Already


Already you can tell she is going to be like her mother. Headstrong. Trendy. Fashionable. Already you can tell that she will be Affectionate. Caring. Graceful. Yes, she's a little diva through and through!



This duo was created with the Embellish Magazine's Color Bag Challenge in mind. I had received some wonderful "Winter Slush" goodies from Gauche Alchemy from a giveaway at the very talented Yvonne's Blog and had fun embellishing the top of the bag. (I just received word that Gauche Alchemy is having a 30% off sale on everything in the store Wednesday 11/17 through to Saturday 11/20.... The code is PATIENCE30)! Lovin' the contrast between the soft pink and hot pink-it just says diva to me! Also lovin' the natural elements with the unusual colors, so totally unlike something I normally do. (Lesson also learned to also make sure your photos are good and clear before filling your bag and giving it to its new owner!)


Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (White) Georgia Pacific (Black) SU
Stamps, clear: (Woodgrain Silhouettes) Wplus9
Ink: (Onyx Black) Versafine (Pretty in Pink, Basic Gray Pigment) SU
Embellishments: (Silver Fibers, Gray Tag, Grommet) Gauche Alchemy, (Black Polka Ribbon) May Arts, (Vintage Pink Glimmer Mist) Tattered Angels, (Hot Pink Grosgrain) Offray, (Black Grosgrain) SU
Other: (White Bag) no source

  6. What a beautiful gift! I love your "lessons" - very thoughtful! I'm sure I learned something from every one (except that I keep repeating the one about giving the item away before confirming that the photo is decent!) LOL
