Happy adventures!

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share a catch-all happy adventures bag that I put together, to gather up all the neat kiddo paraphernalia and mementos that I have and/or come across, to scrap at a later date. I started off with the white bag and from there I added all kinds of neat Gauche Alchemy goodies and personal items.

 

The main background paper is a music sheet from the ephemera-variety-pack. This pack is amazing, with so many fun ephemera goodies in it....one of my favorite store items! I added paint to it to give it a fun look and then I layered some punchinella on it and that sweet golden/orange trim from the lady-marmalade-color-kit to give it a little shine.

 

To top off the fun, and give this a different look,  I added the ram bottle cap and that awesome Kodachrome frame, which was also in the same marmalade color kit.

 

 

For a personal touch, I used some  pics from my daughter's jungle book story,  and finished it off with a red ribbon that I made by cutting up one of my dd's old outfits.

I invite you to indulge yourself with some of our yummy shop items to create your next masterpiece!

 

As always, thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Technology?!?!?!?!

Hi everyone! Today I want to share my love/hate relationship for technology. Sometimes I think all the advances and fancy buttons we have are fantastic....I mean, it lets me do things in half the time, it gives me the ability to do things I couldn't before, and at the same time, it causes a great deal of frustration when I can't understand it.....thus...my love/hate lo! Lol!

 

 

I created this lo on the FANTASTIC ouchless white cardboard...I gotta say this stuff is amazing. It's so easy to sew on and it's like magic when you paint on it....the feel, absorbency, and ease in your hands...I just can't say enough....can you tell I LOVE this stuff...lol!

 

 

To add some sparkle to the lo I add that strip of shiny silver sequins from the cool black-out-mixed-media-color-kit. I thought it added a bit of excitement  and pop! Underneath the sequin, and to the side of the pic is a torn up/crinkled cupcake tissue, from the very pretty -wedding-night-mixedmedia-color-kit. I must say, this kit is so delicate and perfect for every project!

 

Also from this kit, is that cute little blue 'nino' guy, to the left of the pic, on top of the grey lace. That neat looking triangle, with the numbers on it is from the its-all-gravy-baby kit. I really think this is the perfect embellie for this lo!

 

What cool project are you working on? Our shop has all the right components that you will need...yes, all those hard to find, really cool goodies are at your finger tips with Gauche Alchemy at your side every step of the way!

As always, thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
Hugs!

Sodalicious 'Sometimes it's hard to' challenge!

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to share a journal page that I did, as a GD, for the latest Sodalicious "Sometimes it's hard to" journal challenge.

For me, I decided to create a page about "it's hard not to" eat chocolate! Yup, once you've opened up that yummy box of chocolate, it just keeps calling your name!
