Alice, part 3

Hi there everyone. Can you believe it is only a week until Christmas and even fewer days until Hanukkah begins? And Saturday we are officially into winter, but the good news is after that the days will be getting longer, even if it is not rapidly. I will still take that! I am not fond of so much dark.

I am back today with spread 3 from my Alice in Christmasland storybook.

You can read parts 1 and 2 here and here if you have no idea what I am writing about.

So I couldn't do this story without a tea party. That is so essential (in my mind) to the whole Alice story. Plus, making tea themed art is so much fun.

So I created this part of the tea party spread using some more Studio Light/Art by Marlene images and a Stamperia paper teapot image. I also used an old Hero Arts teacup stamp and a couple of tea themed charms, as well as creating the outer part of the teabag.
Here's what the words say:

It's Always Tea Time
Quietly Alice snuck out from under the chair 
and made her way to the table nearby.
Being an athlete, Alice was able to climb up the chair leg and then jump
from the chair onto the table.
Mother had her china and teacups
set out on the table already for Christmas breakfast.
And her sister Mary, in her typical little girl fashion
left some toys on the table also.

For this part of the spread I used more Studio Light/Art by Marlene and Stamperia paper. I created the rabbit and also stamped a few other items.
The left page says
Let's have a tea party.
We can eat cream cakes and strawberries.
Curious and curiouser.

And the right side says
"Psst." said the rabbit.
Alice looked around.
"I am down here"
Alice looked down to the floor and saw the rabbit.

And finally,  a page with some more the story. I painted the page with both red and pink paint. I stamped the clocks and words, Then after adding the story words, I added some clock hands and a little metal clock charm.

This page goes:

"Come with me" said the rabbit. "I can help you.

But you better hurry since we are late."

"Help me?  You are a toy rabbit. How can you help me?"

Alice questioned.

"I can take you to the queen and she can help you get back to normal.

But we must hurry.  But it is 11 PM and we must do this before Santa arrives

at midnight  or else she loses her power for another year."

"The queen?" Alice was thoroughly confused.

"The Queen of Hearts of course. She is a real witch 

excet at Christmas when her heart fills with love."

Alice shrugged. It was worth a try.

So Alice hopped down onto a chair and then

onto the floor and had to run quickly to keep up with the rabbit.

Once again I am linking up to Yvonne's fun challenge at Art Journal Journey I am also linking up to Moo Mania and their latest challenge which is Anything Goes.

I hope you are enjoying my story and I also want to thank you for stopping by to visit my blog.
