on the Fripperies and Butterflies site there will be a link to email the phrase to Gecko Galz. 

 This enters you in the contest. On November 2nd we will randomly draw the 4 winners and email each of you, then we will post the winning names on the Gecko Galz blog site.

 Thank you for joining the hop and enjoy your free collage sheet and my samples.

I am making all of my Christmas gift tags from now on, the ones you buy at the stores are either to small to write anything on or I just don't like them. I made five of them for the hop !

I cut the tags using the Sizzix die
The paper I used for the tag fronts are from my Christmas scrap draw.
I inked everything with brown ink.
Matching bows glued to the top and red and white twine for the hanger.


I also made one card.

White cardstock for card base.
Red cardstock for card front that I used a spellbinders
embossing folder.
White doily behind the image with red and green stickle dots on each side.

Here is the free collage sheet : Just click on it and save.

My October Gecko Galz Sample

Just a cute little birthday card

Love this little bird image fron the Birthday Bash 2 collage sheet, I matted it in blue.
The card base is white cardstock.
Card front is pink cardstock that I used a music embossing folder.
The ribbon is blue sheer that I had in my ribbon stash.

October Customer Challenge

I am late on this one, was suppose to have it up the 1st of the month. I have been having so much computer problems and it is driving me crazy !!! Here is my project :

Not quite sure why the inside of the card looks orange, it is pink.
The card base is pink construction paper.
The card front is from my paper stash.
The image  is from Gecko Galz Birthday Bash One and matted in black
The lace is some stickers from Dollar Store
The inside sentiment is also from Birthday Bash One.
Everything is inked with brown ink.
