I’m joining in on the bi-weekly theme: Alice in Wonderland over at Tag Tuesday. I’m also sharing my work desk with the Wednesday group (waves hello!)
I’m not a big Alice fan, but I know there are a lot of people who are. I’ve seen a lot of Junk Journal’s on this theme, and people requesting items on swap-bot. I found a small paperback copy for .50 printed by Chick-Fila at the thrift store to use to create with. I used an old queen of hearts playing card as my base and added a black tag top to it. I had fun cutting out what I thought I might create with, and I still have a lot of pages to use or share.
I thought the story behind the story was interesting, so I’m sharing that here if you would like to have a read:
by Lewis Carroll retold by Mary Weber (Author), Isidre Mones (Illustrator)
Enjoy the rest of the week!

Love your Alice tags. Great idea to use an old book,and a piece of a playing card, and you still have lots left for other projects, that’s great. And a lovely idea to tell how the story originated. It’s a fun story for kids. Thanks so much for joining us with your lovely tags at Tag Tuesday, much appreciated. I’m off now for n afternoon nap, have a great day, stay safe! Hugs, Valerie

I am an Alice fan and I love the idea you had for using a playing card as a backdrop for your Alice tags. What a wonderful thing to find a book so inexpensive to help you with crafting in this theme.

I know that Neet is a big Alice fan so I’m glad she has seen this and commented already! Using the playing card is a great way to base the tag, very clever indeed. I like the White Rabbit too. Another interesting thing to see on your desk today!

Oh great job on the tags Karen. I admire your ‘going to’ and finding out some stuff you could use. I’m not an Alice fan either, it seems to have really taken off huh, our local gift shop even has a tea set with Alice figures. I must say that you work neatly, the end-of-work picture is as neat as my desk ever gets!

I LOVE your Alice-pieces, I created a few myself years ago (for a swap) and bought me a second-hand book to cut also, it should be somewhere in my closet and seeing your blogpost, my fingers start to itch. I might go find the book and create an ‘Alice-page’… Thanks for visiting my blog the other day, have a nice weekend. Hug from Holland. Marit #8

What a lovely Alice post! Your tags are gorgeous, and what a cool idea to base the first one on a playing card. I can’t say I’m a huge Alice fan and have never made anything on that theme, but nothing against it either. Your background info was an interesting inclusion in the post too because I am sure a lot of people aren’t aware of the background. Alice has become such an important part of our culture! One new expression that’s entered the vernacular recently that I’ve become aware of constantly is “down the rabbit hole” which I appreciate because it speaks volumes! (Well, perhaps only the one volume lol!) Very nice work with the tags, anyway.
Happy belated WOYWW,
