Hello Peeps!!
Those who have been unfortunate enough to meet me in real life know that I am a "Funny Girl." I tend to goof off and for most part I am a bit Caddy Wonkus...lol.
The end of February I had the opportunity to go to the
Gecko Galz Cowgirl Diva Retreat
I was sooo excited to go, because I was finally going to meet Leanne, the owner of Gecko Galz.
Let me just say she is the sweetest person ever!
She came to the airport, picked me up, took me out to eat to many FUN places, let me stay at her place....and meet her friends
(that is a good sign..right??).
Well...while I was at the retreat Leanne set out a bunch of packets full of Gecko Galz ephemera, paper, ribbon etc..and each pack was different. Each of Galz got to pick out what which pack we wanted to work with. The idea was to create something awesome with your packet, and at the end of the retreat we would share them with each other and vote on things like...Most Creative, Most Beautiful...etc.
So....I decided to chose this awesome pack of vintage clowns and bright fun papers!! ORANGE...you know I LOVE ORANGE
(I know...crazy..and not flowery vintage...but I love it).
The other thing is, I traveled really light, didn't bring any crafty supplies so I only used items for the kit provided...which is AMAZING...lol...I NEVER do that...lol

Believe it or not...I have no idea what ribbons or trims I used...because they were all in the pack...lol. But..I know you could head over to Really Reasonable Ribbon and find some that would work perfect!!

I sat right next to you at the retreat and was FASCINATED at how you pulled this off! It's gorgeous and genius all at the same time! And super duper fun, too! Can't wait until next year's retreat!! (Hope I get to sit next to you again, too.) :)
ReplyDeleteThis is crazy awesome cool! Sooooo many details I don't even know where to look first. You really rocked that kit girlie. Love and huggs from your BFF.
ReplyDeleteThis is fan-clown-tastic! I love it! That Gecko Galz kit looks like such a fun one and it looks like you rocked it with the greatest of ease!
ReplyDeleteWish I could have been there...looks like you all had a great time!
BOLB Hugs!
This is quite possibly one of the most fun mini albums I have ever seen! I LOVE the color palette (I love orange, too...and talked my mother into using orange wall paper in our kitchen in 1974) and all those tags and pocketses and hidden goodies make me squeal with delight. You created your own three ring circus and I LOVE it!
