Witches in the Air Tin

 Using a licorice tin purchased at a thrift store (5 for $1.99!!) I covered the top and bottom with the BINGO card from the Altered Artifacts sheet.  I also used the Witch inside from the Witching Hour sheet set.

Fallen Angel ATC

 I covered a 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" piece of chipboard with the Chicago Public Library Card from the Altered Artifacts, as well as the Angel Wings. Poe came from the Bump In The Night Collage Sheet Set.

Christmas BINGO Hanging

 I used the BINGO card from the Altered Artifacts sheet, as well as the image of the girl from the Old Fashioned Christmas Collage Sheet Set.

Vintage Card Basket

 Using the image of the girl from the Altered Artifacts sheet, I made this small version of the vintage crocheted card baskets.  So cute!

Beautiful Girls Tag

Well, it is March 1st, which means new products from Gecko Galz!  There are some great new sheets available, just head over to take a look!

I was inspired this month by a fellow Gecko Galz Design Team member, Heather Hudson.  I love her tags and wanted to channel my inner Heather and create something a little different.  It is hard to know if you need more or less embellishment.  Heather layers everything just right, adding in so many different elements. 

For my tag, I used a tag image that was a freebie on Heather's blog, My Artistic Adventures. She makes many images for herself, selling them on Gecko Galz and in her Etsy shop.  This freebie was a quick sheet that she put together.  I used the tag image and the word "Beautiful" from it. 

Supplies:

Tag Image - Heather Hudson's Blog Freebie
Images of Girls - Gecko Galz
Pearls
Doily - Wilton
Pink Seam Binding Ribbon - Really Reasonable Ribbon
Vintage circle image - Gecko Galz
Flower Image - Gecko Galz
Pink Satin Ribbon - Really Reasonable Ribbon
