is filled with Alice in Wonderland. There is also the new

Alice in Wonderland movie with Johnny Dep. And, of course

we can't forget Walt Disney's animated movie.

Here is an image you can use or there are many more original

Victorian Web.

Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries

Absolutely fabulous entries this week. Thank you

everyone. And, I see we have some newcomers to

Soartful. I hope you will be joining us soon with your

creations.

The sidebar gallery is filled to overflowing so

I've had to remove some of the old to make room for the new.

When I think of February I think of cherries, love,

George cutting down the cherry tree, Abe Lincoln and cherry pie.

Our theme this week is

'Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries'

Here is something for inspiration or come up with your

own cherry idea.

Here is the sample that I made.

Aren't those shoes the greatest.

Jeanette

I am so thrilled with all of the entries.

Everyone is so very creative. My husband gets

tired of me calling "come look". But,

he is really impressed, too.

Thank you everyone for being SO ARTFUL.

This week I thought we would do Mardi Gras.

The closest I've ever come to going to Mardi Gras was a

Mardi Gras night on a cruise ship.

I think it must be a sight to see.

Let's get our beads, put on our masks and parade through the French Quarter.

There is a whole set of Mardi Gras elements and papers available

for free download at Scrapbook Flair.

This is what I made using more pieces of the set. Lips and beads not included.
