Vicki Jean of chez xx journal sent me a surprise in the mail. A Valentine's Day card. I didn't give away Valentine's Day cards this yearand I felt that I should do something special as a token of my appreciation. I wandered around her website a bit when it dawned on me: I could make a graphic for her! Something that showcases her and something Valentine-y. I quickly spotted the beautiful script in the title of her journal and I grabbed that. I then got a vision.
The vision was of a glass or jewelled heart over her journal's name. Something pinkish. I then set off on my mission. With the help of Tasha of Girl, Interrupted and Val of Reflections, I refined the beautiful glass heart. I added the gold arrow afterwards.

Very cool! So, I made an animated GIF. It's huge. I couldn't compress it any smaller. I will probably try to do the same thing with Flash. Here is that animated GIF. It's huge. You have been warned.
