I'm barely whispering...

Happy Sunday :)

I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their beautiful weekends!
And look at me! I survived my Craft Fair, lol! Being sick while trying to mingle and talk with people was not easy, but with the help of my sis, I survived and had fun! Yes, I'm paying the price today with a severe case of laryngitis, coughing and the body aches, but it was all worth it ;)  On the plus side, all of my boys are being so well behaved and understanding and have even found that I can be quite entertaining trying to communicate with them using hand gestures and drawing pics!!! LOL! 

Here are a few other things that I was sellling at my table yesterday using my new fave thing, Modge Podge!...

Another pic frame...


 I used My Mind's Eye, MFT Die-namics and Prima


Notebook using Cosmo Cricket and my Slice...




My Mad Hatter inspired notebook using G45...


And here's a pic of ALL my boys visiting us at our table :)


My sister, Sarabeth, was such a HUGE help! I really couldn't have done it without her!
THANK YOU lil sissy :*)


OH! And a few quick challenge reminders! I cannot believe how I've missed out on this week!

November's Color Combo: Brown, Creme with a mix of your choice of another color!

And...
Oh, Alice! Chapter 39: Nothin' but Tea and Time on our hands...

You are all SO very appreciated!!!
I am very much looking forward to starting a new week
and getting better and on track again!

Oh, Alice! Chapter 38: "Tickets Please!"

'moring! Please scroll down for my
Thanks much :)

`Tickets, please!' said the Guard, putting his head in at the window. In a moment everybody was holding out a ticket: they were about the same size as the people, and quite seemed to fill the carriage.
`Now then! Show your ticket, child!' the Guard went on, looking angrily at Alice. And a great many voices all said together (`like the chorus of a song,' thought Alice), `Don't keep him waiting, child! Why, his time is worth a thousand pounds a minute!
`I'm afraid I haven't got one,' Alice said in a frightened tone: `there wasn't a ticket-office where I came from." And again the chorus of voices went on. `There wasn't room for one where she came from. The land there is worth a thousand pounds an inch!'

-- Chapter 3, Through the Looking Glass

Greetings friends in Wonderland! We are FULL STEAM AHEAD into November and today's challenge is JUST the ticket! Our ride this week is sponsored by our own Tasha who is generously donating a $15 gift certificate to Stamping Bella (in honor of their cute new Alice stamp) which will be awarded to one randomly selected winning traveler!

But before we get started, there are some changes at our twisted tea party table! We are bidding farewell to longtime design team members Jen and Suzi, so please leave them some extra love as you visit their last Oh, Alice! DT posts. We will really miss their superb talents! Donna, our amazing October guest designer, is stepping up to the table so we are back to our twisted thirteen. Welcome Donna, we are so glad you are staying where it's always time for tea! Be sure to check back next week for to find out who our guest designer will be for the holiday season!

So, do you have YOUR ticket ready for a ride on the Wonderland Express? Our twisted sis Lynne is the conductor this week and she says you can't travel with Oh, Alice! if you don't show us your ticket! You can make a ticket, use a ticket stamp, use a real ticket. Use one ticket or a whole row of tickets! So hop on it and get YOUR ticket ready to take a journey through Wonderland!

I don't want to get left behind!!!
SO here's my ticket, ummm, I mean card, into Wonderland ;)


I think I might have went a bit overboard with my punch in making the whole 'ticket' card/look! but I love how it turned out! I added my 'story' ticket (by Tim Holtz) and a bit of 'Alice' ribbon that I've been hording for forever!!! :) A quick and simple card for anyone who needs a break from coloring, hee hee!!!  

BUT, I wanted to make sure that I had enough tickets to get on the 'Wonderland Train', hee hee! and decided to color up one of my newest adoptees...
Cheeky Rockabilly!


I looove her cheekiness style and attitude!!!
I added another Tim Holtz stub and used my Slice on some pretty October Afternoon (Daydreams?) papers and blinged it up with a few Prima Pearls...


Now, it's time for you to get those tickets ready so you can travel with us on the Wonderland Express! You don't want to be left behind as this train leaves the station, so enter your new creations by 8 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 12th! Good luck, or maybe we should say Bon Voyage, as we can't wait to see where your creations will take us!

AND don't forget to visit the Twisted DT for a peek at their amazing creations :)

Oh, Alice! Chapter 37: Halloween in WONDERLAND...

Happy Saturday everyone!
This week at Oh, Alice! We have a "just for fun" post today here in Wonderland 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!

Oh my! How I love these Graphic 45 papers! Bought some a while ago just to drool over ;)
I couldn't decide what to do, so I came up with these 2!!!


I really looove the rustic orange-y color on the dp and decided to go all traditional with the Black and Orange combo...

And here's my other card!
I haaad to do something "mad" too ;)

PURPLE! Y'all know that purple and me don't get along, lol! But purple most certainly is the Mad Hatters main color; I just had to try and make amends to create this :)

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!
