Seaside Shabby Chic

Welcome to August, peeps!

And welcome to a month of a new challenge at

Gecko Galz Scrapbooking

Isn't that an awesome theme for the month?

Here is something I made for this theme:

This was such a fast and easy

piece to make.

I use Photoshop Elements for my digital scrapbooking.

The background is a paper from the

Seaside Paper Pak

I used the Summer Girls collage Sheet set

for the image of the woman.

I cropped it, then placed it over top of the background paper.

I erased around it.

Then I added the sign icon from

the Seaside Craft Kit,

along with a post from my stash.
I merged the layers and applied a film grain filter.

Lastly, a stitched border, again from my vast stash

and we're done!

How much easier could it be?!

(The truth is, I almost forgot to do this in time

for the new month and had to whip it

up really quickly last night at midnight-lol)

But you don't need any reason to miss out on participating in this fun 

August Customer Challenge.

You can get all of the Gecko Galz products I used at

our Etsy Shop, and lots more!

Seriously.

You'll want to check it out and hopefully you will play along with us.

Get all the deets on this wonderful

Customer Challenge

$25 Gecko Galz Shopping Spree !

You still have the whole month of August
to link up your project.

We look forward to seeing what you make!

Feature Day

Today  is my day to be featured on the 

Gecko Galz Blog

for our 

Midsummer Night's Dream Monthly Challenge theme.

Here are my samples for the month, along with

the Gecko Galz products I used to make them:

Midsummer Night's Dream Collage Sheets Set

Nouveau Garden paper pak

Butterfly Dreams paper pak

Butterfly from the Parisian Garden Craft kit

Midsummer Night's Dream Collage Sheets Set

Magnolia Blossoms paper pak

Midsummer Night's Dream Collage Sheets Set

Wonderful Watercolour ATC backgrounds set

Namaste paper pak

flower from the La Boheme Craft kit

Charming Words Collage Sheet Set

If you have been here before,

you know how I make these digital pieces.

Using PSE13, I layer

the images, papers and icons I want,

accenting them with borders and brushes

from my monster stash.  lol
I seem to be on an "add a stroke to everything" kick,
so I have done that with each layer this month.
It will pass. haha

And in the case of my second sample, I did add a beautiful frame
by Kimeric Kreations.  Kim passed about a year ago and
her talent and generosity in sharing that
talent knew no bounds.
I still miss her.

You have until the end of the month to

Midsummer Night's Dream challenge

and you can find more glorious examples

from the rest of our talented Design Team 

here.

Will we see you there?

I sure hope so.

And thanks for coming by!
