Graphic Fairy and Gecko Galz Mini Album Tags

Hello Friends.
Today I had a little time to create a few tags to go inside of the paper bag mini album I am doing for Pam.
I am using some Gecko Galz and Graphic Fairy Images.
You should recognize my Collaged Fairy from my
There will be four of these shaped tags that will slide into the paperbags.  So just the wings will show outside of the album's edge. I used Ranger's distress ink in Vintage photo to distress all the edges of my die cuts (which I created with my Silhouette SD).  I then placed the white vintage frame on Pop dots...so Pam will be able to slide a photo in from the top.  The pink flower is from a piece of trim that I got on clearance at Joanns.  I love it!!  Added some May arts leaf trim..and liquid pearls in bisque.  
Here is a close up of the flower below.  
I just love the book page image that I used from Gecko Galz for my background.   The back looks exactly the same as the front...except there is a tag for journaling that fits in the frame

 I will post a photo of it as soon as it dries.
Hugs!!  Have a great day!

Gecko Galz & Graphic Fairy Halloween Tote

Hello Friends!!
Today I am going to share with you a collage that I created using
Halloween images from Gecko Galz and Graphics Fairy.
Plus a few of my own.
I did this for my own Challenge in my Digi Group at
I would like to share two totes that were created by two gals that have been faithfully watching my GIMP tutorials and participating in my monthly Challenge.
First is a bella I have known since the site was open..and that is 
Carol.  Here is her tote for my challenge.
 Isn't it Fabulous!!  You can click on her name above and it will take you to her blog post where she talks about it.   Both gals went over the top with their entries!  I am so proud of what they have learned in GIMP.
Another Fabby Bella,  Ellen created this fabulous Halloween bag below.  I just love it!
Both bags are just fabulous!!  This was the first challenge where we created our own digi image and were to put it on something fabric.
Here is my bag below
I used some butterscotch mist on this and stamped using stazon ink and my stamps.  The fabby flower is from Carol...she made it :-).
Here is a close up
I will get another picture of my tote this evening.  But you get the idea.  I used liquid pearls in bisque to go around the image, and some vintage lace at the bottom of the image.
I will be entering this into Shawn's Voila Ink, and Helene's Oh la la , 
Challenges at Bella Creations.  I will also be supporting 
Lacee with her new group over at Pamelajoypurses.
Hugs!!  Enjoy your day!!

Tags with Gecko Galz and Graphic Fairy Images

Hello Friends!!
Today I had a little time to create some of the tags that will be going into Pam's Mini Album.
For these tags, I used my favorite flower's images from 
Karen the Graphics Fairy and an awesome frame from this months
ephemera set from Gecko Galz.
Here are the 4 tags I created using my Silhouette SD.
All stamped images are ones I drew and carved myself.  I used Ranger's vintage photo for the stamping and inking of all edges.
These tags will go in the mini album I am creating for Pam for a swap we are in at Bella Creations.
Here is a close up below.  All four tags have a spot for journaling on one side..and photo opportunity on the other.
I am also adding these to Mandy's, Helene's and Jackie's challenges over at 
Here is a peak (still not finished) of what the tags look like sticking out the side.
I am sooo loveing this...very Heathery :-)
Hugs!!  Enjoy your day!
