Honestly I have but a few moments to spare. I've been trying to enter The Altered Alice Challenge for months and things have conspired against me. Not exactly what I had planned, but it works. Have to post. I'll be back!
I MISSED IT!!!! I'm gonna CRY!!!!! SERIOUSLY! This card did not want to happen. I originally designed it in Cricut Craft Room LAST WEEK and it WOULDN'T CUT! WTF! I spent hours learning the program only to find out that the ONLY cartridge I chose to use (Celebrate With Flourish) wasn't recognized by the new software, huh? the words are from All Mixed Up which sort of fits. Don't get me started on this... Well, no time to redesign because I had DT projects to do and post and gee, maybe some laundry and cooking? So this week I redesigned the card in DS. But colors and patterns? and worse yet, I'm feeing BLIND with new contacts and I had another appt TODAY which was even WORSE! Just kill me now. Maybe I should hang up all this crafting stuff. Between that and arthritis. Maybe time to put this old girl down. (Can you tell I've had a couple of glasses of wine with lunch? Probably a bad idea, but... ) the fab stamps are The Octopode Factory. And blind me had a B--tch of a time coloring them but I was DETERMINED! But it was all for NOUGHT because I MISSED the CHALLENGE. SERIOUSLY, SHOOT ME NOW!!!! (But not until I have another glass of wine!) Now I wish I taken the time to flock and emboss the hat, oh well...
UPDATE!!!!!! Lynne to the RESCUE!!!!! The clock to Linky was 7 minutes fast so I was entered! WooHoo!!!!!! I love you Lynne! Thanks so much. (Bet you guys think I'm nursing a hangover, but I'm not, HA!)
And ANOTHER update!!! WooHoo! I'm so happy and proud to be among the Honorable Mentions for this challenge! What an honor to be chosen. The entries were AMAZING! See them HERE, and thank you so much!
This is really gorgeous! Not bad for a tardy, blind, drunk lady! Don't feel bad Donna, I still haven't played along since Lynne took over. I want to, but that damn month just flies by and before I know it, it's too late. Better luck next challenge.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Oh you always make my giggle, lol! I missed our challenge (BBTB2) this week (sorry), I thought I was doing good too but got the weeks mixed up, lol! So I can totally relate to how your feeling and I do have to laugh because I was calling myself a Dumb A** cuz I had a really cute idea for the Birds (and I can't even use the excuse of wine or anything for that matter, maybe that's my problem, I need to have a drink first, LOL!) I also had to comment because McCade found a new book at the bookstore called Alice in Zombieland, he's totally into Zombies lately, lol, him and Heather would get along great, don't you think! Well even tho you missed it, it sure came out cute (if that's possible) LOL!!!

Oh no!!!! There's two things bad there!
ReplyDelete1. I've just started making my altered Alice challenge which means I missed it too!!! arrgggghhhhh.... (Sorry, made it about me there for a minute. lol)
2. You can't hang up your crafting! you have enough fan base to get completely medically overhauled with new eyes and new hands, even a cook, a cleaner and buy you a winery. When you produce such awesome stuff I'm glad you are determined! That card is amazing! Flock and emboss not even required. Love it! Love the clock behind too. Is that from a cart?
I totally relate to the vision thing! I was all excited to get my new glasses, but they made them for distance (which I don't really neeeed) so I'm staring at the card, thinking WTH???... maybe Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteAnd Sorry, but you can't quit :D. It's a lovely card, making it more difficult to resist those great stamps. TFS :D
As for that Celebrate With Flourish, it is the one cart I can't get loaded up on my Gypsy so what's up with THAAAAAT?.... This card is just darling...so sorry you missed the challenge. Have another glass of vino and it will take you a few steps beyond your frustration and move you into Happy Happy Me Land. I've been told anyway. You cannot leave this paper talent ..EVERRRRR so donchooooo EVENNNNN say it again. We simply will not allow it.

Amazing card!
ReplyDeleteThe Altered Alice zooms to the rescue of drunken stampers everywhere! Never fear - Your comment on the blog post with the link to your project WAS posted before the deadline, so I manually added you to the Linky list! I did a test and it looks like the clock on the Linky server is running about 7 minutes fast compared to my computer and cell phone clock. I will manually adjust for that next month! So if you want to edit your blog post to update your challenge status, go ahead! :-)
ReplyDeleteWow Donna this is FAB FAB FAB! love it! your colouring is great
ReplyDeleteFabulous card Donna. As for all the other stuff...cooking, cleaning, crafting (wait! don't put crafting in there)...I'll send another bottle of wine. Hugs...Kris
ReplyDeleteSounds like your week has been like mine. Your card is flipping awesome. I love the font, and your coloring is amazing. Does not look like you had a hard time coloring. Great choice of colors!! I am so glad you made it into the challenge. Yippee.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous WOA!! I wish I could colour like you!!
ReplyDeleteWell, all I can say is that if this is what you do when you are blind and drunk then heaven help us when you can see and are sober!!!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous entry.....thanks for playing along with Altered Alice!!!
They say that everything happens for a reason. Personally, I'm glad the linky clock was seven minutes fast, because otherwise, I wouldn't be here telling you how great your card is! :)
