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

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!
