I chose this gorgeous image from the Pre Raphaelite Art collection and the word from the Simple Encourgaments 

It was a very hard decision as there are so many beautiful ladies to choose from but for some reason, this girl spoke to me 

She has something about her that just spoke to me and made me feel calm and at peace 

I used kraft cardstock and a stencil I have had for a while with some clear heavy gel medium then used some watercolours over the top

Behind the image, I added some white gesso to make the image pop

Then added a few embellishments and a Memory Maze Chipboard to enhance the image

Thank you for visinting and I hope you come back soon xxx

Thank you for looking I hope you'll be back soon xx

As well as my tag I designed a page with Santa I just couldn’t help myself these images are just so beautiful 

They are from the St Nicholas Collection which you can find on Etsy 

I sprayed the background with a dark green spray

Then added a few little embellishments 

And a quote from the Simple Encouragements set 

I found this frame at the op shop and have wanting to use it for so long but nothing seemed worthy until this beauty came along 

She is from the Winter Magic Card Toppers Set

Of course there has to be flowers, metal and some bling on here as well as an owl 

I added a flair for a little colour and cause I love flairs

I hope you liked everything I’ve shared this month so far I’m sure there’s more  come

 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 

Here you can see Alice in her Santa hat holding some Christmas bells ready for her adventure

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

    I resized some of the pictures for the inside of the journal 

After adding some texture to the backgrounds of each page I painted colors that suited the pictures and embellishments using acrylic paint and white gesso 

Most of the embellishments are from molds I have in my stash 

I used some metal and ribbons from my stash as well 

I added some pages to the middle so you can use it as a journal, also added a couple of pockets as well

Thank you for visiting I hope you come back soon xx
