Double Challenge

Today, the Little Paper Shop is sponsoring both the Oh, Alice! challenge (swirls) and the Card Patterns sketch. So here is my card!

I used the digi stamp *Alice from LPS. I opened it in Photoshop to color it, added a flourish from a brush that I had installed forevah ago and added the sentiment "Curiouser and curiouser...". I then mixed it with some Basic Grey Romani and DCWV CS.
Positive note of the day: Pre-posting this before Cal-gals. Gawd, I need a break. Avery is at the age when she is into everything. Today I vacuumed up cat litter twice (the second happening after I just got the vacuum put away again). And then, Charlotte decided to spread her excess red nail polish on the granite countertop. I am sure they are trying to kill me. I think I just need some downtime before one of them pushes me over the edge. (P.S. Most of this is said "tongue in cheek" even if I do think I need a month long nap!)

When Sophie get so "alive" and turn the house upside down... I try to confort myself by telling me that her motor skills are improving... But something hard to pass throw the mess I have to agree! Here is a HUG. Have a great day Allison

Love your use of ribbons instead of a layered paper, very unique! I can relate with you on struggling to have a undisturbed "me" time.

I entered the same two challenges with my card, LOL! Swirls and sketch 66! Love the way you ran the sentiment vertically, nice touch!
