CHAPTER 27: Prizes for Dodo...

"This question the Dodo could not answer without a great deal of thought, and it sat for a long time with one finger pressed upon its forehead (the position in which you usually see Shakespeare, in the pictures of him), while the rest waited in silence. At last the Dodo said, `EVERYBODY has won, and all must have prizes.'

`But who is to give the prizes?' quite a chorus of voices asked.

`Why, SHE, of course,' said the Dodo, pointing to Alice with one finger; and the whole party at once crowded round her, calling out in a confused way, `Prizes! Prizes!'

Alice had no idea what to do, and in despair she put her hand in her pocket, and pulled out a box of comfits, (luckily the salt water had not got into it), and handed them round as prizes. There was exactly one a-piece all round. `But she must have a prize herself, you know,' said the Mouse.

`Of course,' the Dodo replied very gravely. `What else have you got in your pocket?' he went on, turning to Alice..."

Hello all!

We are so excited about today's inspiration piece, which just so happens to feature Alice and the lovable Dodo she encounters along her adventures in Wonderland.  We'll even spare Dodo the croquet game today...less headache!  ;)

The Mad Hatter herself is VERY fond of Tarina Tarantino jewelry and is lucky enough to own a VERY fun ring that she scored while in Disneyworld last time.  Check out the fabulous Queen Alice ring HERE.

For today's challenge, we are all gaga over this beautiful piece: 



Your mission today is to create SPARKLY FABULOUSNESS (yes, include some BLING, please!) as inspired by the above photo.

For my card today, I used the inspiration piece colors and added as much bling as I possibly could! 



The image is from Lenny's Alice In Wonderland website. Lots of images and information about Alice!
I used a some sparkly paper I had picked up a few weeks ago for the background. Are you like me when you go to the store and something catches your eye and you say, "I need to get that....I will probably have an occasion to use it". (haha!) The image is cut out using a Spellbinders Oval. I mimic'd the oval in the inspiration piece, colors and all!

Head on over to the Oh, Alice Blog and join in the fun. While you are there check out all the blingtastic creations by the Design Team!

Enjoy!

  18. It seems as if [url=http://www.activebody.pl]kreatyna[/url] gives your body what it needs. While using M Stak I have increased the number of times at the gym per week AND did triathlon training at an increased level as well! The fatigue of the muscles workout seems to be reduced ...
