here comes santa claus...

today is my feature day at the gecko galz blog so i have 2 creations to share -- one is on our customer challenge theme this month "santa claus lane" and then another goodies just for fun.

supplies: gecko galz "dashing through the snow" paper pack; gecko galz "christmas chic" collage sheet; gecko galz "santa clause jewel it" collage sheet; ATC base; embellishments from my stash

instructions: i glued the paper to the ATC base and distressed the edges.  i added a die cut "flag", a paper flower, enamel dot and the sentiment (which i also distressed around the edges). after fussy cutting the woman and santa i glued them on last.

supplies: 2x2 twinchie base; gecko galz "dashing through the snow" paper pack; gecko galz "sparkle and shine" collage sheet; inchie arts base; embellishments from my stash

instructions: i covered the twinchie base with the paper and distressed the edges. i fussy cut the woman (josephine baker!) and glued her on.  i added the word and sparkly bits to finish the piece.
