Winners!

Thanks Stampendous for being such a generous sponsor: THREE lucky winners will each receive the same Wonderland Perfectly Clear Stamp Set that the The Altered Alice and Stampendous design teams have been showing off all month. Thank goodness the winners are randomly drawn, as it would have been WAY too difficult to chose from among the wonderful entries this month. As promised, each entry that featured Wonderland was entered twice. Winners, please send your contact info (including mailing address) via my email link in the upper left column.

Winners, you are all entitled to display this blog badge with pride!

Our first winner chosen by random.org is #3: Ana Cristina Caldatto of Scrap da Ana comes to us from Sao Paulo, Brazil, where she designed an all new blue and white dress for Alice! A very clever take on the challenge.

Our next random.org selected winner is #9: Skullduggery (Cards by Jacki) entered a splendidly colored Mad Hatter, ready for tea with Alice!

Our third and final winner is #21, joining us from Munich, Germany: Artwolf2009 presents Hat Fashions by Alice who has taken up millinery in a big way! She is showing off a selection of charming hats for splendidly dressed Wonderland residents, made from converted Schnapps shot glasses! VERY interesting take on the challenge!

Honorable Mentions

Those mentioned here are entitled to display this honorable mention blog badge! I am having a terrible time narrowing it to a few selections as ALL the entries were amazing and so creative! I will pick and choose until I run out of time:

I had to mention Izzwizz's paper dolls; she is joining us from the United Kingdom. The clothes are on an a clear acetate layer (labeled Alice meets the White Knight and Splendidly Dressed) so when you lift the clear layer. . .

Their clothes go with it! Then we are warned that there is nudity inside!!! Are you ready?

Yup, full frontal nudity on that the White Rabbit, but there are a couple outfits to clothe him if you are offended, LOL!  VERY creative, Izzwizz! Bravo!

This offering from Le Blog de Gabistella shows Alice trying to finish sewing her splendid dress of flowers as it is time for tea! Gabistella comes to us from France, Canada, or somewhere else they speak French; if you would like to read an English translation click here.

Bonnie McLain of Love Light and Peace brings us this Boutique a la Alice art journal page. I am absolutely charmed by the vivid colors and the clothes made from scraps, ribbon and lace!

Jan Garber of Scrap 'n Surprise joins us from Phoenix, Arizona with this elegantly mirrored creation! She used the same gorgeous Alice set from Stampendous, isn't it beautiful AND clever - she stamped Alice on vellum, which enabled her to flip the image to make the perfect reflection! I love every single detail of this piece.

Karen Goulet of Krafty Kitten Karen shares her original artwork: Alice finds the perfect hat that fits just right at Hats by Goldilocks, where there are some origami-like hats, very clever!

You know I adore the Tim Burton Alice movie, and Godzoned (Debbie) of Arty Crafty has interpreted three of Alice's costumes from the movie - the Queen of Hearts red curtains, her striped petticoat, and the suit of armor as the White Queen's champion when she fought the Jabberwocky. Love it!

I couldn't resist this one from Jen's Uncharted Territory, coming to us from North Carolina. How would the Cheshire Cat be splendidly dressed? With a snazzy collar and patch of course! Plus the sentiment a la ZZ Top, dare I admit they were huge when I was in high school and college, hah!

Julie of Aisling's Hobby Blog joins us from Belgium, and I really love this creation with a splendidly dressed Alice blowing bubbles in a very mad, Wonderland-like setting. The sentiment is perfect for Wonderland and every element delights!

I love everything about his gorgeous tag by Kate of The Scrap Yard. Every little thing.

I'll end on a humorous note by Sue The Iron who is joining us from West Yorkshire in the United Kingdom. I don't understand the whole Bieber thing, but it's funny all the same! I especially love the background and borders.

And here are ALL the amazing entries! (Note: if you are viewing this in email or a reader, click on the title of this post to go to the blog and see all the wonderful projects from our challenge players!)

Thanks again to Stampendous for sponsoring such a great challenge.

I hope you enjoyed this month's challenge as much as I did. Be sure to visit next Sunday for the beginning of a new challenge!
