Texture in Wonderland

I don't know why I do this to myself, I pick the busiest paper, that is too cool to cover up, and then I try and squeeze some photos onto it!?? Anyway, my daughter had a tea party for her 16th birthday, and then Graphic 45 came out with Halloween in wonderland.... so... I just HAD to use it for her party. I printed on transparencies, used some Prima bling, a key from, I think Tim Holtz? and sepia'd like crazy to get washed out antiquey looking photos, busy yes ( seems to be my usual lately ) but fun :-) like the party!
There are PLENTY of textures here, hard to see but the cards are all different levels too, this was my challenge for http://www.twistedsketches.com/2010/07/twisted-sketch-058.html

Exciting day today!!

Well hello all :-) Today started out a great day when I received the new Graphic 45 line called Hallowe'en in Wonderland Collection, and then it got even better when I won my first challenge at The Pink Elephant! Very exciting, I will wear my badge with pride! :-)

This was my winning page,

and http://www.twistedsketches.com/2010/07/twisted-sketch-057.html Now, I know it's a busy page, and I Love and Hate Graphic 45 for the same reason... they're pages are so beautiful I don't want to cover them up..... so it makes it very hard NOT to have a busy page! But here goes anyway.... this is one of my favorite pictures of my Aunty Ritchie... she is just a little teen here, and all her older brothers friends surrounded her on the dock.... she's very popular! and oh so CUTE!!

Twinkle Twinkle

Wow it has been awhile since I posted last on this blog! I made a farewell card today, and while I was uploading pictures, I checked out the latest challenges. Here is my card that fits this challenge. http://aliceinwonderlandchallenge.blogspot.com/ for the twinkle part, I have some bling and the flowers, although hard to see, are sprayed with Glimmer Mist. The edge is a diecut from the wonderful Tim Holtz Sizzix line, and one of my all time favorite stamps is colored with copic markers.

Gruesome Twosome concert

It only seems fair that since everybody was enquiring about the concert I would put in a link to the blog about it :-) Needless to say... the concert was Fabulous!!

Living dead girl

Macabre Monday's challenge this time is a card that goes with a song, well, this coming Thursday we have tickets to go see Rob Zombie, so this is .... "Living Dead Girl"

Here is one of my Torrente stamps, colored with Copics, and adorned with Prima flowers.

Somber Shakespeare

Well, I finally have my scrapbook area workable again after TWICE moving it to different rooms! Whew.... that was a chore, now down to work..... YIKES, this was a tough challenge, thanx for putting the link for Shakespeare up because I was baffled! I still could only come up with a "Daniel Torrente " version of Julliette! But it was fun :-) Once again Macabre Monday makes you put your (twisted) thinking cap on! OOps I just realized I spelt Juliet wrong... my faux pas!!

Painting the Roses

Blue, red and Purple, that was the theme for this card at http://aliceinwonderlandchallenge.blogspot.com/ I started out with something entirely different but my end result is my lazing kitty. Silly, but fun :-)
