Upcycled Twig Ornaments

 Hello Everyone!

The current quarterly challenge at Gecko Galz is Altered Ornaments!

Today I created a little set of ornaments using a recycled twig ornament as my base.  These had a bell and holly hanging in the center of each twig frame so I took that off (and saved it for another project) and went about adding various collage image elements from several GG collage sheets.

Each ornaments is backed with a patten from the Country Christmas 2 collage sheet then I added various elements from Altered Christmas, Christmas Scraps, Compliments of the Season JJ Kit and Vintage Christmas JJ Kit. The girls are from the Vintage Christmas JJ kit as well. I added a few goodies from my Christmas embellishment stash to finish them off! So happy with how they turned out.

Magical ATC's & Mini Note Books

 Good Friday the 13th Morning to you all!

Hope you're having a wickedly fun day :)

Today I have a couple projects to share...

First is a set of magical ATC cards I made for the Gecko Galz ATC Challenge for September. These were made using the collage sheet called High Priestess.

Lots and lots of glitter glue was used in the making of these puppies!

Gotta love that sparkle :)

I also made a couple mini note books for their main challenge - Stay Wild Moon Child.

These of course also have a bit of bling to them. I added a bit of ribbon for a place marker. 

Hope you're finding time to create!

It's my sanity and I feel so much better when I do.

Gecko Galz Collage Image Challenges

 Been playing with the new challenges over at Gecko Galz - they always have such cool images to play with.  Here's what I've made so far....

Christmas Challenge - isn't he just darling :)

For the Fantasy Challenge...I love this unicorn. 

There is some glitter pen work in the background which isn't showing.

This is the tag challenge on their FB Business page. 

You just make a tag and incorporate this lovely image.

The Steampunk challenge. The red mat is velvet paper! It looks amazing with the copper die-cuts and red gemstones.  

The owl is for the Card Challenge. It's such a beautiful image with the black and gold. The background paper has a gold luster to it and the leaves are gold foil. LOVE how this one turned out.

Finally the Gothic Challenge was the stack of books/hat/candle. I am making a Goth/Halloween journal so I knew I had to use it in here. The sentiment is from Conjurer of Dreams. 

So there you go...this is what I did with a bit of spare time, a little glue, some paper and lots of ink. Hope you all are having a crafty time of it.
