Oh, Alice! Chapter 16: What's YOUR Muchness???

CHAPTER 16: What's YOUR Muchness?

"The Mad Hatter said to Alice:

"You used to be much muchier before!

Yes, you were much more Alice the last time we met.

You've lost your muchness..."

Alice replied:

"My MUCHNESS?"

The Mad Hatter pointed to her heart and repeated,

"Yes, your muchness..."

We have MUCH MUCHNESS to be excited about today! Not only are we excited about our new June Guest Designer, Lynne, but Oh, Alice! is THRILLED to welcome a few new FULL-TIME place settings to the Twisted Thirteen!

Please welcome:

SUZI MCKENZIE 

SARA HENTON

RANDI WALL

ERIN LEVEILLE (formerly our beloved Dormouse)

and returning from our April Guest table, KIM HOWARD!

We know these fabulously talented ladies will make a wonderful addition to our already amazing party of twisty-ness :) Please join me in welcoming them!

Our sponsor this week is the sweet Prairie Fairy Designs. Roberta was generous to provide the DT with some digital images to work with and we have a fabulous prize for the winner this week - 5 digital images!!!
Thanks to Roberta and everyone at Prairie Fairy!

So, what's YOUR MUCHNESS?
We want to know the HEART of your stamping style.
Whether it's your favorite embellishment, "signature style", fave technique...we WANT TO SEE the MUCHNESS!

 I'm not exactly sure as to what my muchness is, lol! I do love DP, I almost always use either BasicGrey or Cosmo Cricket... I have fallen hard for digi stamps and coloring them with my Copics... and I usually keep my layouts and cards easy-peasy... is that my muchness?! Maybe ;)

How about - just loving to sit and get scrappy and play with all kinds of different stamps, images, papers and embellies! That's me! I just love everything :)

PS, please don't look too closely to my poor lil snail, messed up on his coloring and had to go a few shades darker than what I wanted to - live and learn ;)

Upload your card/creation HERE by Friday, June 11th at 8pm CST to enter to WIN 5 digi images from Prairie Fairy! In the mean time, let us know on your blog posts or SCS description what YOUR muchness is...we can't wait to see! Have a week full of muchness, EVERYONE!

And, unfortunately, halfway through, he got sick and then once he was better, he had a lot of schoolwork to catch up on, so he was not able to participate in the last few challenges...
But he wanted to create something to share with you today using "Beggin", the cutest dog ever!

And that's because he looks so much like my sister's dog,
Riley James ;)

Also, I have to let you know that Nicky wanted to also use a stick on his card, but had no luck in finding the "perfect kind of stick" for this lil cutie to play fetch with!!! LOL!

Here's Nicky's card...

like the water sparkles, there's water in the vase, you know...

Simon Says Childrens Challenge!

"Hi everyone! I made 2 cards for today's Project Challenge for Miss Prairie Fairy :)"

Here's my first card using Fairy Princess' "Timmy Turtle":

"I used the project machine to make the roundness around the turtle

and extra bumpy stars on the star paper

and then I sand the bumpy stars with sand paper too...

You can make pretend that you can feel the turtle's hard shell too,

if you want too... "

"And I made another card, because it's Easter time :)"

"I colored only a little bit of the "BoBilly Bunny" and he's sitting on grass that I punched...

I used the project machine again to make leaves on the red paper and shapes...

and I made the bow all by myself using sticky glue dots.

You can feel the 2 papers bumps and the grass...

This is for my Mama, so I had to put a lot of colors on it

because she likes lots of bright colors..."

than mine ;)

LOL!

He's also hoping to get a lot more comments than me,

so if you have a sec,

skip me and leave him a lil comment, please :)
I would soooo appreciate it!

He's learning how to read, so I can't fib anymore, lol!

He will be reading and sounding out the words ;)

and...

He's my big boy and like all Mommy's with lil boys -

Good late evening :)

It's time for a Prairie Fairy Fun Friday Challenge!!!

This week the Fairy Queen, Roberta :) issued an order to use...

Tissue Paper!!!

Say what?! Never thought of it! How cool!!!

So, here's how I used my tissue paper :)

I made a flower out of it!
Just cut, scrunch, stick and scrunch some more!
Very simple and totally cute :)
I'm thinking that I could have distressed the flower with some nice ink...
hmmm...

I have to be honest - my mojo has been playing peek-a-boo with me this week, lol!
I wasn't sure about the blue I used on this card... so be honest with me!
Too bold?! Too much?
