Won't You Be My Valentine?

January marks the beginning of my journey as a Design Team Member at Gecko Galz and today I would like to share with you my first two makes as a Design Team Member.

Throughout the year, Gecko Galz will be cross promoting with other companies and the Design Team will be creating projects using both Gecko Galz products and those of other companies. For the month of January, we are also working with digital images from Basic Grey's "True Love" Paper Pack.  In addition to the images I used from Basic Grey for my card and tag, I also worked with the My Fair Lady Collection, True Love Stamps, and Victorian Cuties, all new releases for January at Gecko Galz. One lucky participant who submits a Valentine  project using both Gecko Galz images and Basic Grey images will win a gift certificate for $25 to use toward a shopping spree at Gecko Galz! Please see Gecko Galz Home Page for submission details and good luck to each of you! Hugs, Yvonne

Make My Monday - Challenge 13 - Wings and Things

The final Wings and Things challenge, Challenge 13, over at Make My Monday is to create a project based on a photo as inspiration. The Design Team had some really great inspiration samples to get us started. My first thought was a piece of background paper I had for several years with bird cages on it by Basic Grey. I framed one of the bird cages with a die cut frame by Sissix. I added pearls to the frame and birds on pop dots by TPC Studio that were lightly colored in with Copic Markers. Regrettably, I do not know where the sentiment is from. The flowers are by Martha Stewart. I am also entering this card in the current Bloggers Challenge - Tic-Tac-Toe challenge. I chose to use flowers, bling and ribbon. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day. Yvonne
