Some like it hot!

Hi there! Welcome to the Gauche Alchemy/Bombshell stamps Some like it hot! blog hop. The design team members will be showcasing their creations inspired by summer!:)

My project was done on a piece of canvas board.....I used some orange mist, added the really cool metallic orange punchinella and parts from the Gauche Alchemy Scarlet Red Fever Mixed Media Color Kit. I used some bronze stickles around the mirror.

A really simple and quick project! I'm planning to put it in the entryway...so that I can check myself out before I leave the house...mirror mirror on the wall...how do I look? HOT! ;) Haha...I need the self-esteem booster to start my day...What do you think?

And what's a blog hop without prizes?

All you have to do it visit and comment on all the blogs in the list and you'll be in the running to win either THREE color kits from Gauche Alchemy or a really cool Bombshell stamp! :) Or maybe both? You could be that lucky! :)

I interrupt my regular posting to present.... :)

Extra, extra, read all about it!!  The Gauche Girls Open Up! (...and there are RAKs to be won! ;)

If you've stopped by the Gauche Alchemy blog (..kits with a twist! ;) today, you'll see that a brand-spanking new team has been announced (it includes me! ;), and in honour of that, all the Gauche Girls are Opening Up. How easy are we..to figure out that is! (cue: laughter! ;) If you haven't started at the beginning of our hop, Hop on back to the Gauche Blog and start in the fun there. There are RAKs up for grabs along the hop, so make sure you comment on each Gauche Girls blog for a chance to win some serious yumminess (this is one of those RAK stops!;)

Now for the fun part: Each of us Gauche Girls has chosen a word that best describes Why we're so Gauche! Honey, this is where you need to work it a little!  Here's what you do:  Find all the words and which  hoppin' hunny they belong to, head back to the GA Blog & post a comment with your answers - if you get it right, you get a shot at a kick-ass prize pack from The Head Honchettes themselves! See, it's EASY. If you have already started on the hop you should have come from Stephanie's...;)

Here's my word: QUIRKY

And my little project! I love those cute little charms my dad got me from China..:) My "hands" are actually brads (baby handprints!) that were white but I coloured in with Copics (my new love :)...notice how I placed flowers strategically around the area where I'm supposed to have shoes? The shoes I made just didn't look right and it looked odd to be feetless *LOL*...the clothes are iron-ons...patterned paper is from Cosmo Cricket. Base is felt mounted on a piece of wood.

Oh yes, I do have a RAK up for grabs if you leave a COMMENT on this post! :) Just make sure your email addy is linked to your profile so that I can contact you when you win!

Now shake your tail feathers all the way to Erika's and stare at some more Gauchy Goodness and get to know the rest of the team, since I've OPENED UP to you already *wink* ;)

If you're up for some serious shopping...stop by the Gauche Alchemy's Artfire store too! Pin It

Have a bootiful day

Have a bootiful day my friends! I'm fascinated by all things Halloween...we don't celebrate it in Singapore (read: no holiday!) and Halloween merchandise is generally hard to find..;( I love the dark eerie scary aspect of Halloween (appeals to my morbid side) and of course the treats...




So this is what I'm sharing with you today...a little signage I made...I used the web mask from Tim Holtz, then handstiched (yes, it took a long time)...the little felt pieces were from my local $2 store...I added stickles for some sparkle....







And some ideas for treats...Milk cartons painted black, a little bow, some monsters from Sassafras (added a little crackle paint in rock candy for some cool dimension), crepe paper and candy!

Hope you enjoy my little Halloween projects...continue with your Halloween blog party hop over at A Fanciful Twist...and have bootiful day!

* Edited* These cartons were featured on the Sassafras blog! :) Pin It
