Wisdom from the Cheshire Cat!

Hello to You All, I hope today sees you well and having a good day. Another scorcher here, totally amazing heat.

Thank you all for the wonderfully encouraging comments on my canvas, you are so kind. I hung it on my wall earlier on today and it looks good, wonder what I'll tackle next.

Tomorrow sees me up and out early to get the bus down to Glasgow to meet up Rita, a lovely friend from Ayrshire. Some of you may know Rita as she does have a blog and she is one of our CCC ladies. It's been a while since we last met up so there will be lots to catch up on. It's a full day away for me as I'm on the bus for around 71/2 hours, but it will be worth it.

I have a card to share and the theme of it is Alice in Wonderland, and I'm joining in the Alice in Wonderland Challenge which you can find here, which is being hosted by Jannet at Enchanted Place Blog. Apparently it's Alice Day on the 7th July, so only a few days left to enter the challenge.

Alice in Wonderland was the first "big girl" book my parents bought me, I still have it, and it's been a favourite since way back when, so I thought it would be fun to join in. Now I searched through my stash to see if I had anything I could use, and here is what I came up with;

I made a background with Oxides and then stamped the pocket watch stamp. I then stamped a CB landscape edge, wanting to give the impression of woods in the distance. The little playing cards are from my Christmas cracker of a few years ago ( Moreen always buys posh crackers), so they were just perfect. I found a clock wooden embellishment and popped that on too. The sentiment with the Cheshire Cat is from the internet.. I didn't think it needed any gems or sparkle, and besides it might go to a male friend  who is retiring.

Well, that's me for now, hoping to get around your blogs tonight, but I think it will be an early to bed, I was going to say I'll be up at the crack of dawn, but that would be about 4 o'clock, actually at this time of the year, it hardly gets dark at all. So I'll say cheerio for now  and see you soon,
