Some stuff I have made

                            Here is a clock I made out of a wood cage I had found at Hobby Lobby.
                                                            I think this came out so cute!
                                                         Paper is Graphic 45 Le Cirque

                                           Here is a circus card I made with the same paper.
                            I love how the lion is jumping out of the circle and busting the paper.
                                              Adds excitement and dimension to the card.

                                                                  Close up of the lion.

                                                                          Another shot

                                                                        Inside of card

                                    I know you have seen the purse but here are a few better shots

Love this purse!

That's my sharing for the day. Have a great DAY!

Hall of Doors

"There was not a moment to be lost: away went Alice like the wind, and was just in time to hear it say, as it turned a corner, `Oh my ears and whiskers, how late it's getting!' She was close behind it when she turned the corner, but the Rabbit was no longer to be seen: she found herself in a long, low hall, which was lit up by a row of lamps hanging from the roof.


There were doors all round the hall, but they were all locked; and when Alice had been all the way down one side and up the other, trying every door, she walked sadly down the middle, wondering how she was ever to get out again."

-- Chapter 1, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland


This month's challenge is to use a door or doors, and preferably for the door or doors to open and close so we can see what lays beyond! While it is not required that your project include Alice in Wonderland, we do encourage it. If your project features Wonderland you will get two chances in the prize drawing instead of one!

We are thrilled to announce that The Octopode Factory is our March sponsor! We are celebrating because Lily has moved into the world of rubber! That's right - RUBBER STAMPS! Lily started with her quirky digital images, and she has gifted the design team members with some of her wonderful Wonderland digital sets. Most of the digital images we will be using are those that are now available in rubber.

One lucky winner will win a $30 gift certificate for digital images from The Octopode Factory's Etsy store! Enter by Friday, March 25 at 8 p.m. Eastern time (GMT -5:00) and a winner will be announced on Sunday, March 27. Show us your DOORS!

I want to personally Thank Lilly for donating these images for me to use I enjoyed each and every one of them!

And now for some inspiration from ME!

This project is brought to you because my other one.......decided to drink my 60 ounces of diet coke!
Yep, you know what they say.......don't put your projects where your drinks are!!!! Because evidently your projects get thirsty ans absorb all of the liquid you give it and MORE!

So this is what I came up with on short notice......Not so original

                                                                  BOOK OF DOORS

I started out cutting chipboard out with tim holtz tag die. Then for the top of the door I used one of his edge dies. Then of course ran his wood grain emboss envelope on every door.  I used the tag die cut for the welcome plaque also.

Mushrooms, I did some drawing to get those. Imagine that, me drawing? Then colored with colored pencils and watercolor pencils.

                                          Cheshire Cat had to be in a tree looking for Alice!
                                          He is so cute, in that oh so original Octopode way!

                                                The Queen also could not find Alice, so she
                                                    got pissed and said off with her HEAD!
                                 (Who named her the Queen of Hearts?, that's what I want to know)

Of course the White Rabbit is always running around telling everybody

YOUR LATE! YOUR LATE!

We had to stop by and get some potion!

Again a little drawing was done here.

A door with in a door. Check out that mini door handle.

Who could it be?

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.....ho hum!

And finally Alice has been found she is in the last door.

Along with the quote that we are working from.

Last look at the cover.

The End

What did I learn from this journey? Put your POP on the other TABLE!

Because it is a late night and early morning working on a whole new project!

Hope you enjoyed my lesson!

I Spy.......

Wow, it has been a while! What have I been up to? Well a little of this and a little of that. I will show you some random pictures. This is what I Spy..................

This is that big black bull I see every morning

How would you like to run into him?

He is HUGE!

I would love to refurbish this Little House on the Prairie

All inclusive, even with a prairie dog, see him?
