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
The challenge this week is again the brainchild of DT member Lynne-to 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?
Here's some inspiration from the DT before we 'pawn' you off on your own to create this week:
This week I used last weeks gate fold, added Graphic 45 paper and a rosette, a bit of elastic ruffle. Just could not find the right saying, so I came up with my own. That's it pretty simple card.

That skeleton is so adorable with his little black bow tie! Great Card!
Love your sentiment - it turned the whole card into a visual pun, gotta love that! I had to make up a sentiment as well to pull my card together! That rosette is fab and the skeleton is wonderful, despite being all bones! It is so funny, I came up with this challenge and even so was completely unprepared when the date came up. I started at 11:30 p.m. on Friday and came up with something completely different than what I'd imagined. Every member of the team has had a COMPLETELY different take on the challenge in an ultracool way!
i can not keep up with you your on a roll the card is cute i love the skeleton keep rolling love mom
