Halloween pocket card - with Gecko Galz

It's my turn again to be featured over at Gecko Galz.

Today I'm using an image from the collage set Boo-Tiful Halloween and I decided to fussy cut the image of the sweet girl and her cat. As you can see on the pics below I made the star paper stand out by folding the edges in a z shape. I also added to small strips of paper to make a stop so that I can add a gift card or maybe a small treat.

The wooden letters can be found at Calico Craft Parts.

Challenge time with Gecko Galz! The theme is Witching Hour and you find it on the GG blog:

I used one image from a set called Boo-Tiful Halloween Collage set. The card I made is about the size of a ATC and it's a nice size to attach to flowers, baskets and other gifts :-)

Sun, moon & stars - with Gecko Galz

Månadens utmaningn hos Gecko Galz heter "Sun, Moon & Stars". Varför inte vara med? :-)

Denna gång gjorde jag några minikort (ca. 5x5 cm) med motiv från ett set som heter Sun, moon stars.
Kanten på minikorten är färgade med en glittrig färg från Lindy's Stamp Gang som heter Starburst Stain (nyans: Bachelor Button Blue).

Längst ner i inlägget ligger även några projekt jag gjort tidigare med Gecko Galz men som tyvärr inte hamnat på bloggen... Förrän nu :-D

For this challenge I made 3 mini cards (2x2) with images from the Sun, moon stars digi set.
The edge of the cards is a Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst Stain in the shade called Bachelor Button Blue).

All the way down on this post is a few older Gecko Galz projects I made but that were not blogged about until now :-D

Garden of Dreams - with Gecko Galz

Ny utmaning med Gecko Galz! Temat är: Garden of dreams.
