Gecko Galz Fall, Into Autumn

Is it beautiful where you live?

It is here.

Mind you, this is my most favorite month.

Glorious Autumn.

I made some samples to help get your creative juices flowing,

using Gecko Galz products:

These were all done digitally, using images from
the Autumn Magic Digital Stamp Set.
I just painted them.
(That's why there are kind of messy. lol)
and a few ATC's:

These ATC's we so easy.

I printed out background papers from the

Gypsy Market paper pak.

I used a flourish stamp 

(sorry, it's so old, I could not tell you who it's by

even if my life depended on it.

I embossed the flourish using

Ranger Gold Embossing Powder

 I printed out images from

the beautiful Autumn Magic digital stamp set 

and coloured them with various Ranger Distress inks:

Mustard Seed, Rusty Hinge, Shabby Shutters, and

Orange Marmalade.

Then I just looked in my box of treasures which never seems to

get any smaller

and embellished them just the way I wanted to.

Pop dots for the image and

there you go!

Autumn ATC's!

You can make any thing  at all with images

and papers from the 

Gecko Galz Etsy Shop

But you already know that don't you?

You also know that each month all the

DT members have a free stamp for you, right?

Here is this month's from me:

Here is an example I did for you.

I just printed it out on cardstock and coloured it to make an ATC.

And don't forget to enter the 

Fall Into Autumn

Customer Challenge

for the month of October.

and to wrap up,

here is my sample for the customer challenge:

You can find all the deets

I hope to see you there!

Pink Christmas

Each year in October, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Stephanie and Lauren 

at 

Jingle Belles

host a challenge where they ask everyone to make holiday cards that are, 

(as the title suggests, lol) *PINK*... and then 

they each donate $2 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation 

for each card that gets linked up. 

Even though I don't often get to link up with them

and make too many cards,

I wouldn't miss this for anything.

I made a few pink cards for the cause:

You have until October 19th,

 plenty of time to get in on

Pink Christmas too!

Get all the deets HERE

And Link Pink

for the cause!

See ya over there!

But soon!

And I have created some Halloween projects

to get you feeling spooky and inspired!

Every day at

Gecko Galz

you will find excellent sources of inspiration from

our talented Design Team, PLUS

each day there is a free digital stamp for you,

 this month in Halloween themes,

hauntingly good projects!

 All of my projects use spooky Halloween

elements and papers from the

Gecko Galz Etsy Shop

I can tell you how I made this  next one:

The background paper is from the Arsenic and Old Lace Paper Pak.

Over that place stamps from the Nevermore Digital Stamp Set 

and change the blending mode of each to

Multiply.

Over that add wordart from the 

Arsenic and Old Lace Icon Set,

colouring it red and applying a simple inner bevel style.

Add a brush splatter at the top in the same blood-red.  

Apply the same bevel to that as well.

And you are done!

Speaking of free stamps, here is yours for the month:

And here is what I did with it:

Just in case you're not spookified enough yet...

Be afraid.
Be vewy afraid.
