A very important date.

Hmmmmmmm, I should not be posting this because its a gift for someone, but I just wanted to share it. I made this for a very close friend of mine who is turning thirty and well, that all of the details I should go into. We will just say it involves Alice in Wonderland. I will talk more about it later, but for now lets share!

This is it in its frame. It is basically a collage in which I used a photo I had from Central Park of the Alice in Wonderland statue, it was a perfect fit. I just played around with some fun bright colors, painting, glimmer misting and using the sewing machine once again. It was all just a big experiment and I think it came out just how I sort of envisioned it:)

The frame was trouble from the start. I wanted something that had a door that would open up and you could open the door and look at the details. Well I found the perfect one at Michaels for $10 and on the way home from the store I got on the wrong subway and got off and transferred to the right one. While waiting for the train, the handle on my bag broke and the frame broke, boo. I was so bummed, but thanks to a spare piece of glass from another old frame, I was able to replace it!

I used the Hambly I have been hoarding, the lime green woodgrain paper in the background, Butterfly paper behind the polaroid.

Here it is with the door open. I used your photo tip Cynthia:) Thank you.

Now I cannot wait to gift it to her!!!

Before I go, there is a new interview up at The Little Red suitcase. Tina from Life Love paper did a little Q & A which is very insightful when it comes to her photography process and her scrap booking process. So go and read and enjoy!!
