Last week I was busy making a card for my friend's 60th birthday and I had a wonderful idea in my head to make a window in the front of it and string a load of cards (ATC Size) behind, like bunting. It was then going to open and the bunting was all going to pull out and be a continuous string of Alice images stretching from front to back. Well, it wouldn't work because the main card would have had to be huge and have a big big spine to it. I have thought since that I could have done it and used my Alice images in shrink plastic. Ah well, too late now. Instead I just made an A5 card (A4 in half), fussy cut the figures out and put them on the front - some were done twice and decoupaged over the top of an original image.
Sorry it did not end up being special or with me using one of your ideas. My friend liked it though but I bet it was not what she expected until she opened her gift which was from Whittards - Alice milk jug and sugar bowl (to go with her teapot that she already had), some White Rabbit biscuits and a selection of teas in three tins decorated with Tenniel images. I do like the original images I must say. She also got a birthday cake and a book of jokes for 60 year olds, you know the kind you find in garden centres. Wanted one which was called "Sterilise the Dentures. I'm 60" that I saw at my dentists but I cannot find it anywhere.
Anyway, here's my desk, I will be in trouble with Julia if I am not careful going on and on like above.
I have tidied it up as it was an absolute mess with stuff thrown all over it. Now there is just a picture I did with Brenda Brown which I love but need to finish off. Back is bad again today, after a week of no pain it came as a shock, so I have not got around to gluing down and painting the final bit. Just a couple of things to put away too and then I was hoping to get on with some Christmas cards.
Hope everyone going to the crop has a wonderful time, that the weather is kind to you for those that have to travel by road and I look forward to seeing all the photos next week.
Toodle Pip again!
