Spun Sugar - May DT Projects for Gecko Galz

 Today is my day up on the Gecko Galz blog.  May's theme is Spun sugar which screams sweetness to me so I did my version of sweetness.  First up we have Sweet But Sassy.  I upcycled a piece of corrugated cardboard, painted it, added a few sassy cowgirls - yes just like me - finished with a few pieces from my stash and the perfect wall art!!!  I love how this turned out with a rope edge for finish. You can find the sassy cowgirls here:

Next we have sweetness overload with this Spun Sugar cake topper.  I pulled in images from the newletter as well as the monthly challenge badge to add to this fun cake topper.  I cut the Happy Birthday out three times and then offset the layering and I love how it turned out.


And we finish up sweet innocence.  This card is made with my free image that was offered when my projects were featured in April.  Be sure to check out http://geckogalzscrapbooking.blogspot.com/ to get the free images on each day the DT members are featured.


Thanks for visting.  Don't forget to follow and comment.  And as always, create like crazy and cut with wild abandon.
