Oh Alice ... CHAPTER 24: Windows and Broken Glass...

`Now tell me, Pat, what's that in the window?'
`Sure, it's an arm, yer honour!' (He pronounced it `arrum.')
`An arm, you goose! Who ever saw one that size? Why, it fills the whole window!'
`Sure, it does, yer honour: but it's an arm for all that.'
`Well, it's got no business there, at any rate: go and take it away!'

There was a long silence after this, and Alice could only hear whispers now and then; such as, `Sure, I don't like it, yer honour, at all, at all!' `Do as I tell you, you coward!' and at last she spread out her hand again, and made another snatch in the air. This time there were TWO little shrieks, and more sounds of broken glass. `What a number of cucumber-frames there must be!' thought Alice. `I wonder what they'll do next! As for pulling me out of the window, I only wish they COULD! I'm sure I don't want to stay in here any longer!'

and here's mine...
I had a few disasters this week... I'd seen people do the scracked glass effect and I thought that I could get that efffect by freezing glossy accents! NO way!! it DID not work! LOL ... still a sludgy mess on the table. lol! So then this morning I found out it was clear embossing powder... I might not have put enough on or left it in long enough.. but it did not really crack...so anyway.. I still have the window effect as I used my labels nesties to create a window in the card! Perhaps I'll try it again one day. LOL! Might need to actually see a tutorial first! LOL! The colours I used are: B00, 02, 05, 32, 60, C1, 3, 5, 0, R20, 32, 35, 37, E000, 02, 00, 30, 31, 51, 53, 55, and RV19
