Gecko Galz ATC Challenge

       

These are my makes for the Gecko Galz


with a freebie image set.  



I used the ATC backs on scraps of dark blue card and then images from the image set.





I will link these to the challenge.

Happy Crafting!


WOYWW 814

            

It is Wednesday so I am linking to WOYWW at Sarah's craft shed

Follow the link to find out more about What's on Your Work Desk Wednesday and maybe join in... This is my post for WOYWW #814 



A busy desk today!
There is a heap of the Christmas cards we have received but as well you can see on the table easel a journal which has the results of the recent class by Niamh Baly in it:




 
On the desk itself is the first journal page from this year's Wanderlust. I hope I will complete more this year than last!


As you can see my current theme is
New Beginnings!

We have continued to help Sophie get furniture from IKEA, furniture and charity shops. I think she is about sorted now...


This is me testing out her new bed:


We have also been to the tip - there was rather a lot of cardboard to dispose of and there is a limit to how much I can use in the craft room!!


We also had a lot of polystyrene to get rid off. We thought it might be better for the landfill to dissolve it in acetone. Definitely lessens the volume hugely and an interesting experiment but expensive in acetone!



Even though Sophie has been pretty busy moving she has still had time to do some crafting!




Happy WOYWW and HAPPY 2025!

Happy New Year! Outlawz Songs and Rhymes January 5

 

Have you found the home of the Outlawz Sunday Song & Rhyme Challenge yet?

I do hope you will go and check it out! 

This challenge has no sponsors, but you do have the opportunity to win a top 3 badge.


Now on to the challenge!

 

Our Song/Rhyme this fortnight is from me





This is my card - inspired by New Year!

The image is from Vintage Image Craft


The card is made using a shaped card attached to a normal card blank.
I added the image on a DP mat. The sentiments were printed on the computer and added to a die cut from the same DP. Finally I added three small bows.


If you haven't already, please join our 
to stay up with all the challenges.
Thanks for playing along!




Happy Crafting!

Just popping in to wish everyone a very happy and healthy new year! 
(To amuse some of you 2025 is 45 squared)

Well - we are back home and still helping Sophie sorting out her new house. My desk just looks like a huge mess - my next job is to tidy up!


I have shared my Gecko Galz Mini album today but I will add more information on the 14th...


We spent our New Year's Eve at the theatre watching School of Rock,

 and then sat on the beach with a picnic to watch early fireworks!


Hope you have had a good New Year!

Happy WOYWW and HAPPY 2025!
