Alice in Wonderland

Ok guys so this is what I've been up  to for the last 5 months....this week is opening night!!
yay!!


I managed to snap a few pics during dress rehearsal yesterday..not only did I help direct,but I did all the sets,props,some of the costumes and I get to run the lights too!!


The pics aren't the greatest I have a good camera but not a great lens plus..it's hard to take pics and remember lighting cues...who knew?

Here's a little peek for you all....


This is from I'm Late...(my son is the rabbit...ain't he  a cutie?)
                              Alice lands in front of the door,it has 3 sides and changes for each Alice
                                                 Caucus race with Dodo and sea creatures
                                             These two are my favourites..meet,the Tweedles.
                                          Here are our girls of the Golden Afternoon.


                                                             ...and our butterfly.


                                                    Don't forget the Unbirthday Song
                                                       and our Queen(today is her birthday...)
                                                         Happy Birthday Hannah!!



















So that's it that's all folks...this is what we've been up to.
Wish us luck!!

Focus Group Challenge.

I haven't done too much lately,been busy with rehearsals and painting sets but a while back I did finish this little beauty.I am so proud of it!I had no idea how to do an acrylic album so when the challenge popped up to be inspired by a Cropchocolate design team member ,I knew I had my project!.

I looked through the DT posts and found an acrylic album done by Jasmine aka Wildflower.Here's the link to her project.
I received two albums in a Hot Chocolate(sorta like a grab bag offered by CropChocolate) and I used my EP paper from my random paper pack.It was like it was meant to be!

products used:BoBunny Acrylic Albums-2
EP-Summer Days
May Arts Ribbon (I won this and I love it!!)
Random ribbon bits left over from other projects
Random bling from various packages
Stampin Up cardstock leftovers.

















I personally don't have an actual use for this little darling but leave me a comment and on Monday I'll draw a name and send it off to you!!!

This and That..

Spring is on it's way!!It's put me in the cleaning mood so after tidying up my crafty space a bit I decided to get creative
CropChocolate has been posting a new challenge each week and boy some of them have been hard!
Since I have a really bad habit of not updating my blog I thought I would post all of them here in one post...
Here is the latest.
The challenge was to upcycle a flower...duh my favourite thing to do is upcycle!!

I used the bottom of a pop bottle as my flower and stained it with Tim Holtz Raspberry ,Citrus and Espresso alcohol stains.
This paper is ep Life is Good.
I didn't think I would ever use this paper but I did and I really like it.






This is a card I made for a swap and it also worked for the next challenge..3 die cuts, 3 brads, and something that sparkles.

my sparkles are on the first heart but they are hard to see....

I skipped Challenge # 5...I was stumped...

I did make this other stuff....

primary colour challenge




New shape out of simple shapes....








Non traditional colours, Valentines card




So that's it that's all...join me next time when I participate in my first ever blog hop...I might just have some blog candy to go along with it...
