November Victorian Fantasy - GG DT projects

 Hello there.  Well today I am up on the Gecko Galz blog with my November Victorian Fantasy projects.  This theme really pushed me - which I love.  I love the era but don't often create with that in mind - so I really enjoyed this. I made a double page spread for my art journal, altered a tin, created cards, altered a postcard and created an additional collage for my journal. !!!

Steampunk challenge at Gecko Galz

 I have to laugh at myself - as the first version of this project had the wrong Steampunk owl for the September challenge. http://geckogalzscrapbooking.blogspot.com/p/gecko-galz-monthly-steampunk-challenge.html

So |I reprinted, was going to make a completely new collage and then when I laid the proper image down ... well I love the result.  Hope you do too!!!

GG Gothic Challenge

 Well I have done my first ever gothic challenge over on the Gecko Galz blog - there is still time to get your project in.  This is truly outside the box for me and I had a blast creating it. Hope you enjoy it.
