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!

A Boy and his Pup

Howdy and g'eveing :)

Just jumping in for a moment to share the card I created at our monthly scrap get-together last Friday night!

I've been busy with some super images for DT stuff coming up later this week ;) and also trying to get some stuff organized for the Craft Fair! I've got to look into getting a ton of different sized envelopes quick ;)

Well, FYI - I'm the only cardmaker in this montly group ;) and that gives me the pleasure of showing off my lil images and Copics off a bit, {blushing} hee hee!

Unfortunately, I grabbed the wrong bag and brought the wrong images with me this time and forgot to pack cardstock! LOL! So I didn't get anything that I wanted to get done completed... which meant that I got to have a lil fun with something cute and new ;)

Here's my card...

This adorable image was a freebie from Some Odd Girl!

I'm not too familiar with their images, but when I saw this cutie, I knew that I had to have him too :)

I think his name is Tobie and he considered to be a Tiny...? Love his lil pup too! I'm glad that I had this boyish papers from My Mind's Eye with me! and Lil Sis, Sarabeth, came to the rescue with some Kraft CS and Ribbon for me to use, hee hee! Thanks sissy!!!

I hope you likey!!!

I'm a little behind on visiting everyone's blogs right now! I am SO looking forward to doing some hopping/commenting tomorrow night! Can't wait to see what y'all have been up to :)

{Tap, Tap} Is This Thing On?!

G'morning!!!
Lookie here! I think I'm finally posting problem-free! LOL! Maybe I shouldn't say it too loud or I'll jinx myself again ;)
To put it nicely, the last few days have been quite interesting, but my non-techie self seems to have resolved my laptop/blogger/pic problems by updating a few things and it feels like it may have done the job now {crossing fingers and toes!}

With all of this stuff going on, my mojo has skipped out on me a bit, but I feel him lurking ;) I was able to completely finish my first knitted scarf!!! It's pink and white with a few defects, lol! but it's my first one and I'm actually very happy with the results. I'll prob post pics on FB later today :)

So I just wanted to pop in and share a few quick things with you and then grab mojo for a quick hot cocoa and convince him to stay for a bit of coloring and paper fun ;)

Here are 2 cards that I created a while ago;
these are the ones that I had created for TGF's Critter Crew DT Call Out :)

This is sweet "Randy with Flower" Digi, isn't he the cutest?!
I just love his lil outfit! Reminds me a bit of the Mad Hatter :)

 ... and this adorable lil guy is "Valentine Bertie", doesn't he just melt your heat?!
My lil guy is saving this one for him to use for Valentine's Day! LOL! I wonder who he will give it too...???


AND! Lookie here!
My lil sis is getting her crafty groove back on...

I've got loads of stuff toget done in the next few weeks! In November, I will be doing my very first Craft Fair! It's at Nicky's elementary school! and I'm SO excited to finally be on the other side of the table! I wonder if I'll sell anything :) I can't wait to see!

That's it for me today!
I'm SO happy to get things rolling again!
Happy Monday to you all :*)

Update and Oh, Alice! Chapter 36

Good evening! I hope that everyone is enjoying their weekends!

I'm sorry! but I have been having problemss with my Blogger account! I keep getting error messages, losing posts and don't get me started on the whole pic issues! ha! 

I have tried posting this 4 other times in the last 12 hours or so! So with the hope that this actually goes through ;) Here is this week's Oh, Alice Challenge info! 

I hope you'll join us! and I hope that I can too soon :) 

Thanks for your patience and understanding! hugs!!! 

Oh, Alice! Chapter 36:

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

It's time for some Oh, Alice fun again!!!

The challenge this week is from our very talented DT member, 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!

We are THRILLED to announce that there's a prize this week, too!

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!

How awesome is that?

Please be sure to visit the awesome DT for inspiration!
Everyone's links are on my right sidebard ;) 

Checkmate! Have YOU met your match!?

You have until FRIDAY, October 29th to enter your creation and throw your hat (or should I say, crown?) in the ring for this awesome PAPER MANIAC prize this week! We'll announce the winner here in Wonderland during our next challenge!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!!  

Envelope ON the Card!?

Happy, happy, happy Friday :)

This week flew by faster than last week! Wow! I don't mind so much since everyone seems to finally be feeling well and we're all finally getting close to being on schedule again! Even though lil guy woke up with a runny nose again {crossing fingers} that thats all it will be ;)

It's time for another fun-filled challenge at The Greeting Farm!!!

This week, Farmer Kim had a wonderful idea!!! 

Incorporate an envelope onto our card by using a pocket or envelope template, decorating an envelope or anything goes as long as there is some sort of an envelope to it ;) 

What a tricky but very fun challenge!

I decided to finally use one of these beautiful Kraft-scalloped envelopes by Maya Road that I've been hording onto, break open my new TE October Ingredients Kit and color up the adorable 

Beto with Flowers Digital Image...

and here's what I came up with...

Here's a pic with the envelope open...

it's big enough to hold a gift certificate, money or a lil love note ;)

OH! and the stamped flower on the evenlope should look familiar to all you die-hard TGF fans out there ;) That's the one that you can find in their awesome "Sunshine Kit"!!!

You can find more Critter Crew Digital Images HERE!!!

I remembered last night that knitting was easier for me; I just found my needles this morning ;) It's easier for me to count knitted stitches! I always get so lost when crocheting, LOL!

 YUMMMM...

 This is our dessert for tonight! I bought one for each of us :)

Oh, Alice! Chapter 35: "Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Wonderland's Door"

"Alice laughed so much at this, that she had to run back into the wood for fear of their hearing her; and when she next peeped out the Fish-Footman was gone, and the other was sitting on the ground near the door, staring stupidly up into the sky.

Alice went timidly up to the door, and knocked.

`There's no sort of use in knocking,' said the Footman, `and that for two reasons. First, because I'm on the same side of the door as you are; secondly, because they're making such a noise inside, no one could possibly hear you.' And certainly there was a most extraordinary noise going on within--a constant howling and sneezing, and every now and then a great crash, as if a dish or kettle had been broken to pieces.

`Please, then,' said Alice, `how am I to get in?'

~ Chapter 6, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Hey everyone! It's a beautiful day here at Oh, Alice! and we are BACK with another challenge!

Have you ever felt like Alice? Not sure which door, window, or keyhole will be opened or closed next? Not sure which direction you're going but curiouser and curiouser about them all?

What a PERFECT opportunity to explore some new avenues,and walk through new doors we bring you at Oh, ALice this week. Thats right!

Your challenge this week is to create a card or project using a Door, Gate, or Keyhole.

Now, you can also get creative and do a gatefold technique, etc. As long as we can see it's a "Gatefold" or that there is a door, gate, or keyhole somewhere on your project! How FUN is this?

The best part? There's no time limit to play this week, so have fun and here's to opening lots of new doors in the future!

Sorry I'm late for this very important date!!! But here's my project :)
I've been wanting to create something more than just a card lately, but haven't had much time - well, to be honest, it's the patience that has been hiding from me, lol - to really go out of my comfort zone lately ;) But then I remembered how much fun I have when I created these mini-folders in the past! and just knew that I had to make one :) I actually created this a few weeks ago, but never had a chance to post it, until now ;)

I used one of my latest 6x6 sampler packs - Crate Paper's "School Spirit" and dusted off my very handsome Greeting Farm "My Guy Ian" Stamp Set and made this mini-folder! It's so quick, simple and super easy! I added a ribbon loop to make tying a knot or bow easier to stay in place...
I think I'll be creating a ton of these to add to gifts for the holidays! It's the perfect way to gift some of the kids photos, notes and gift cards :)

Here's the backside...

... and a peek of what the inside looks like...

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you likey!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend :*)

A Sketchy Farm Fresh Friday

TGIF!!!
Wow, I really cannot believe that not only did I make it through the week, but how quickly it went for me too! It's Friday!!!
... and I don't think that I gave myself enough time to recoop from being sick earlier in the week; I've been feeling pretty yucky again for the last few hours, so hopefully with a lil rest, it'll just go away ;)
Either way - there is always energy for the fun stuff, right?! ;)

It's time for another Farm Fresh Friday
at The Greeting Farm today!!!

Farmer Melyssa created a fab sketch for us to use this week!

I used my (new to me) "Get Well" stamp set created by Marina Neira. Unfortunately, this set is not available in the TGF store right now, but you can view the current Critter Crew Digitals HERE!!!
I also got to use some of my new October Afternoon papers called "Farm Fresh" and these beautiful chocolate colored pearls by Recollections... the ribbon I purchased a while ago from my LSS and have been hording it every since, lol! I'm so happy that I used a bit for this card ;)

Pixie Dust Studio Challenge #44 "Fall into Fall"

Happy Thursday!!!
Sorry! but I'm a bit behind again! With all the sickies earlier this week, and with the last 2 days I've been running around and helping out with a few things, one of them being at the book fair at my son's school :)  How could I stay away from that?! LOL ;) I never got a chance to pre-post my challenges for today, so forgive me for rushing to catch up :)

Here's Pixie Dust Studio's latest challenge...
"Fall into Fall"
Create a card/project with a fall theme to it!
Think leaves and warm colors, like deep browns, purples, reds...

This is the cutest version of "Pocahontas" that I have ever seen! She was just released earlier this week in the "Leaves" Collection that you can now find in the Pixie Dust Studio's Shop!!!

I used this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #88 and some Crate Paper's "Restoration" DP that came in my TE September Ingredients Kit :) Beautiful papers! I really had a hard time cutting into these ;) but they fit the challenge so perfectly, I just had to use them! hee hee!

Please stop by the rest of the Pixie's blogs for more inspiration :)
