Lots and lots of pretty things

Some Pages for Reed's "Girly" Book . . .






Don't use pink a lot, but why not? I'm not into gender-specific coloring, so here it is. ***Ahem. So this page needs some serious editing, clearly. Back later for that one.

A favorite . . .



I didn't send this one to the design call over at Pink Ninjas, but I thought about it.
Ah, well. What can you do?

A few favorites . . . (layouts, actually, rather than ATCs)


. . . and, the Alice versions


Please don't ask how/why these are Alice in Wonderland cars. Because they have mushrooms and keyholes and crowns on them? And words/phrases that define the story? Ahem. These are supposed to be vintage-y, rockin'roll-y, modern interpretations of Alice -- an ode to the Burton/Danny Elfman/Johhny Depp/Helena Bonham Carter Alice in Wonderland/Looking Glass, which, as it were, I can't wait to see. Behold: item in mirror took longer to make than it might first appear . . .

Glitter ATCS

Turned these in last week and am realizing that my Alice interpretations are also . . . pretty glittery. Ah, well. All hail the glitter this week.

Vintagy Vintage

I may have mentioned that I'd forgotten to take pictures of the ATC Vintage swap; Ally posted up close and personal pictures of each person's design. If you want to view them, and/or read a very fun craft blog by a really talented person, take a look: http://allyserrato.blogspot.com/

I handed off my glitter ATCs today and think I was supposed to deliver Alice in Wonderland cards. Ack! I guess I better make these immediately since I seem to have transposed some dates. After that, it's a Halloween version. I think I might take a break despite how fun these little swaps are so I can, perhaps, make a layout or two in the near future.

Tomorrow, I'll upload some pics of the glittery glittersons though I've posted some half-baked phone shots to Facebook. I think that's it for now.

Some of you I'm sure have heard me talk about the Pink, or Pink Pineapple. It's my favorite little scrapbook haven and the only store I shop at with the exception of some online purchasing (kit clubs, primarily). I think it's vitally important to support local stores; small businesses need our support, and there's such a great community there. I might overspend, but I feel good about putting money into something I love and which contributes to the continuation of a great place. Take a look:
