CHALLENGE #7: ALICE IN WONDERLAND

Everyone's favorite cracktastic classic, that had to be written with the help of drugs...
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

You may also choose to draw inspiration for it's sequel : Through the Looking Glass

Some Ideas:
Try to incorporate one or more of the following:
playing cards, chess pieces, hearts, crowns, tea cups, tea kettles, hats, cats, mushrooms, caterpillars, flowers, rabbits, clocks, the color sky blue...

Some quotes:
'Curiouser and curiouser!'

`we're all mad here.'

'shall I never get any older than I am now?'

`Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it.'

`Off with her head!'

"Drink me"

"Eat Me"

"I think she's pretty"

"There's no use in going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then."

See what the Design team did with it...


JULIE: inspired by the quote which describes her darling Brooke perfectly.
She's also got tons of flowers, a hat, some light blue, playing cards (a queen even!)
JULIE "I think she's pretty"

BREE: Bree sent this in way back at out DT call. I just loved it so! It's a canvas inspired by Alice. I love the 3D effect of the lace apron!

LOU: She's got playing cards and crowns galore on this pretty page about her sweet niece Kassi.

KIMMY: Inspired by the Jabberwocky poem in Through the Looking Glass. I had to memorize it in high school... still can quote most of it. I wrote the entire poem on the paper that I made myself in the center (using tissue paper/modge podge/ glimmer mist). I also included many elements from the Alice books in a collage around the poem: an illustration of Alice, a Queen of Hearts card, tea cup/tea pot tag w/ the words "drink me" on it, the tag from that Mad Hatter's hat, a cat, some Alice fan art, a crown, a garden, & a clock.

LORI: She used a quote from the book
"There's no use in going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then" and a lot of the same blue as Alice's dress, some flowers, and the word "journey" which is definitely a theme in the book.
