Curiouser and Curiouser

Hello, hello! So I've been to Wonderland and back...and now went to Wonderland again to see the adult Alice.

I must say that Tim Burton did a great job. I enjoyed the movie and it was visually stunning! Johnny Depp was fabulous! Although there was one part of the movie I was disappointed in. I was so looking forward to the tea party but it was so short. And it lacked the old one's pizzazz and antics. I would still recommend seeing it though.

Today's card is for the Oh, Alice! Picturing Wonderland challenge this week. It's a sketch and I've used Alice Drink Me stamp by Elaine Cox from Sweet Pea. I really like her drawings of Alice -- she looks so curious and innocent.



The patterned paper are from American Crafts (multicolored swirling stripes) and Basic Grey. The letter stickers are from My Little Shoebox and the button/brads are from Doodlebug Design Inc.

On another note, I'm excited to be part of a group for TGF's upcoming team challenges. Sunghee invited me, and Tanya, Sheena, and Stephanie are in our team! It's so cool to meet new people!

Have a great Sunday!

Paint the Roses Red

Good mornin', everyone! Hope you're having a great Thursday morning so far!

My card today is for the Oh, Alice!'s Chapter THREE challenge. Base your card colors on these nail polishes:



Had so much fun with reds, dark pinks, blues, and purples! I think these colors together are regal.

This is also the first time I played with Charlotte from Kraftin' Kimmie. I LOVE her! Kinda made her look like the Red Queen as she is crazy but cute! It's also my take on motherhood...hehe!

Don't get me wrong...I LOVE being a mama but there are some days you just wanna pull your hair out! Look at Charlotte. She is on the brink of madness with that left eye twitching and her left foot tapping on the ground :). It is a wonderful feeling -- to love somebody THAT much. But I am so grateful for my stamping and my job. They keep me ME and give me serenity (ok...my job does not always make me calm). Still, nothing beats the feeling you get when your baby smiles at and cuddles with you.

This card also features FIVE patterned papers. That's a lot..even for me! It's for
Amy's Paper Crazy Challenge over at CA&F. Although I did not use any TGF stamps. The papers are from:

1. kol laj (purple and dark pink with blue flowers).
2. Reminisce (red with dots).
3. American Crafts (quotes).
4. KI memories (striped).
5. *not sure* (Sentiment).

Too bad the sparkles on the purple kol laj paper do not show. And I chose busy, but pretty papers because that is exactly how motherhood is :)... beautiful and chaotic!

Toodles,

I'm Late!

Happy Monday everyone! This'll be a quick post as I am working and pre-scheduling entries for the next few days. I will be working the next couple of days and we'll be going on a little holiday this weekend. I'm hoping to have a great time in the snow with my lil fam and friends. And also get to relax and craft, craft, craft!

My card today is for the Oh, Alice! Chapter 2 challenge, which features a sketch.

Super simple card. The PP is from Basic Grey and the stickers are from Sassafras. This adorable Swiss Pixie image (minus wings) is from my bff, Jo. She's the one who introduced me to the world of cute stamps!

So I tend to be a pack-rat, but I do love it when it pays off. You see those plastic flowers in the corner? Well, they are recycled from an old barrette!

Enjoy the day!

Oh Alice! Chapter One.

Happy Thursday to you! Can you believe it's the end of February? And that Christmas was two months ago?...I can't!

Let me talk to you now about today's card. I am just so IN LOVE with Alice in Wonderland. Am giving into the movie hype and am currently obsessed with everything Alice! And so, when the challenge blog Oh Alice! came along, I just knew I had to play! This is for the very first challenge, Chapter One: Down the Rabbit Hole.

The goal was to have this make-up kit as inspiration:

It's by Urban Decay, and lemme tell you folks...was I SORRY I deleted my Sephora junk emails! I missed buying it and had to go on Ebay to purchase it at a much more expensive deal! I swore off Ebay when I got burned years ago but that's a-whole-nother story!

Anyway, you can't tell from the small pic but that's Alice in the middle, and those mushrooms are 3-D. It is really a very beautiful collector's piece. And the make-up have names from the story!

So the first thing I wanted to focus on for my card were mushrooms. And I decided to make a little scene. It's also my very first easel card. I just adore this card, loved how it came out!

And as if the morning couldn't get any better, I went to Randi's and Traci's blogs and bought these. And not to worry, because of my stamping diet, I only bought two of the scenes. Besides...I also heard a rumor that TGF is *ahem* having some kind of TEA Party?? :) *big grin*

Have a stellar day!
