Oh Alice! - Down the Rabbit Hole....

I am sick!
My darling youngest son has kindly given me his cold
and now I an sniffing every five seconds, sneezing every two minutes,
my head is all fuzzy and I feel like crap!!

But enough of feeling sorry for myself....
I actually have a card to show!!
Actually, I have several...But all in good time!
Let's just concentrate on this card... for now!

So, you may have heard that the beautiful
Jess Diedrich has started
a new challenge blog called

"Oh Alice!"

This blog is dedicated to
EVERYTHING that is Alice In Wonderland....
The story, the book, the movie, the themes, colours etc.
(thanks for that quote Kimmie!)
And the very first challenge is to...

Get Glam!





And this is what I came up with....




Now this card and I don't like each other very much!
If it could go wrong it did go wrong and I am still not very
happy with the finished product...

I don't know if being fuzzy headed exacerbated
the whole process...But it is done!
And as for Glam... Well let's just say
I think that maybe Alice is glamorous enough!
Yeah????

Anywhoo....
I used my new MME DP paper that I received yesterday...
I had some left over from another card
I have just finished it's called ...
" Quite Contray, Nana's Trunk No. 355".

I also used MTSC 61 sketch from last week, but instead of
an oval I used a rectangle....





I coloured "Alice" from Sassy Studio Designs in with
my Prisma Pencils and for the sentiment I used
"Ever had one of those days"
from Kraftin' Kimmie's Sassy Sentiment range.

Now, if you want to play along there is
still plenty of time. So head on over to the

Oh Alice Challenge Blog

Check the deets and go for it!!
All the ladies are really lovely...
Some I even know!!

Ok, I am going to rest my fuzzy head,
I have a few busy day's ahead of me...
Claudia and Company's
Puddle Jumpers are being released later in the week...
You are not going to want to miss that!!
Oh!!! And you are going to HAVE to checkout
the GORGEOUS new images Jen from WFK's
has designed... Her best yet!!
....And then there is something REALLY special from
Kraftin' Kimmie coming up very soon!

Ok,
Thanks for letting me whinge...
Promise I won't do it next post!
