Once Upon A Time with Gecko Galz

Today I share my June DT makes for Gecko Galz - Once Upon A Tine.  The journey included the time of steampunk and storybook darlings. I used Steampunk Masquerade, Storybook Darlings 1 & 2 - Enjoy.

Remember to create like crazy and cut with wild abandon.

 

 

Card - inside out

Week #17 Inside Out

This one had me stumped for awhile!!! Mintay Papers Music Garden, Shabby Chic ephemera and Calm & Cozy gave me the push I needed!!! Next I grabbed the tri-fold card base and that is when the magic started!!! As you head inside the card each layer has more - opening up to a writing space which is actually the background from the Shabby Chic ephemera!! It starts simple and reveals more inside - this was a joy to make!

Mintay Art Journal Challenges

Did I mention how much fun I am having with these year-long challenges at Mintay Papers??? Well in addition to the card challenge and the layout challenge, there is a Art Journal challenge.  The freedom to just create is amazing.  We are already on week 20 - each week is a new prompt and a new challenge - I love it.  Here are some of my creations so far.

March jeeping is always a mixed bag - sun, mud and snow!! We always have fun. For this layout I used Mintay Papers The Great Outdoors Wildwood Secrets and Woodland cardstock stickers. I grabbed the mixed 9 stencil for some added inked elements. The white on the paper reminded me of snow so I had to use it. !!!!

February layout - I got to spend 3 glorious days with my twin niece and nephew in Victoria- my heart is full!!! Rain, shine and lots of hijinks!!!

For this layout I used Mintay Papers Lighthouse collection.
