OH, DEAR ALICE.

Because it's a season of change (well, for me), here's a layout completely different from what i usually do. 

It's a layout with a secret door. A lot like in the story it is about (and that wasn't even made on purpose, thank you subconscious!) I did it during my "use one collection only" challenge, still using American Crafts and the Dear Lizzy collection. Super super colorful papers, which looks extra fun in my album! 
The layout is about Alice's adventure in Wonderland, one of my old time favorite book. When in New York, we went to Central Park and i literally ran to the sculptures i knew were there. Then took way too many photos. Because i wanted the layout to be about the story too, i picked some of my favorite quotes from the book and printed them on vellum. And here's how the layout turned out:  

I picked a one color background for my base, then found this multicolor stripped paper. perfection. Added two extra detailed photos behind the door. On the top i created little clusters that would serve as clue to tell you there is something underneath. Also, i just love gold arrows and pink butterflies. The "door" opens thanks to the gold washi i used on the right border. At this point i considered adding even more gold but then decided the layout was pretty busy already.

I'll leave you with this quote: "Have i gone mad?" "I'm afraid so, but let me tell you something, the best people usually are."
