I'm Back!!

 Well, that has been a long break...but I'm back! 

My  computer started to die a couple weeks ago and I was limping it along until I could get my new one. It arrived on Saturday and I had quite a time with getting it to work. I finally gave up on installing the Adobe Photoshop (it just will not load) so I am in search of a new photo editing app. If you have an EASY one you like - I'm mostly in need of being to add layers so I can add a watermark to my design team creations. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Now that I am back, I can share my creations I made for the Gecko Galz blog challenges this month. 

Hope you enjoy!!

Gothic Challenge - LOVE this image - she is beautiful!!

I made a page for my goth/Halloween journal.

Christmas - I made an "I" card - this is such a fun type of card to make, don't know why I don't do it more often. I like how you can see bits of the insides of the card.

Card Challenge - She's so very pretty and I got to use some of my new PET Journal Papers/Stickers (more on that later).

Fantasy Challenge. LOVE this image!! Decided to turn her into a Gothic Arch card. 

I really had fun with this arch.

Steampunk challenge...LOVE this - she's so cool looking isn't she? 

If you're so inclined there is still time to play. All you need to do is go over to the Gecko Galz blog, grab the free images and create! You might be the lucky winner of a $25.00 gift certificate to Gecko Galz!!

So, now onto other fun stuff... well, I have been known to watch FB Marketplace in case there is something I just can't live without. As it turns out I found an AMAZING deal on Saturday. A lady was selling a whole load of brand spanking new PET journal stickers, papers, journals, scrapbook embellishments and so much more all for $70.00.  

I have been wanting some of those clear PET journal stickers for a long time but they are SOOO expensive. Anywhere from 2.00 - 10.00 per package (of about 10 - 30 stickers). Way too rich for my cheap a$$. So we made a quick trip to Dunlap (about an hour away) and I snagged it all. I saw from the pics that there were some Goth/Halloween stickers which I was very excited about but from the pics I couldn't really tell what it all was.  WELL....when I started sorting I was thrilled...mostly all of it was my style!! 

This box is misc & flowers...

All flowers!!!

This box is full of Halloween, Goth and Steampunk stuff!!!

(BE STILL MY HEART!!!!)

MORE Goth/Steampunk/Halloween stickers....

I looked up some of the different stickers and they range in price from about 3.50 - 9.00 EACH package. There must be about 300-400 packages of stickers alone.  There are packages of paper that usually run 10-15 per set, rolls of PET stickers, Washi Tape stickers, and so much more.  I didn't even take pics of the scrapbook embellishments or journals.  I can not imaging what this person spent on all the stuff. I feel so very lucky and I've already started using them and organizing them.  I am just so crafty happy!!!
