Oh Alice ... CHAPTER 38 :: Tickets Please!

`Tickets, please!' said the Guard, putting his head in at the window. In a moment everybody was holding out a ticket: they were about the same size as the people, and quite seemed to fill the carriage.

`Now then! Show your ticket, child!' the Guard went on, looking angrily at Alice. And a great many voices all said together (`like the chorus of a song,' thought Alice), `Don't keep him waiting, child! Why, his time is worth a thousand pounds a minute!

`I'm afraid I haven't got one,' Alice said in a frightened tone: `there wasn't a ticket-office where I came from." And again the chorus of voices went on. `There wasn't room for one where she came from. The land there is worth a thousand pounds an inch!'

-- Chapter 3, Through the Looking Glass

Greetings friends in Wonderland! We are FULL STEAM AHEAD into November and today's challenge is JUST the ticket! Our ride this week is sponsored by our own Tasha who is generously donating a $15 gift certificate to Stamping Bella (in honor of their cute new Alice stamp) which will be awarded to one randomly selected winning traveler!

But before we get started, there are some changes at our twisted tea party table! We are bidding farewell to longtime design team members Jen and Suzi, so please leave them some extra love as you visit their last Oh, Alice! DT posts. We will really miss their superb talents! Donna, our amazing October guest designer, is stepping up to the table so we are back to our twisted thirteen. Welcome Donna, we are so glad you are staying where it's always time for tea! Be sure to check back next week for to find out who our guest designer will be for the holiday season!

So, do you have YOUR ticket ready for a ride on the Wonderland Express? Our twisted sis Lynne is the conductor this week and she says you can't travel with Oh, Alice! if you don't show us your ticket! You can make a ticket, use a ticket stamp, use a real ticket. Use one ticket or a whole row of tickets! So hop on it and get YOUR ticket ready to take a journey through Wonderland!

Check out all my lovely twisted sisters cards on the Oh, Alice blog!!
Here is my card...

I used the GORGEOUS DCWV Mariposa stack I got from the Paper festival yesterday... one of those paper stacks I LOVE and can barely bear to use! hehe!
Alice is a Mo Manning image.. so sweet isn't she (coloured with E000, E00, E11, R11, E 30, 31, 33, B000, B91, B93, C1) .. and the ticket I made up on my computer - using one of the original Alice images... the one that goes with this piece of text from the story.

Here's a larger version of my ticket and please feel free to take it for yourselves to use :D Just click on it to make it bigger and save to your computer! Would love to see what you use it on!


It's time for you to get those tickets ready so you can travel with us on the Wonderland Express! You don't want to be left behind as this train leaves the station, so enter your new creations by 8 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 12 using the InLinkz tool below. Good luck, or maybe we should say Bon Voyage, as we can't wait to see where your creations will take us!

  12. I am so thrilled that I'm not the only one who used that image from the same scene that the text came from this week. LOVE that! The way you used it on a ticket image is just brilliant, and I am so impressed with your vintage card! LOVE the Mo Alice, such a lovely image and the papers are fabulous!
