Starting from the beginning... Thursday night I popped over to Lee's blog "Crafty Loops" for a visit. She had posted a fabulous tutorial on flower making with petals (that was the beginning). I shopped to my heart's content for all the supplies I would need (and then some...), came home all excited to follow Lee's wonderful instructions and went in search for one of my three hot glue guns (did I ever mention I have five children, all grown, but still my children...)and couldn't locate even one! Thoroughly distraut and depressed, curled up on the couch, ate cake and watched Alice in Wonderland. After my "pity party for one", with renewed determination, I returned to my workspace and had the Ah-ha moment - ended up using my tape gun, which worked perfectly! I knew I wanted to make an "alice" card for a sweet friend's birthday this month, so got to work finding the image, using the spotlight technique (my favorite technique when scrapbooking, but first time using it on a card and I love it!) with my "hoarded" American Craft glitter paper, made my first stick pin with a corsage pin and beads and findings from my shopping spree. Used the sketch over at Digi Doodle and created my easel birthday "Alice in Wonderland" card for Allison - end of story! (my favorite card to date!) :)
Check out Lee's site - she is wonderful and so is the site!
Happy Day to you, Friends!
((((hugs))))

I love the black and white with a deep red heart centre. It goes perfectly with your card. I tell you what though, If thats the type of pity party you have......I want to lose a glue gun or two too! lol. Thanks so much for giving my blog a shout out and making the flower too.
