Oh, Alice Ch. 37: Halloween in Wonderland

Stamp: Sweet Pea Stamps - Elaine Cox "Twilight Halloween"

Hey everyone!

The Oh, Alice Challenge blog is having a "just for fun" post today that doesn't follow a book excerpt or poem...just a good ol' fashioned HALLOWEEN theme!

After all, tomorrow IS Halloween and it's time to showcase some fun projects, and many of us are using the Graphic 45 special line of papers, Halloween in Wonderland!

My first card features a Halloween Sweet Pea Stamp by Elaine Cox. I colored it with Copics and then sprayed a whole lot of Tattered Angel's glimmer mist in my fav color...Coffee Shop.

Copic Markers: Cape/Hat: W7, W6, W3, E70, E71, RV00; Skin: E51, E42; Hair: W3, E40, B60, G000, BV31; Dress: E40, B41, W3; Tree: E35, E33, E74, RV06; Background: V09, RV06, B00

Just for fun, I also included a wall hanging decoration made with one of the keys from the Maya Road key album and papers from Graphic 45.

We really hope you enjoy our projects today and that you feel like playing along! Today our VERY generous DT member Ky is offering up a set of Alice stamps by Elaine Cox! Even more of a reason to get creepy or crafty this week and show us what you can do!

Oh, Alice Ch. 26: Sizin' up a Sketch...

DP: Graphic 45 "Steampunk Debutante"

CHAPTER 26: Sizin' up a Sketch...

"The Caterpillar was the first to speak. `What size do you want to be?' it asked.

`Oh, I'm not particular as to size,' Alice hastily replied; `only one doesn't like changing so often, you know.'

`I DON'T know,' said the Caterpillar.

Alice said nothing: she had never been so much contradicted in her life before, and she felt that she was losing her temper. `

Are you content now?' said the Caterpillar.

`Well, I should like to be a LITTLE larger, sir, if you wouldn't mind,' said Alice: `three inches is such a wretched height to be.'

`It is a very good height indeed!' said the Caterpillar angrily, rearing itself upright as it spoke (it was exactly three inches high).

`But I'm not used to it!' pleaded poor Alice in a piteous tone. And she thought of herself, `I wish the creatures wouldn't be so easily offended!'

`You'll get used to it in time,' said the Caterpillar; and it put the hookah into its mouth and began smoking again..."

Hello! Today, Oh, Alice is sizing up a GREAT sketch by JEN and the main panel just HAPPENS to be THREE. INCHES. TALL. :) Now, of course you don't have to stick to this if your image won't fit, but we didn't want to anger Mr. Caterpillar by saying that Three inches wasn't a respectable height, so here's the sketch:

For today's card I used the extraordinary new Steampunk Debutante line from Graphic 45. If you want some fabulous eye candy, check out the G45 blog's CHA booth pics. We have the entire line at Paper Tales. LOVE this paper!!!

Club Anya First Sketch Challenge

These are ATC's based off the Club Anya Sketch Challenge #1. I then designed a card to attach them to that was also based on the Sketch. I cut an ATC sized glassine envelope to place the ATC's in. They feature TGF's Mermaid Anya and Princess Anya all colored in Copics. The seahorse was created with a Martha Stewart punch.

And that yummy black and cream cardstock is by Graphic 45. It's an older release, but one of my favorites!!
