Oh, Alice Ch. 37: Halloween in Wonderland

*PLEASE scroll down for today's The Greeting Farm preview**


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!

Be sure to stop by the blogs of my Team Mates:

The OTHER Cheeky Xmas set is UP FOR GRABS as this week's FFF prize!, so be sure to play along!

For my tags today, I started with kraft tags. For the one above I used 2 Copic Markers. RV000 and V12. Just to give it a little shading. I also used a Sakura white paint pen in extra fine and a Stardust clear gel pen for accents. The bottom tags I left uncolored.

These make very fast tag projects for gifts. The "Sparkly Cheers" is perfect for a champagne or other bubbly treat!! The set comes with the fabulous 3 sentiments I used here and the cute little tree button that is easily punched with the green Marvy 1" circle punch!!

Oh, Alice Ch. 35: Chess

Stamps: Sweet Pea Stamps - Elaine Cox's Alice Series


CHAPTER 35: CHESS - CHESSBOARD - CHESSMEN
"They don't keep this room so tidy as the other,' Alice thought to herself, as she noticed several of the chessmen down in the hearth among the cinders: but in another moment, with a little `Oh!' of surprise, she was down on her hands and knees watching them. The chessmen were walking about, two and two!
`Here are the Red King and the Red Queen,' Alice said (in a whisper, for fear of frightening them), `and there are the White King and the White Queen sitting on the edge of the shovel -- and here are two castles walking arm in arm..."
--Ch. 1: Through the Looking Glass

This week's challenge (created by Lynne!):
Use some aspect of the game of chess! You might want to use a checkerboard pattern, or feature a King, Queen, Knight or Castle (Rook), or some other aspect of the game we haven't thought of - we just need to be able to clearly see CHESS in your creation!

Thanks to our generous sponsor, PAPER MANIAC, this week, they are giving away a set of Artistic Outpost Alice in Wonderland mini-stamps AND a sheet of E.A.D. Designs Stickerz! You have until FRIDAY, October 29th to enter your creation over at the OAC blog.

For my chess theme, I went with black & white, chess board pattern, and a little Chess-ire cat, too. ;o)

Have fun!

Here's some inspiration from the DT before we 'pawn' you off on your own to create this week:

Farm Fresh Friday Enveloped




Stamps: The Greeting Farm - "Flutter Anya" & "Princess Anya" & "Mermaid Anya"
Book: Kraft envelopes folded in half, secured with Scor-Pal tape. My favorite envelopes for these mini books are the ones with the straight edge closure flaps (not the triangular ones).

Today's Farm Fresh Friday challenge:

Kim Nath had a great idea to incorporate envelopes into the challenge. You can create a card using a pocket or envelope template, decorate your envelope, anything goes as long as there is some sort of envelope.

To participate in this week's challenge, please see the rules over at the TGF blog.
