Alice In Wonderland - Drink Me

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!

It's that time again... time to reveal my latest in Wonderland creations!!

Let's not beat around the bush!
HERE IT IS:
 All file used to make this layout were from Designs On Cloud 9.

Close-Ups
 I used Wonderland Cuties to make this adorable Alice.

I've been practicing my eyelashes and ,let me tell you, adding the eyelashes makes a huge difference! I also added detail lines to her hair-bow, hairline, and cheeks.

Layered her with adhesive foam between her hair layers and under her head for more added dimension.

 The bottle is from DC9's Bottles file.

 I added three layers of adhesive foam under the bottle just to make it even with Alice... that's how much dimension is this paper piecing... a whole heap!!


The key & gears are from the Doo Dads1 file. And for the pocket watches I again used Wonderland Cuties... it's the White Rabbit's pocket watch.

 For the border on the photo mat I used Photo Mat Fun. I love this file... it also makes a great page border!

Believe it or not, I used the same file to make the border and mat (Background-Diamonds). The mat measure 4"x6" and the border is 3"x11.5" (uncheck the keep proportions box to get this stretched argyle effect).

And last but not least... I used DC9's Gnome file to make the door... just the door not the hinges or keyhole. You can find those also in the Doo Dads 1 File. But sorry guys, sadly the Gnomes file has been retired! :(
Maybe if Michelle gets enough requests she might bring it back... maybe... don't quote me on that!

So there ya go... yeah, it took SIX files to make this one... but sooooooo worth it! I love how it came out!

Recap on the files used:
Design on Coud 9's Wonderland Cuties, Bottles, Doo Dads 1, Photo Mat Fun, Background- Diamonds, & Gnomes(retired)

Alice In Wonderland - Queen & Rabbit

Happy Friday!

It's that time again... and I am so looking forward to the weekend! My week has been so crazy that I was only able to squeeze one layout out. My baby boys are having it rough... my 6 mos. old is teething bad and extra fussy and clingy, & my 2 yr old is potty training ( lots of clean ups... thank God none were #2)!! My sis-in-law was rushed to the ER(come to find out she had gall stones & had to have surgery) and I had her 2 yr old and 5 yr old over... but only for a day they left later that evening. But then, my 4 yr old mini me, catches a bug which she generously just gave the potty training 2 yr old. It's been a rough ,rough, rough, week!!

On top of all this, after constant nags and prods to sell my creations, I finally gave in. I am now a new member of the Touch Of Class Group (TOCG) selling group on ebay. Yay!!



These ladies are super talented! I'm lucky to be a part of such gifted individuals!
If you have time or are interested in purchasing any of my designs message me or check us out on ebay. (Search for TOCG)

Anywho... Now, down to the nitty-gritty...I started with this one because I thought that this was going to be the easiest out 4 layouts I designed. That was, until I ran out of black cardstock!! Yikes!! You never know how important black (or white) paper is until you run out! So, here is my one lonely project of the week, as featured in Design on Cloud 9's weekly newsletter.

This layout is just the start of a collection of Wonderland layouts I'll be making. Enjoy!


For this layout I used DC9's new Wonderland Cuties for the queen of hearts and white rabbit. And Pretty Roses file for those awesome roses. For the playing cards I used the rounded rectangle in my eclip's ecal software in the "my shapes" section under basic shapes. The card suits can be found under the game section of the library.

Close Ups







Now... Freebie Fridays!!

DC9's Freebie of the week:


which coincidentally coordinates with not one, not two, but three other new files Michelle just released...

AAAAAAND... As if all this wasn't enough... she also released five other files as well!

And, if you are an avid card maker... these two files are a must have!!

& last, but certainly not least, A2 Shaped Cards

HOOOOOO-WEEEEEE!! That is a ton of stuff to go over! I'm pooped!! 

Now, Go Get Crafting!
Ready, Set, Craft!!
