Oh, Alice! Eat me....

For what now seems like many moons ago, I used to be a part

of a great group of creative ladies who were the design team

for the Oh, Alice! challenge blog. 

It was a wonderful Alice in Wonderland themed challenge blog.

After a while, the blog changed (equally worthy) hands,

and I felt it was a good time to step down and see what else was

out there for me creatively. I always meant to play along 

with the newly renamed, Altered Alice challenges, but never did.

Then I read that this is Altered Alice's last scheduled challenge until 

further notice. I absolutely had to play! 

It had been much too long since I made anything

Alice related, and I couldn't think of a better reason to do so.

And the theme is Anything Goes. Really? My favorite theme ever! 

I immediately knew I wanted to use my favorite Alice image, 

from Spesch Designer's Stamps, drawn by Christina Gardner.

I had all the blue and yellow Copics out with the intention of doing 

a classic color scheme for Alice, but then I remembered 

it's anything goes!

I like Alice with lavender hair and green eyes.

Then, I colored up this great image drawn by Rick St. Dennis,

 and gussied it up a bit with some Stickles and loose Doodlebug glitter. 

I added the black satin ribbon with the buckle/brad to give some balance.

Plus, it was an opportunity to destash a bit. I always need to destash....  

I even broke out with my highly coveted 

Graphic 45 Hallowe'en in Wonderland dp, and my 

loverly Leavenworth Jackson Wish you were here stamp. 

I embossed it after I distressed it slightly. 

I am so happy I got a chance to create something for the awesome 

Altered Alice Chapter 27 

What a wonderful dream it has been challenge.

I'd also like to enter this card in the following challenges:

  Simon Says - Anything Goes!

Crafty Ribbons - Anything Goes with ribbon

Movie Madness times deux

The challenge over at HDH this week is

Movie Madness.

We are sponsored by Spesch Designer Stamps who also

generously offered up freebies for the Minions to use on our projects.

So I went the route of the overachiever.

I made two projects, but only because I couldn't decide on

which Spesch image to use.

First up, we have ...

Fleetwood.

That's Fleetwood Coupe de Ville, baby!! From "The Wiz". 

This is actually the "Oz Lion" from our sponsor, Spesch Designer Stamps.

I just lurve him! I didn't want go Disney with the creepy/sad Lion King,

and I didn't want to go with the Wizard of Oz, so The Wiz allowed me

the funkadelic color scheme. I watched The Wiz a while back with my

son thinking he'd like it, and he did not. Not at all. It kind of left a bad

taste in my mouth as well. That subway scene is still quite creepy though.

I remember really liking it as a kid back in '78, but kind of like

 the "Dukes of Hazzard", I only really liked it as a kid back in the day. 

My goofy ass husband on the other hand... still loves that c-rap.

 I digress.

I really like this image of ol' Voldy and the gang.

It's called "Voldemort and the Death Eaters", also available at Spesch. 

Killer artwork! I was so inspired even though I am not a huge

Potter geek. I have read all of the books, and I have seen all the films,

and I did cry when I read Dobby's death and at the end of the series.

BUT, I am not a Potter geek. Oh, and I did go out at midnight to get the

Deathly Hallows in 2007. In my defense, we lived in Paris, Texas

 and we were so bored that it seemed the only thrilling thing to do at midnight.

Goin' to the Walmart. Whoopee! I think there were about 15 people there

for books. I bet only half of us could read. 

I hate Texas.  

Thanks for stopping by!!

Uh oh! There's a zombie in the rabbit hole!

I am super thrilled to announce the new release at

Spesch Designer Stamps!!

How about....

Alice in Zombieland?!!!!!!!

Yup, yup, yup! Soooo cool!!

And I was invited to join in on this release today since Tracey

knows I am such a zombie enthusiast and lover of the undead.

Wait a minute, that didn't sound very nice...

Ack!

Soooo cool, right?!

I painted an 8 X 10 canvas using acrylics and my own twisted

version of Wonderland.

I still need more practice with paint, but I am having so much fun!  

This cat is my favorite. I LOVE that stitched eyeball!

And the blood running around the eyeball and into the teeth is brilliant!!

Oh Alice!

What have you done to poor Mister Rabbit?!

He is going to be very late!

I had so much fun working on this canvas.

I used Glossy Accents on both the images, but found that the colors

faded once it was completely dry. Bummer.

I added more red paint to make the blood pools. Fun! 

I am still working on my second canvas featuring the other

two images of the Hatter and the Red Queen.

They are both so awesome!!!!

I should have the new piece up very soon so check back,

and in the mean time, drop by

Spesch Designer Stamps

to get your very own

Alice in Zombieland digis!!
