 Well, long time no see! 

This past summer was quite an experience. I got not one but 2 medical issues that just took the wind out of my sails for a good long time.  I have finally recovered and am back to creating.

The beginning of the month is time for a new challenge at Crafts Galore and our sponsor is Conjurer of Dreams.

You all know how much I love Halloween so I choose to use the Plague Dr image to make this fun digital card design for a bit of Halloween fun!

Tweet Spring!

Welcome to May everyone!! 

Our theme this month at Gecko Galz is Tweet Spring!

I had such fun with this challenge...

I started off by upcycling a $ 0.25 plate into this lovely piece of wall art!

I was so thrilled to finally be able to use this vintage bird food tin (i've had it a couple years). I knew it would make a fun piece of art at some point.  I added scraps of thread that I cut off a tangled mess of bobbins in my stash. Makes for a fun "nest". 

I used one of the digital stamps from the Spring Blush set to make this watercolored book mark.

A fun Memory Dex card... with lots of glitter :)

Another image from the Spring Blush digital stamp set...this time turned into a card.

And finally a few Tweet Spring ATC cards which have been framed with some rust paper that I made myself.

Hope you are inspired to play along!

Be sure to check out all of the amazing designs this month on the

Gecko Galz Blog

for our Tweet Spring celebration!
