Gecko Galz DT Crazy Manniquins Ephemera Mini

Hello Friends and Visitors!!  Welcome to my blog.

Today I have a sweet vintage looking shaped mini album I created using this months "Crazy Manniquins" ephemera,  "Journal it Alphabet Soup", "Zen Garden Papers" and Acrylic Stamp sets "Garden Icons" and "Garden Journals" from

Gecko Galz.

I love the new releases this month..so check back...I will have some more goodies next week!!  I am also linking this up to 
Simon Says Stamp: tags this week (you should really check out the DT tags there this week...GORGEOUS).  I love to link up to Flutterby Wednesday: Stripes and of course you have to use a butterfly, angel or fairy...and they always have great inspiration there.  Lucky..my Dress form has stripes :-).  Once in a while...I get to squeeze in a project for The Shabby Tea Room.  I really love it there!!  This week is Mix and Match 3 patterned paper.  Awesome cards there..so please check them out!!

Here is the album

I used the "Journal it Alphabet Soup" to spell out Vintage and Chic.

I used the "Zen Gardens papers" through out the beauty.  

I used the Zen Garden paper called "Tranquility" and layered one of  Gecko Galz Digital stamps over it.  I love the way it turned out.  The dressform is stamped with the butterfly and round rose stamp which are part of the "Garden Icons" acrylic stamp set.  Perfect pearls in petal pink, Ranger Distress ink in Vintage photo and Adirondack Color Wash in Butterscotch were used through out this mini.  As well as perfect pearls in perfect copper.  Below you can see a close up of my Dusty Attic dragonfly.  

I used Perfect pearls in Blue Patina, and perfect copper to cover the dragonfly and then used a coat of UTEE.

Here is the first inside page, you can see how I created the shaped cover..so it wouldn't cover the fabby dress form from Gecko Galz.

Tiny Roses, May Arts and Websters trims used throughout as well as some antique buttons and trims of my own.

Here is a close up of the dress form :-)

Above I used the "Tea house" and "Water Garden" papers.  I created a tiny pocket to hold a manniquin bookmark.  Pink Gems as the centers of my flowers.  

You can see the Perfect pearls on the black.  The "Garden Icons"

stamps are fabby for this little gem!!  I used them on the black, and each of the dress forms.

This last page was made using the "Butterflies" paper from Gecko Galz.  This page is also just perfect for my Bella DT sister's challenge:  Spray ink challenge and Butterfly.  So check that out!!  Her challenges are super fun!  You also need to use Earth tones in this challenge.  Close up of my doodle button flowers.

Here is the back cover!!  You can really see the digi image (it is black) that I used over the "Tranquility" paper.  I really love the effect.  If you have not tried this, come and check out my group at 

Bella Creations.  You can learn the basics there...or just visit my Gimp Tutorial page.  I have some free youtube videos where you can learn how to use GIMP a free online program.

One more picture of the front.....
