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. !!!!

Nutcracker Dreams

Here are my November Gecko Galz design team projects.  These nutcrackers are so gorgeous and for the first two cards I used Mintay's round card base and the house card base. 

 

 

Of course, traditional bases were used too for more fun, festive cards.

Then I did two layouts that are headed for calendars!!!

Sea Goddess

Today I get to share my June creations for Gecko Galz Sea Goddess theme.  This was such a fun theme!!!  I created this 12x12 layout  pulling in some Goddess of the Sea images, with fish camp images along with the goregous Mintay lighthouse chippie and Graphic 45 paper. 

I also had a blast creating the pop-up post card - which be making its way in the mail shortly, along with these fun sea themed cards.  Yes there is a wee bit of snark too. 

I wrapped it all up with an 8.5x11 layout that will likely become part of a 12x12 for my niece's calander.

I used the following sheets that can be found at https://www.etsy.com/shop/geckogalz:

Goddess of the Sea Collage Sheet

Nautical Mile Collage Sheet

Fish Camp 1 & 2

Seven Seas Card kit

Wish Upon a Star

 Today I am sharing my Wish Upon a Star creations for Gecko Galz.  This is such a fun theme with so many possibilities!!!  

For this layout, I showcased one of the beautiful images from the Wish Upon A Star collage sheet by adding it to layers of torn paper and embellishing with vellum flowers from Uniquely Creative.

For the next two page toppers/edgers I used multiple layers of scraps to showcase the beautifull Wish Upon a Star images.

And finally a birthday card - just because.

Anything goes!!!

 Hello everyone, today is my day on the Conjuer of Dreams blog https://kimsconjurerofdreams.blogspot.com/.  This month I decided it was time to return to some 12x12 layouts - it is amazing how much I miss doing these.  I let my inner rustic girl come out and pulled a variety of western, steampunk and rustic elements to go with pieces from my stash.  I am so pleased with how they turned out!!!  I don't plan a layout around photos - I do the layout and let the pictures fit where they may.

Hello everyone here is the start of my latest project using a Graphic 45 Square tag and pocket album as well as the Tropical Travelogue, City Scapes and Penny's Paper Dolls Family collections.  I decided to change things up, turn the album into a suitcase and build a little steamer trunk to go with it.

This was a very fun project.  The only plan I had was the products I was using, after that, it was simply whatever my creative brain came up with.  I must say I have the most fun when I just start sticking stuff down and just let the process happen.  One of these days I may plan a project out start to finish....or not...

So here is a quick video of the finished project - I hope you enjoy it.  I look forward to seeing your comments.  Happy crafting!!!!

Where it all started...

Wow February already - today winter has finally come and we actually have some winter temperatures -13 C at the moment.

As you know my latest obsession is mini album building - and I have about 50 ideas floating around in my head so be prepared - they will start coming as soon as I can make them a reality.

But for now, I have returned to where it all started for me - 12 x 12 albums.  Of course now there will be flips and flaps because seriously how could there not be.  To accomplish this I am using my fuse tool by we are memory keepers.  I will upload a video of this later as the recording I thought I was doing didn't happen - helps if you turn the camera on.😁

So here is a quick montage of the first few pages.  Hope you enjoy and I will post more as we go along - I truly love the 12 x 12 format.  Happy crafting everyone.
