Alice Scraps Wonderland

I just love getting co-op work from my photographer cousin, Kelly. Her and her husband's photos are amazing and I get to see beautiful blushing brides, sweet infants and darling 1-year-olds covered in cake and frosting. The best photos to work with are those with obvious themes. Recently, I created a custom disc case for an adorable baby girl in a cute little crocheted mermaid set.

I just love a beautiful sunset. Here in Bronco Country, we cherish them. It's why the Denver Bronco's colors are orange and blue. But I will take a gorgeous sunset anywhere and as a traveler, I've seen sunsets all over the world, including Washington D.C.; Vienna, Austria; Prague, Czech Republic; Aukland, New Zealand and Sydney, Australia!

I've now thrown two tea party bridal showers with the help of some wonderful family members. But the one thing I know I can do all on my own is creating a handmade card for the bride-to-be.

I know it has been a long time since I have posted anything on my blog. I feel like everything always happens all at once. I accepted a freelance video editing job, I was building a website for my flute choir (yes, flute choir is still a thing), our bathroom is in the midst of a remodel and there were delays because things ended up having to be special ordered, my grandmother's roof has a leak but now it really turns out the exhaust hose to the furnace came unattached and is spewing carbon monoxide into her attic (this was taken care of ASAP!), Honda has had it's third recall on the driver's side airbag of my grandmother's car (for crying out loud, Honda, is too much to ask that you get it right the first time around?!), my windshield needed replacing, my mom's transmission still needs work, now my grandmother's windshield needs replacing, I've had to get a flat tire patched on my car and then ended up replacing it after it ended up with a nail in the sidewall, my dad is constantly bothering me about coming over to get his mail at my house even though he knows I'm hardly ever home ("Why hasn't he gotten all of it transferred over to his house yet?," you ask. I can't answer that one for you because I. literally. don't. know. the. answer. to that one.), rehearsals for band and flute choir started in earnest, birthdays and birthdays galore (sister, mom, me, friends, cousin, sister, more friends…), gardening at 2 houses, landscaping (I've been on my own for this one), I've been making accessories for my Halloween costume because my flute choir is getting dressed up in costume for our Halloween concert, now I have to make stand decorations and flute/piccolo costumes!

Tea parties must be popular right now, or at least they're popular among my family! Last month I helped my "bonus mom" (sounds so much nicer than step-mother, doesn't it?), Jane, throw a bridal shower for her daughter, Carmella.

This week's Shadowhunters Fan Art Friday (#SHFanArtFriday) subject is the spooky but helpful shadowhunter "librarians," the Silent Brothers of the Silent City (#FanArtFridaySilentBrothers).

Shadowhunters Rune Tag: The Silent Brothers by Alice Scraps Wonderland | The Silent Brothers are creepy but also ethereal. Their focus is academia and protecting the dead. Washed out hues, stitching, bones and the soundless rune all represent this.

Shadowhunters Rune Tags by Alice Scraps Wonderland | Each tag features a rune worn by Cassandra Clare's shadowhunter characters from her novels as well as lots of shimmery elements that would make High Warlock of Brooklyn and glitter love, Magnus Bane, proud! Catch ABC Family's premier of Shadowhunters, adapted from Clare's The Mortal Instruments series, in early 2016!

Who doesn't love a good book? My favorite past time is curling up in a cozy spot and getting lost in a new world, one far away from my own life. It's like an escape.

If you've noticed, I've been a little silent on my blog lately. That's because I haven't been able to get much scrapbooking done and it's not because I've been super busy. It's because the power cord to my Silhouette Cameo shorted out.

Yes. Flute Choir is a thing.

If you have never been to a flute choir concert, you should attend one because they are amazing! I'm not just saying this because I myself am a "flutie" or because I am a member of the Pikes Peak Flute Choir, but because they truly are amazing.

If you read my blog regularly, you know about the difficult relationship my Oma (grandmother) and I have. I won't rehash it here, but if you missed my previous blog posting detailing some of the issues my Oma and I have had, read my post entitled "The Vintage Wedding Scrapbook Layout that Almost Wasn't."

For those of you that have been following me on social media (especially Instagram) for a while know that I love to garden. I didn't realize how enjoyable it was until we landscaped my mother's front yard. When I first planted all those day lilies and the lilac bush I though, "Gee, I hope I don't kill all these plants we just spent a ton of money on!"

I've recently expanded my mixed media techniques from the 12x12 scrapbook page to handmade cards. So I made a special card for my mom for Mother's Day. I figure a woman who moves into her elderly mother's house to take care of her mom, gives up her life and worldly possessions while still working a day job, deserves a very special Mother's Day card!

April is a very busy month for birthdays in my family. I was literally making cards all month long! Now that that May is finally here, I can share them all with you!

First I'll start with my dad's birthday card. My dad works for the local Coca-Cola warehouse so I used my Silhouette to create this cute Coke can card!
