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/

25 days of Decking the Halls with Gecko Galz

Each day at Gecko Galz this month will show a project by someone on the design team. Today is my turn to add my project.
http://geckogalzscrapbooking.blogspot.com/

I have made a calendar page for 2019
Used calendar template from Digital Scrapbooking Studio and added precoloured images from Gecko Galz Snow Maidens collage set and Snow Time collage sheet.  I think Snow Time was one of the free collage sheets I received with an order.  Every time you order on Gecko Galz you receive a thank you email with a free collage sheet.

I hope you will go over each day and see the lovely work by the design team.

Also don't forget to join in the December challenge Snow Queen
