Good morning!!!
I hope we're all off to a good start this week :)
This week's The Pink Elephant Challenge is being sponsored by
Christy Croll of Tiddly Inks!!!
One lucky random winner will receive a $10 gift certificate to the Tiddly Inks Store!!!
and the challenge is to use some sort of STITCHING, real or faux, on your card/project...

"You and Me"
I just fell in love with this couple!
Of course they reminded me of Edward and Bella :)
But their is just something about this image that just says, love...
I used embroidery floss to create my stitches! The thread is really thick, I recommend using only half the strands instead of all 6, like me, lol! Iit was hard to get through the thick cardstock, and made some large ugly holes that you can kinda see, sigh... live and learn ;)
Hope you likey!!!

Oh, Alice! Chapter 34: A Mad Tea Party!

`And ever since that,' the Hatter went on in a mournful tone, `he won't do a thing I ask! It's always six o'clock now.'

A bright idea came into Alice's head. `Is that the reason so many tea-things are put out here?' she asked.

`Yes, that's it,' said the Hatter with a sigh: `it's always tea-time, and we've no time to wash the things between whiles.'

`Then you keep moving round, I suppose?' said Alice.

`Exactly so,' said the Hatter: `as the things get used up.'

`But what happens when you come to the beginning again?' Alice ventured to ask.

~Chapter 7, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Wonderland greetings to all!
This week's Oh, Alice Challenge is brought to you by our sweet Ky :) and here's what she said: "Can you believe summer is fairly over? It's time to change from iced teas over to hot teas. I love autumn and all the wonderful warm drinks, wonderful sweaters and gorgeous colors it brings. In Wonderland, it was perpetually tea time and I could live that life for a long, long time!"

Your challenge this week is to explore things that could make up your tea-time activity. Use tea bag folding in the construction of your project. This is a great resource: Tea Bag Folding. Anything relating to time would pair perfectly with this challenge, but isn't a requirement!
Show us your fab folding abilities, doing it Alice-style!

Here's my attempt at 'folding' something :)

I attempted to do the Pinwheel tutorial found HERE...
as you can see it is no where close to be a pinwheel of any sort, lol! I just couldn't get it all to work for me, so I did one part 'petal' of a pinwheel and stopped when I found myself with a very cute looking kite ;) I had a ton of fun attempting the folds, but I definitely need a bit more practice! I hope to get one done soon and share :)

My image is Pinky from Tiddly Inks done up Alice-style! If you look closely, I did add a bit of Alice's trademark blue in there, and of course, the gorgeous long blond hair! She's all set for today's Halloween-style-tea-party-picnic with her scrumptious skull-cupcake ;)

You have until midnight Central time on Friday, October 15th to complete your project and link it up to the Oh Alice Challenge blog. You don't want to miss out on your chance of wining a 6x6 pad of Basic Grey papers from Ky!!!
The clock is ticking - SO don't be Late for TEA ;)

Enjoy your weekend!!!
I'll be nursing my ear-pain and snuggling with some good books :)

Oh, Alice! Chapter 24: Windows and Broken Glass...

"Now tell me, Pat, what's that in the window?'

`Sure, it's an arm, yer honour!' (He pronounced it `arrum.')

`An arm, you goose! Who ever saw one that size? Why, it fills the whole window!'

`Sure, it does, yer honour: but it's an arm for all that.'

`Well, it's got no business there, at any rate: go and take it away!"

There was a long silence after this, and Alice could only hear whispers now and then; such as,

`Sure, I don't like it, yer honour, at all, at all!'

`Do as I tell you, you coward!'

and at last she spread out her hand again, and made another snatch in the air. This time there were TWO little shrieks, and more sounds of broken glass.

`What a number of cucumber-frames there must be!' thought Alice.

`I wonder what they'll do next! As for pulling me out of the window, I only wish they COULD! I'm sure I don't want to stay in here any longer!"

Good morning and Hello Friends!...it's CRYSTAL CLEAR that today you're all joining us for a fabulous challenge here at Oh, Alice! We have all sorts of lovely techniques for you to try today!

Your mission today with Oh, Alice!, should you choose to accept it, is to try a technique using cracked glass, crystal effects (or glossy accents), or a window stamp/technique. There are TONS of possibilities with today's challenge and we are SO ready to see all of the fabulous creations you enter!

I tried to do the "cracked glass" technique, soooo was not happening for me, LOL!
So, I broke out my trusty Crystal Effects from SU! I've had the bottle for over a year! I love it and should use it more often ;)

Look! More Kraft :) First, as you can see, I created my own background using a Tim Holtz stamp set that I "borrowed" from my lil sister ;) It's called "Regal Flourish"... ink is SU Chocolate Chip... I couldn't find a suitable DP for how I wanted my card to look... what do you think???

The image is "Time For Tea", a digital image from Tiddly Inks! I LOVE her! I used the Crystal Effects on her headband and shoes, to give her an ol' fashion patent leather look and the clock's face is all nice and shiny too!... see pic below...

I have been desperately trying to use up all of my scraps! This card measures 4 1/4 x 4 1/4, all cardstock (and button) is from Papertrey Ink; You can see that I used the lil scrap leftover from where I nestie-d the circle out! I used it as a lil peep-hole for the tiny Alice stamp! This stamp and the sentiment are from TJ Designs "Down the Hole" Rubber Stamp Set... and the gorgeous pale blue plaid ribbon is from MFT!

I would also like to enter my card to the following challenges:
- Tiddly Inks Challenge #15: Fit For a Princess
- Dare U 2 Digi Stamp Sketch Challenge #43
- OTWC Challenge# 18: Blue, Yellow and White (Black/Creme)
