A little Bio about our Sponsor:

Gecko Galz is a digital craft products shop that was started by a group of paper artist and designers who wanted products that they could not find anywhere else. They wanted to bring their love of paper arts and altered art works to others and inspire them with beautiful papers, stamps and ephemera. The idea of Gecko Galz came to fruition in 2012 when they opened their shop on Etsy and since then have offered hundreds of products, ideas and classes to others world wide.

PRIZE: $25 shopping spree with Gecko Galz at the Etsy shop.

Through the Craft Room Door Challenge 12-19-2018

Hi, crafty people! We've begun a new Anything Goes challenge over at TTCRD! And this week we have M. Medel Illustrations

Prize: 3 images

A bit about our sponsor:

"Hi there! I've doodled since I can remember (on table cloths, street guides, text books, walls and finally, for my parent's relief, sketchbooks). What I love the most is to create adorable characters for both adults and children and bring them to life. That's why I became an animator and illustrator.

I decided to create a shop to free all the characters that were trapped in my sketchbooks, unfinished. So, I took them, refurbished and sparkling, and share them to the world. They are ready to be adopted and willing to be part of your crafts.

All my illustrations are 100 % handmade by me, scanned from my sketchbooks and finished in Photoshop with my beloved Wacom Cintiq.

I hope you like what you see and come back soon.

Follow me on: INSTAGRAM: @maria_medel_illustrations"

Now here is my card using Holy Family Christmas. I love this image! To see the supplies I've used in creating my card, check out the upcoming January/February 2019 magazine! Now here's my card:

TTCRD Challenge March 21st

Guess what time it is?? It's time for another new challenge week over at Through the Craft Room Door!   And this week we have Little Miss Muffet sponsoring us. 

Here's a little bit about Little Miss Muffet stamps:

Welcome to... Little Miss Muffet Stamps!
A little bit of fun in a lot of different ways!

Hi everyone, I am Barbara Sproatmeyer, aka ForgottenScraps, and I am the owner of Little Miss Muffet Stamps. I love coloring and I love stamping! However, I think the best part about this is I get to share it with my own Little Miss Muffets who love to work by my side. Their personalities and adventures come out in the stamps that I draw, whether it is the day we roasted smores for the first time or when they discovered how high they could bounce on their hip-hop balls. They continue to be a source of amusement and inspiration. LOL

Little Miss Muffet Stamps began in January 2011 and I'd like to give a shout-out to my family and friends for their encouragement and support - thank you! I am also very fortunate to have a fabulous design team and I'm reminded of their talent every week when they show off their awesome creations. For oodles of inspiration, make sure to see what they've created over in the LMMS Gallery or LMMS Challenge blog for lots of creative ideas.

Little Miss Muffet Stamp products are created by myself and other talented artists including Bugaboo and Pollycraft. (For more fabulous images available in digital form, you can check out their sites.) I also stock a variety of other brands and products that offers you more of a selection and increases your buying experience, such as products from Raley's Confectionary, C.C. Designs, Make it Crafty and Whimsy Stamp.

Now here's my card: I used Polka Dot Pals Neomie Easter.  Isn't she adorable??
