July projects for Gecko Galz

Welcome Friends!   Today I am sharing the projects I have created using new July products from Gecko Galz, and the new July Craft Kit.   I had so much fun creating in this fun beach theme with it's gorgeous vintage colors.  I just couldn't decide what to use!  I wanted to show off everything, so I decided on this shadow box to at least show you some of these amazing backgrounds and images!  These craft kits are stuffed with goodness!

Here I have an altered mini clipboard from the dollar store, this was so much fun to alter using lots of mixed media with Gecko Galz images.  This ship is a Tim Coffey diecut, but you can also fussy cut a ship from the icons in the kit, as I did on the mermaid card above.

  Don't forget to stop by the Gecko Galz blog and see what the rest of the team is creating!  On the first of each month the blog features the customer challenge entries created by the design team to inspire you, and throughout the month, the blog features the samples created by the team using the new products for that month.  It always amazes me how different everyone's samples are.  On July 3rd, I will be giving away another free digital stamp by Gecko Galz, so please come back and grab your free digi stamp and see what else I've created using our new July collage sheets and other products as well as images, icons, and backgrounds from the July Craft Kit!  

To create my sassy card, I began with a manila card base.  I printed out the striped background (sized at 5 x 7) from the Seaside Papers collection, and added it to the card base.  Next I added the sailboat background from the Seaside Icons 1 (from the July Kit Club).  The sassy girl is from the Poolside Princess collage sheet.  I printed her and fussy cut and added her to my card with pop dots.  The seagull is from a collection of sea related die cuts by Tim Coffey that I purchased a while back at Michael's.  I found my sentiment by using google images and typing in the words I wanted to use.  Everything has been inked with vintage photo.  Thanks for looking!
