Happy New Year 2022

Another year here and it has started worse than the year before! Never did we image that would happen right! 

I am already looking forward to it ending, hopefully in a much better state then we have started it.

With all that in mind, I decided to use the Happy New Years Collage Sheet for my January 2022 Gecko Galz Design Team projects.

So a new bookmark and a wine tag.

Yes the bottle is empty....I have to say, the bottle is beautiful and is a momento that my daughter and I both bought one of to remember our first girls weekend away for her birthday - it just happened to be when the Toilet Paper saga of 2019 started, and yes a week later we home and into lockdown! 

We did happen to get a bulk pack of toilet paper and that in itself was an experience too!

Anyway, not that you really needed to know all that.

Of course I used my Wine Tag die by Jaded Blossom with some black card and some Silver Glitter card. 

Added my image and then a couple of black rhinestones to complete it.

My bookmark is again black card with the corners rounded.

Added a couple of Lace min doilies by PortaCraft that have a lovely gold fleck through them.

Then a purple and a green acrylic gemstone to pick up the purple and green in the image.

A piece of ribbon and lace through a punched hole and we are good.

I hope I have inspired you to go into your crafting area and create - or the very least to check your toilet paper stash!

You have until the 29th of January to get your entry into our Challenge.

I hope to see you there!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Happy New Year 2022 !!!

Oh my, how is it a new year already!

This year has literally flown by - not our best year so maybe a good thing it went quick.

So with the Nursing Home I work at being in hard lockdown, I decided to make some bookmarks for the residents I have been visiting each day as their social point of contact.

I used the Toast to the New Year Collage Sheet by Gecko Galz which you can get as a freebie until Saturday night by spending $2 in the Etsy shop.

So I got my Jaded Blossom Wine Die out and black card stock and used that as my base. I then used the second part of the die to die cut my image.

I added a saying on top of the image before printing. 

Oh my, don't upgrade to Windows 11 if you want your programs to work as you know them to. I can not get my Word program to function as it used to and had to do this in Photoshop (PSE).

Anyway, added a piece of ribbon and I was done.

Happy to say that the residents that got one loved them and it made all the behind the scene dramas worth it!

I hope you all have a wonderful New Year Day and please stay safe.

Wear your mask and hand hygiene. It's not that difficult and a small price to pay for your sanity by not having to endure lockdown conditions.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

12 Days of Christmas

Day 11 already!

Such a busy day today in our household, plus afternoon shift as well!

Did the last of the Christmas food shop, got my booster needle and soon afternoon shift.

I am so ready for Boxing Day and having a day off!

I wanted to get this one done before I ran out of time, as no telling how I will feel when I get home tonight.

I used my mop up index card from Day 2.

My Wine Time saying is from Art by Marlene's So-Fish-Ticated Paper Elements pack (lucky it arrived this morning!).

The cocktail is cut from a P&O Brochure - oh to be cruising again!

And the Christmas Coffee cups and saying is from a craft swap with my crafty girlfriend.

See you tomorrow, wonder what our last one will be!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Gecko Galz Monthly Image Challenge

Gecko Galz Monthly Image Challenge for this month had me thinking of wine!

I added her to my Coffee Stained signatures I am using for the monthly challenges.

I googled for some fun wine sayings and this one was perfect! I used one of my gel pens and wrote it in.

Time is short for me at the moment, so this is perfect for me to do something quickly but still be creative.
