Once again we have a Smeared and Smudged Monthly Member Blog Hop!
Do hop by, have fun and have a look at the amazing creations!!
You shoulad have arrived here from Maureen and your next step is Lisa
but if you need to start at the beginning please go back to Black Dragon
So today's theme is
I have had some Alice papers on my computer for years from Crafts-U-Print - I decided to use these to mat two sides of a 6 by 6 chipboard...This is the first side - steampunky hearts.

I often make ATCs but have never done APCs before - Altered Playing cards - but I thought Alice leant itself to this...
Using Alice digis from the Octopode Factory, coloured with Promarkers I made the following:
I then added these to my base with a quote, some cogs and a key...
"I can't go back to yesterday Because I was a different person then"
The reverse side started like this - a layer of blue then the DP...
But now some exciting days - I have just been invited to join the new Rosey Hearts DT
where the first challenge has just begun
I decided to use Rosey Hearts Always Alice digi on here, again coloured with Promarkers and with another quote.
Finally a few extras to finish it off...
Enjoy the hop!
Happy Crafting!
