Busy Busy Bunnies

Hello friends! I have been busy these past few days. Today, it's all caught up with me. I got 9 hours of sleep over a 72-hour period. I kept up my physical therapy 3 days in a row. I did the normal, nominal house keeping (thank goodness for Cabana Boy or we would live in a pig-sty!). Today, I can hardly walk. Every fiber in my back and shoulders is screaming. It's a flare, and will keep me company most of the week. Fun stuff!

I made it to the studio (hello, it's downstairs, right next to the living room) and pulled out stamps. I made... this!

There are seven... 7 ... images on this card. Some are stamped several times, but there are 7 unique images. Most of them are from Theresa Momber's new set Heartfelt, available from Gina K but I also used the salt grass image from her By the Sea set.

So, a couple weeks ago, I mentioned I would be announcing my class in a couple weeks. Here it is, time already. I need to make a little video to tell you all about it. If my body will cooperate, I will get it done today! Class won't start for a couple more weeks, so save your pennies. You're gonna want to go on this ride with me!

Two days ago, we had a big scare. I had Tinker out in our bunny romp pen, and we were chatting with the neighbor. Another neighbor came over with his lab following along, and the lab saw the bunny and oh my oh my. Tinker never was 'got' but she set about crashing the pen and shrieking that horrible bunny death-cry. Oh my HEART! She was terrified, and whimpered even after we were safely inside. For the next day and most of today, I haven't been far from her.

Please understand - I have no problem with my neighbor or his lovely labby (we miss our girl). It was just one of those chance situations. It reminded me how quickly the whole world can change. Hug your babies! Find your happy, share your hellos, and try to not take life too seriously.

Ciao!

CHAPTER 30: Hey there, Nice Stems...

Just as Alice said this, she noticed that one of the trees had a door leading right into it. `That's very curious!' she thought. `But everything's curious today. I think I may as well go in at once.' And in she went.

Once more she found herself in the long hall, and close to the little glass table. `Now, I'll manage better this time,' she said to herself, and began by taking the little golden key, and unlocking the door that led into the garden.

Then she went to work nibbling at the mushroom (she had kept a piece of it in her pocked) till she was about a foot high: then she walked down the little passage: and THEN--she found herself at last in the beautiful garden, among the bright flower-beds and the cool fountains..."

Hello out there! It's a lovely day here in Wonderland and we are celebrating the summer with a nature theme today! Well, TREES and FLOWERS to be more exact! We scored a GREAT sketch sponsored by PAGEMAPS today that is just perfect for today's theme:

Just take a look at how much fun I had with this amazing sketch:

I made this paper using alcohol inks on glossy paper. I drew on Cheshire's smile and eyes...thanks to my posse for the idea!

I made these textural pieces using modeling paste, various distress inks, and homemade glimmermist. I stamped Tim Holtz' rabbit in cocoa memento, embossed with copper powder and colored with copics and distress inks.

I reinforced the time theme using Tim Holtz' clockface mask with walnut distress ink. I put two Graphic 45 images of the Red Queen under acrylic frames and hung them on twill ribbon.

I hope you enjoy this project. It's an 8x10 page in my art journal, and I completed this page online with input from several of my friends through Ustream. We really had a great time configuring this page together.

There's no time limit for you to play along this week, but be sure to link your project on the Oh Alice! blog so we can come share some love!

Ta for now! ~ky
