Oh Alice ... CHAPTER 33 :: DICTIONARY of Nonsense

Alice didn't dare to argue the point, but went on: `-- and I thought I'd try and find my way to the top of that hill -- '


`When you say "hill,"' the Queen interrupted, `I could show you hills, in comparison with which you'd call that a valley.'
`No, I shouldn't,' said Alice, surprised into contradicting her at last: `a hill can't be a valley, you know. That would be nonsense -- '
The Red Queen shook her head, `You may call it "nonsense" if you like,' she said, ` but I've heard nonsense, compared with which that would be as sensible as a dictionary!'
--Ch. 2: Through the Looking Glass

Greetings from Wonderland! Before we commence this week's challenge, LOTS of tea-toasting to our FABULOUS new October Guest at Tea: DONNA BUDZYNSKI! Donna's amazing work caught our eye a while back and we are thrilled to have her joining us! A VERY MERRY unbirthday to you, Donna! WELCOME!

DT member Lynne is challenging us this week is to use TEXT in a NONSENSE way - not to read, but as a pattern in your card. Use a page from an old dictionary or other book, stamp a background text stamp or use a text-patterned paper in your creation. Link up your NEW CREATIONS and the design team will stop by to do some CREATIVE READING as we look at your entries this week!

The Greeting Farm is our SPONSOR this week, and not only are we thrilled to have them again, the prize just got sweeter! There is a RUBBER SINGLE OF CHOICE up for grabs for this challenge AS WELL as the highly-sought after "Wonderland" digital stamp set!

Check out what the players in our twisted tea party have created to inspire you this week:


and here is mine...

I altered a Creepy Critter with Spotlight Anya.. giving her slightly different hair! I think this combo works quite well! I also coloured the background of my image! AND I airbrushed an old dictionary page to make the background on the card .. NONSENSE text enough?? I also cut the flower and butterfly shapes out of the dictionary page!! AND I stamped up some sentiments from The Greeting Farm too!!


Nonsense you say? Believe it! You have through Friday, October 8th at 8pm CST to enter to WIN the above prizes! Pop over to Oh, Alice and link up your entry now!!
