Gecko Galz November Customer Challenge Time

Our theme for the month is "Deck the Halls" ! Christmas is one of my favorite creative times. Here is my sample:



I alway send out around 50 cards at Christmas time so my cards are usually the clean and simple side. I alway make my card A2 size (which is 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches - for anyone who is new to card making). The image is from Gecko Galz "Christmas Carol" November 2014.  Love the lil guy in the middle of the wreath !

Go on over and join in the challenge on the blog for a chance to win some goodies from Gecko Galz!

Gecko Galz Customer Challenge For October

I am so loving the fact that I now live in a place where you can see the changes of seasons.......so much color in Colorado. Not much in my yard.......alittle of my trees are changing - guess my trees are late changers !!!! Which takes us to the theme for October "Fall into Autumn". Here is my sample for the challenge:
                                                         
                                                         

Just a simple cards with one of my favorite things "BIRDS" and the colors of fall ! The card front is a nice orange cardstock that I embossed with a swiss dot. The image I printed on a light orange cardstock which made it alittle more orangey !

No free stamp this month because we are having our annual Blog Hop where you can get alot of free collage sheets so come back and join us Oct. 27-31st
