life is full of wonderful

Hello crafty peeps! Gosh, the month of January has gotten away from us already! Today is my Featured Post Day on the Gecko Galz blog and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project featuring a gorgeous image from the True Loves Kiss Collage Set, Bo Peep paper from Miss Muffet Paper Pack, Pixie Dust paper from Neverland Paper Pack, and sentiment from the Charming Words Collage Set. This is my last post for Gecko Galz and I’d like to shout out to Lee Ann and the rest of the team for having me along these last few months! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed myself!

Despite the complex look, this really was an easy card to put together. I love the colors in the background papers (which match her dress) and built the card elements and layers off the colors. The pop of gold really makes a hit.

I embellished the inside panel with leftover strips of paper and cardstock used on the front, and stamped a fun quirky sentiment. :P

And here’s one more look… very pleased with how this turned out. These images are so pretty!

I'm definitely what one could consider a crafting junkie! I love making cards, 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, mini albums and gift bags), mixed media projects, altering items, as well as occasional beading and making jewelry! Fortunately, hubby is very supportive! Life is good! :D View all posts by Leslie
