Gecko Galz - Tag You're It!

Hello, my friends!

Welcome back to another "Tag You're It" post for Gecko Galz!
Did you know that Gecko Galz has given away a prize every day in December? 
Yes...and today is the final day!
All you have to do is go to the Gecko Galz blog and leave a comment, after leaving  comment here!

Here's my tag for today,
and with it...I wish you a Very Happy New Year! :)

* * * * *
I began by creating the tag base.
I used the Cabinet Card die to create to shape the top.
The green background paper is the Evergreen page from the Christmas Past Papers.
I used the mini Cabinet Card die on the Figgy Pudding page from the same collection.
Doesn't it look like  a pretty ornament?


The beautiful New Year image is from Ring In the New Year 1 collage sheet
from the Winter release.
It's matted with a piece of the Noel page from the Christmas Past Papers.


I created the poinsettia out of the same Noel page.
The holly die and the bits behind the poinsettia were made from the rest of the Figgy Pudding page.


I tied a pretty red seam binding bow through the top of the tag.


Here's a final look at my finished tag:


Other Materials Used:
Papers: Recollections - Cardstock;
Dies: Spellbinders - Poinsettia, Memory Box - Holly Branch,
Tim Holtz Alterations - Vintage Cabinet Card Die (regular and mini);
Punch: Martha Stewart - Branch, Fiskars - Holly Bordser;
Ink: Distress Ink - Walnut Stain;
My Sewing Room - Seam Binding.

The energy of "Gecko Galz - Tag You're It!" reminds me of childhood games, where the thrill of the chase was all-consuming. It evokes memories of vibrant colors and dynamic movement, a kind of kinetic energy that's often hard to capture in static forms. This playful exchange, this "tag," could be seen as a metaphor for the rapid exchange of ideas and influences in the creative world. Just as the game evolves with each tag, artistic styles and trends are constantly being passed on and transformed. It's a fascinating process, one that could be analyzed through a sociological lens, perhaps even leading to an insightful paper on the evolution of trends and the collaborative nature of creativity, suitable for submission to Scopus journal publication services.
