I used the amazing Dark Fairy tales images goldilocks that Ike designed.
I covered a wooden photo frame with tissue paper and decoupaged it down. added some netting and flowers and the "flower" at the bottom is made with feathers! that was part of the challenge for the Junk Funk this month. Use feathers :)

Dark Fairy Tales with Poisoned Peas Please

Hello everyone and welcome to our 6th Challenge at Poisoned Peas Please (PPP). Our theme this time around is “Dark” Fairy Tales.
 Our 6th challenge begins today and ends Sept. 8. We want to see any kind of art you want to create, be it cards, altered art, ATCs, journal pages, fat books, anything that your heart desires, but we want an actual fairy tale with a “dark” nature.
 Most of the original fairy tales are very dark, at least until Disney got a hold of them. ;o) That’s what we want to see, the “dark” in that fairy tale.




Our sponsor for PPP’s “Dark” Fairy Tale challenge is one of our own Design Team Members, Ike. Ike has created some brand new images for our design team to work with. You need to check out her store, Ike’s Art, for some of her newest designs. Ike’s illustration talent is out of this world.

 the winner of the challenge will get

My project is just the begining of a book I am making for myself.
I am altering a little book I grabbed from the dollar store..

I used Rapunzel from Ike's digis! Isn't she beautiful?
I decoupaged her down, just so she will stay tight. I used some of my Graphic 45 paper stash, which I will use for the whole book.. some beautiful flowers and a little wooden bird to finish off the cover of my book.
I can't wait to work on more. I am excited to see how it will turn out.

make sure you play along with our challenge!

something cute and random

I picked up a couple little mini composition books in the school supply area..
I figured they would be fun to alter..
and they were.
so fast!
I used tissue paper and then decoupaged it down.. added a ribbon for a bookmark..
taa-daa!

I have so many things sitting on my shelf waiting for me to play with them. I just need more time!

I hope to do a little at a time and share :)

Challenge #5 Poisoned Peas Please- Unusual Alice

now. you all know or should know by now..

Alice In Wonderland is my favorite of all favorites of everything!

I absolutely adore everything AIW!!

so this was a fun one

we got to use images from our very own  Tracy Malnofski @
Stamping Boutique

I used Alice of course and put her in a double sided photo frame.

I painted and crackled the frame

colored her and blinged her

added some "AIW" embellies and ribbon

pretty cute no?
sorry for the poopy pics. no matter what I did ( I took like fifty pics) there was a glare on Alice.. so I had to pic the best pics
