♥ Alice in Wonderland ♥

Alice i Eventyrland er også en av mine favoritt bøker fra barndommen. Elsker historien om hattemakeren, hjerterdamen og alle de andre morsomme (og noen var jo veldig skumle..) usannsynlige figurene fra Lewis Carroll's utrolige fantasi! Motivet på kortet mitt er et digistempel fra Rick St. Dennis ♥

The Alice motif on my card is a digistamp from the awesome artist Rick St. Dennis ♥ Alice in Wonderland is another childrens book I absolutely adore and treasure ~ both the books and all the movies, animated version included ofcourse! Probably got 10+ misc. dvd's and blu-rays all about Alice :) 
The one with Johnny Depp is my favourite 'real' movie version ♥

  Pssst... Did you see my yummy Blogcandy!?..

..Everybody is a winner of my shroom digi freebie! :)..

Wicked Witch Bookmark

Trollmannen fra OZ er en av mine favoritt filmer, og jeg hadde boka også som barn. Da jeg malte dette motivet fra Sassy Studio Designs, så jeg for meg den Den onde heksa fra Vest ~ så det ble masse grønne fargetoner! :) 
Dette kortet er mitt bidrag som SSD gjeste-designer i oktober for denne ukens DTBST utfordring #305. ~ tema: 'Howling Good Time'.

The Wizard of Oz is one of my all-time fave movies, I had the book also when I was a kid, and I was very facinated by the The Wicked Witch of the West! So when I painted this witchy image to have on my Halloween themed bookmark, I went all green! :)
This is my GDT card for this weeks challenge at Sassy Studio Designs ~ {DTBST #305.} theme: Howling Good Time.

..it was a dark and Spooky night..

Råstilig monster stempel motiv, ikke sant? Akkurat i tide for Halloween! Men egentlig funker det vel året rundt, iallefall til en fantasy/scifi/horror fan som meg selv ~ the Walking Dead, Supernatural, Game of thrones, the Vampire Diaries, American Horror Story ++  er kjempefan av disse og mange flere. Og SSD er en av de få som har mange tøffe motiver i monster sjangeren!

Jeg er gjeste-designer denne måneden også for Sassy Studio Designs, og dette er mitt GDT bidrag til SSD's Oktober Progressive Utfordring, som foregår på facebook gruppa deres. .. som jeg nesten glemte av! Fant det ut helt i siste liten *puh*!
 
Om man deltar i denne utfordringen for første gang, mottar man et gratis digitalt stempel man bruker, og neste mnd. får man et nytt å bruke osv. hver mnd. Om man ikke bruker stemplet, må man kjøpe mnd. stempel for å være med igjen! Her er link til reglene :)

..Og så må du ikke overse den kjempeflotte Bloggcandy'en..

..som jeg har akkurat nå (tom. 25 november!) Alle er vinnere!!! :)..

Isn't this a gorgeous spooky babe? She's a cross between all the coolest monsters, ghost, zombie, frankensteins bride and a bit mummy.. a real ghoul! Had such fun coloring her up, then forgot all about it as my migraines kicked in, and tonight I got a flashback that I had something to deliver ~ to the Progressive challenge at SSD's FB group for October.

If you parttake in the ch. for the first time, you get the digistamp for free, otherwise you can buy in if you missed a month. The progressive part is you using that image and you get the next months image for free as long as you keep playing :) Stop by for the next one in November! Rules are listed here.

I'm a GDT at Sassy Studio Designs this month too, so I'm not participating in the Prog.ch. only doing a show & tell of this awesome image..  which I almost didn't make the deadline for *phew* Rushing the layout as I have, I'm not completely satisfied with it... but very happy with the coloring, not a usual type of color combo this, with pale eyes and a zombie skintone ;)

Yes, your Boobs needs Tender Loving Care too! ;)

• CHECK anything unusual with your doctor.
