25 Tags of Christmas

 It is the 25 tags of Christmas over on the Gecko Galz blog.  I created two tags for today featuring - you guesed it - Santa!!!!!

These Santas are so much fun!!! I can't wait to use them on gifts!!!

Yuletide Dreaming

 Today is my day to share my December DT project for Gecko Galz.  This year I decided to make my gift boxes so what better way to start than with this gorgeous Santa collage sheet. 

This metallic foil was perfect to showcase the Christmas Dreamland image.  I punched snowflakes out of the scraps, add bling and this little beauty was created. Then I used more of the images to create this art journal page, complete with more foil sknow flakes and free images from the newsletter.

I love these Santa images and could resist making a card with lots of sparkle.

My wall decor feautres free images from the newsletter and elements from stash.  I love how Santa and the little girl steal the show. 

I finished up with this quirky Christmas collage with this image from the Christmas Dreamland collection.

Winter Critters

Today I am sharing my Winter Critter projects for Conjurer of Dreams. https://www.facebook.com/groups/690288322484648 First up I created a 12x12 layout combining the winter barn with the majestic bucks Kim Rayko created for me as prize pack.

This was followed by 2 collages - 1 featuring the winter barn with the beautiful wolf and the other showcasing the steampunk polar bears.

For my exploding canvas I used the Vintage Blue Winter background with the filigree deer.

Of course my projects wouldn't be complete without cards - so I showcased the Forest Santa and the Steampunk polar bears!!

Enjoy!!!

Christmas Magic

 This month our theme at Gecko Galz is Christmas magic!!! Christmas is my absolute favorite time of year so I was super excited to create for this theme.  I had a lot of fun altering items this round - a clock, a container and a banner.  Of course I made Christmas cards too.  As you can see Santa is my favorite!!!  The cardinals featured are free images from the blog - be sure to check it out as free images are posted each day a DT project is featutred.  https://geckogalzscrapbooking.blogspot.com/.
