Alice in Christmas Land

This set of printables I used is from Alice in Christmas Land from the Gecko Galz

This project is for Gecko Galz Scrapbooking I have also entered into the Quarterly challenge which is to create a shrine

They have a Facebook Challenge page make sure you check that out as well this has different challenges to enter 

Be sure to enter the challenges you have a chance to win a great prize from the Etsy store

 There are so many elements that I didn't use as there are so many different printables to use 

These are just three of the ten sheets we were given to use which I'm sure I will find a use for as I love Alice 

I love these Tim Holtz Idea-Ology Reliquary Domes they are so fantastic and can fit so much in them 

I used a door mold to show how Alice came in through the door at one stage in the book

There is a card printable and a metal crown

There are flowers to show that scene 

I had to put some little bottles for the 'drink me/ potions that Alice drinks throughout the story 

I added a mushroom printable that I fussy cut then added a metal teacup

And a white rabbit charm

I love hiding little bits that relate to the story that aren't obvious straight away but once you look you realize it is part of it all

Thank you for looking I hope you will come back again soon xx

 Long time since I blogged...

A lot has happened in the past 4 years

My son is now engaged and getting married next year and my daughter and her husband had a baby boy who is the light of my life 

So you will see lots of photos of him more than likely 

I have learned a new hobby, had a few family things, and now have a beautiful grandson who keeps me very busy

I stopped crafting due to the other hobby as I didn't have "time" as such to create with how much this other thing took over, I didn't realize how much I missed my mixed media art until now 

I had to stop the other hobby for a while it was getting too much pressure as it had a sales side of things with it and some people just made it not so enjoyable anymore and when a hobby becomes work it's no longer fun 

So now I'm back to what I love 

I got to go away with the bestie for a fun weekend of laughs and crafting 

I only created 4 things (1 was a challenge item for the weekend) but I was very social which is very good for me I usually keep to myself as I don't like to bother people I feel like I might be intruding but these ladies made me feel so comfortable and so relaxed I wanted to chat to them all

In the last 6 weeks, I managed to create quite a few pieces I gave most of them away which was great

Nice knowing they made someone happy and they aren't sitting in the cupboard collecting dust

A  couple of the pieces are from challenges which were a great start  

There were a couple more but I didn't get photos they got taken before I had a chance
