autumn wings

2 digital pieces for this week's wings theme at cheeky challenge:

all images by dezinaworld.

background and key by gecko galz, all else by dezinaworld.

although i generally prefer to make actual "moos" for the moo mania and more challenges i am linking these two creations for the latest "fall foliage" theme there because my winged ladies are also autumn ladies.  i hope to make a moo later.

another nautical postcard; gecko galz inspiration

greetings! as a prompt to interest you in the "nautical" customer challenge theme at the gecko galz blog i am sharing another 4x6 postcard on this theme.

supplies: beachy keen paper pack by gecko galz; nautical collage sheet by gecko galz; seaside snapshots by gecko galz; she sells sea shells collage sheet by gecko galz; distress inks.

instructions: i started with a 4x6 cardboard base and glued on one of the beachy keen papers.  i distressed the edges.  i cut images from the nautical collage sheets (sailing ship and coast harbor advert) and fussy cut an image (the woman) and the children from seaside snapshots, as well as shells from the she sells sea shells collage sheet.  all were arranged and adhered to the postcard.  


how to play along with the challenge:  you must use at least one item from gecko galz.  you can find gecko galz papers at the etsy shop or freebies on the pinterest page.  link up your creation to the gecko galz blog.

come back next week for one more postcard share!

celebrate summer!

summer is a special season when the days are longer and usually sunnier.  even if we don't actually get a lot of playtime it kind of feels like we are.  my favorite summer thing is the beach.  for tag tuesday our prompt is "celebrate" so i am celebrating summer and beach vacations with my tag.

i really had fun creating a collage on this tag with items from gecko galz -- background paper from the beachy keen paper pack, images from beachy keen domino and 1x1 collage sheets and the girl from the august free collage sheet.  i added paper shells, a shimmery blue border, an ocean sticker and a sea star sticker.

remember that the challenge theme at gecko galz all month is "nautical" and you can play along as long as you use at least one item by gecko galz.

i'm linking to the "summer" challenge at moo mania and more, "anything goes" at inspiration destination, and "anything goes" (with sights of the beach) at 613 avenue create.

may your summer be wonderful. and if it is winter where you are, wishing you happy dreams of the summer ahead!

love to all.

quotes and sayings

we're challenged to use quotes or sayings in our tags at tag tuesday this week.  here's mine:

the sentiment is a stamp from silver crow creations.  the moon is from the harvest moon collage sheet by lunagirl and the dancing girl is from the bring on the dancing girls collage sheet also by lunagirl.  she is definitely flexible! the ribbon, prima flower, die cut border and background papers are from my stash.

i'm also linking to the three muses "quote" challenge and to the 
 inspiration destination "anything goes" challenge.

enjoy!  love to all.
