Hello Everyone!

I want to welcome everyone to the twelfth destination of
Gecko Galz 5th Annual Blog Hop

If you started here you might want to go back and start at the beginning at the Gecko Galz blog so you won’t miss anything!  
We have 14 AMAZING blogs for you to visit this weekend, each with some gorgeous projects created using the Gecko Galz exclusive blog hop collage sheets, that we are giving you for FREE! Each blog you visit will have another free Gecko Galz Collage sheet for you to grab, the one here is
"COLOR OF ART".
Also make sure you collect all the “secret” words on each blog so at the end of the hop you can send in the phrase to enter our drawing for a wonderful treat. 
So sit back, relax, take your time and enjoy the hop!

We have FOUR amazing prizes up for grabs:
·        First is a Gecko Galz shopping spree for $100!
·        Second prize is a $50 Shopping spree with Gecko Galz.

 This is a $150 value! Plus you get a prize pack from some of our favorite sponsors worth $150!
 Read on to learn how you can win!

First of all, you will need to visit all 14 blogs and leave a comment on each blog :) **This is important so we know you have been to all the blogs **. Collect all 14 words (one on each blog site except the home site) and at the end of the blog on the Fripperies and Butterflies site there will be a link to email the phrase to Gecko Galz.
This enters you in the contest. On November 2nd we will randomly draw the 4 winners and email each of you, then we will post the winning names on the Gecko Galz blog site.

For an extra chance to win make a purchase from the GECKO GALZ ETSY STORE between the 29 of October and the 1st of November and your name goes in again for a better chance of winning (each purchase you make that weekend gives you another chance to win)

Gecko Galz October Projects

Hi Crafty Friends, and welcome to my blog!   Today I'm sharing a few samples I've made from the new Gecko Galz October products.  I won't be giving away a digital stamp this month, but instead will be giving away a full collage sheet on October 29th through 31st as one of the stops along the way of our annual blog hop!  More details available on the Gecko Galz blog.

"Haunted Forest Shrine"
The wooden shrine is by sacrafters, and it's a perfect way to display Gecko Galz images!
"Happy Birthday Card"
The doilies are by Gina's Designs.
"Retro Birthday Card"
"Vintage Lady Card"

Thanks for looking!

The Gecko Galz October Challenge is Here!

Welcome Crafty Friends!  It's time for a new Gecko Galz Customer Challenge!  Please join us for the current challenge "Music in Me" from October 1st - October 29th.  There is only one rule.  You need to use at least ONE product from Gecko Galz.  It can be one of the free products, stamps, collage images, or digital background papers.  The winner will receive a $25 Gecko Galz shopping spree!

  Don't forget to stop by the Gecko Galz blog to see what the rest of the team created this month.  On the first of each month the blog features samples created by the team for the customer challenge.  We hope to inspire you to enter and win!  Then, throughout the month, the blog features more samples created by the team using the new products for that month.

Below is the sample with instructions that I have created for this month's challenge.
I began with a black card base.  I topped that with some digital music note paper that I found as a freebie with a google search.  On top of the white music notes I placed a black script paper from the Gecko Galz words and music digital paper pack.  It's one of my favorite go-to paper packs.  I then printed out some of our new Gecko Galz images including the gorgeous retro birthday girl image and the pink Happy Birthday mat behind her.  I fussy cut the birthday girl and used pop dots for dimension.  I added a couple of stickers that I had in my stash (the hash tag and the open music sheet).  I then fussy cut and added the pink flower from one of the icon images in our new October kit.   Thanks for looking!
