Just finished watching a new series on IFC called, "Dead Set".
I think it's a British take on the new "Walking Dead" series on AMC
set to air on Hallowe'en night. "Dead Set" was pretty good, but I am
anxiously awaiting "Walking Dead". They are already filming a second
season even though the first episode hasn't even aired yet!
I loves me some undead and the idea that I live in an
age where zombie shows are all the rage is pure heaven to me.
I am hanging alot of hope on "Walking Dead", that it will be so
awesome and worth all of the months of anticipation.
I'll keep ya posted.
As Hallowe'en approaches I am trying to cram all of my holiday cards
into the next 3 posts before they aren't relevant any longer (to the normal world anyway).
Due to unforeseen extreme weather, and resulting lack of internet service,
I was unable to post my Oh Alice! challenge card on Saturday with the rest of the team.
A couple of days late and a few dollars short....
I give you,
Oh Alice! Challenge
CHAPTER 35: 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
I am not knowledgeable on the subject of chess at all.
I chose to be very literal and use the checkerboard background
and the Queen (Gossmere) image, both from Tiddly Inks.
I love Gossmere, and thought she'd make a stunning
Red Queen to adorn the checkerboard background.
I also feel as though I should explain my lack of embellishments on my
recent creations. My craft room as become something of a fall out shelter
for the schtuff that normally goes in the rest of the house, but has been replaced with Hallowe'en decorations, and any unfinished
or WIP Hallow e'en projects, and I still try to make cards in there too!
I have buried quite a bit of my paper crafting goodies (now would be a perfect time for my husband to call the people at the Hoarders TV show and turn me in)
and have decided to go "old school", and just use the image and some ribbon.
This has been the busiest month ever! I have finally found some time to stop and breathe after numerous involved projects and a Hallowe'en party are finally over!
I still have some back burner projects to complete, but the bulk of my load is
finished!!!
With that being said, let's get back on track with
