About Me

Welcome to my blog

I started this blog in April 2012 so I could join Challenges. I am now on some design teams. I hope you like my cards. I started stamping in 1995 but my cards are still mostly cute.
Thank you to those who have joined as followers and to those who comment.
Unfortunately because of spammers I have had to put moderation on the comments. I will approve them as soon as possible, this also means I don't miss any.
I don't always get a chance to reply to all comments but I read them all when I approve them and I really appreciate you taking the time to give your comment.
The lovely banner was made especially for me by Amanda at Faery Ink Art & Design when I won her first blog challenge. family:";">http://faeryink.com/product/granmargaret-fairy-digital-stamp/

Journal Page for Gecko Galz

If you have signed up for the Gecko Galz newsletter you will have seen my journal pages on the September newsletter.  Each month one design team member is doing a journal page for the newsletter.
If you haven't already signed up to receive the newsletter each month go to http://geckogalzscrapbooking.blogspot.com.au/ to sign up.   When you receive the newsletter you can request the free digital collage sheet for each month.


I painted over both pages with Gesso primer
When dry painted both pages with Impasto Acrylic Paint and Tranquility Acrylic paint.
When dry Stamped waves with Salty Ocean Distress Ink.
Stamped Seawead with Mowed Lawn Distress ink and then painted them with Lime Peel Acrylic paint.
Added punched dolphins and drew bubbles with white gel pen, added silver rhinestones to some of the bubbles.
Printed precoloured mermaids from Gecko Galz Pretty Mermaids collage set and Tiny Mermaids collage sheet, cut out and layered on top.
Sentiments are from Miss Daisy Mermaid Sayings

Printed sea shells to make a border, cut out and layered on top.
