Hello friends,

Today I am the featured artist at Gecko Galz so, for the month of December Tags for your inspiration..... I made a series of tags  to share with you. Stop by Gecko Galz for all sorts of inspiration, there even is a Facebook Page if you want to join the community to connect with like minded creators.

To make these,  they all started with a large tag. I work on the background first,whether  gelli printed or decorative paper. Layering comes next with chipboard shapes, doilies, die cut shapes or paper. The Gecko Galz image is next all from the Holly and Ivy collage sheet, sometimes I cut them out. The embellishments come next... with glittery Stickles, holly leaves and berries, paper quilled items, and stickers. The sentiment are next. The final piece is tying the pretty bow on top. I'll use these as Christmas cards for friends who can tie them on their trees.

Happy Holidays,

Gerri

The Queens Pavillion Junk Journal

 Hello Friends,

Tody I am the featured artist at Gecko Galz, so I am offerring inspiration with my first ever Junk Journal. I really enjoyed the process and will definetly make more.

To make this, I start by building up the background with patterned paper in a blank little book. My main pretty female  images are from The queens Pavillion Junk Journal Kit  from Gecko Galz that I print and then  cut out. The embellishments include gold ribbon trims, stickers, patterned chip board shapes like the castle or unicorn, shiny German scrap trim, Stickles glitter and paint and finally a stamped chipboard door(that opens on the cover). The  last finishing touch is always the sentiment. The more layers the better, that what I always say. 

Hope you are having a magical week,

Artfully yours,

Gerri
