After much faffing about I went with something else! My choice has, however, caused some consternation over at Sweet Stampin' Towers as I am now responsible for putting a naughty song in the heads of my lovely Teamies! I decided on "Livin' Next Door to Alice" from all those years ago when I was a teenager. And then I remembered that a certain rotund comedian (and I use the term loosely) did his own version...
Moving swiftly on... I stamped a row of Magnolia houses and put my Alice image in front of them using sticky pads. The papers are also Magnolia and I added a punch MS border, lots of Wild Orchid Crafts flowers and some blue ribbon to finish it off.
I do hope you can come over to Sweet Stampin' to take a look at what the rest of the DT have made to inspire you. It would be great to have you playing along with us this week - remember to stamp and, this week, to mention on your post the song or film behind your creation.
Many apologies for being away from my blog this week. Work has been pretty full-on but I hope to be able to get back to normal in a week or so.
Have a lovely weekend!
Hugs
Tracey xx

Hmmm..yes, well. Nuff said I think, suffice to say we were almost all well acquainted with the said song already lol! Except for I think 1 of us who immediately shot off to you tube despite being warned not to (no names mentioned of course Jenny!)
joking aside sweetie, it's a wonderful card. Hope next week is a little calmer for you xx

I think those little houses are a fun background and that decorative edged card base is soooo pretty. I think you fixed Alice up right nice! Hugs!

Hi Tracey - sorry it's taken me ages to come visit, can I blame that totally on the school hols, hope so!!
Have just been having a wander back through your blog looking at all the gorgeous creations and also singing the Alice song and Abba's scooter(!) song.
I'll be popping by a lot more frequently now She Who Must be Obeyed is back at school. I think I have to be very thankful that, on the whole, She has always wanted to go to nursery/school - I don't run very fast, too much wobble goes on!!!!!!!!!
