March Gecko Galz Blog Challenges!

 Each month Gecko Galz hosts a variety of challenges on their blog. 

They provide an image and you create a project with that particular image.

I have so much fun with these challenges as they stretch my creative imagination. 

Here is what I created...

Gothic Challenge 

She looked like a flirty little ghoul so I partially tucked her behind a curved panel lined with black fur.  When the flap is opened the entire image is revealed.

Card Challenge

I wish you could see but all of the flowers in the image are 3D. 

Christmas Challenge

Love this color! Fun and unexpected.

Fantasy Challenge

A girl and her dragon dog tag pendant!

Steampunk Challenge

My favorite challenge of the month is this darling little fellow... He was just too much fun! He is 3D as well but he is also an easel card that stands up :)

The sentiment on the pocket watch says "Good Things Take Time".

Finally Gecko Galz hosts a Tag Challenge on their FB business page...

Hope you are inspired to play along!

Have a crafty day!

Crafts Galore Encore Challenge #144 February 2026

 Welcome to the Crafts Galore Encore February 2026 challenge. 

Crafts Galore Encore challenge theme as always is

Anything Goes 

and you can enter up to 3 different projects.

This challenge ends on 27th February at mid-day GMT.

This month our sponsor is Nikky from Polkadoodles.

Nikki is offering our random winner 3 digi stamps of their choice from her Etsy store. Head over to see the beautiful products she has in stock.

And here is what I created...

I made both of these creations by designing a card using  the digital stamps in Canva. These designs were then printed out on 110lb cardstock which I colored using a combination of Prisma colored pencils, a bit of ink and glitter.  Sadly the glitter wasn't captured in these photos. 

I originally designed the Bee Happy card but I loved that little reading bee so much I had to use him. He's just so darn cute!

I hope you are inspired to play and join in on the fun!!

Up for a Challenge?

 As always Gecko Galz hosts several challenges on their blog each month.  I'm a bit behind getting them done but there is still lots of time to play if you're so inclined!

Here is what I came up with for each of the Challenge images...
