I joined an ATC swap last month hosted by Michelle Giraud (flaxychick on SCS), in which there was a LO that had to be followed. I used to swap ATCs regularly on a group board with some super-talented folks (Barb, Jessica, Bobbie, Breedeen, Holly, Shelley, Heidi...you know who you are!) but I had never participated in one where you had to follow a set LO. It was more difficult than I like to admit! 
I have a few Alice In Wonderland stamps that I adore, but don't get frequent use, so I brought out the "Drink Me" Alice stamp from StampFrancisco. I colored her in using a blender pen and an ink pad, sponged the edges, added four eyelets and matted her on a piece of cool caribbean that I cut out with scalloped scissors. The background is done using Basic Grey PP (Stella Ruby, I think), and a small piece of brown grosgrain ribbon.
I had to make 10 for the swap and I forgot to make one for myself! Arg. Now I don't have one for my collection. Does that ever happen to any of you?I think the last time I dug out my Alice stamps, I made a cute BD card for my sister, here. that was LAST April! Poor Alice, she needs more love than that!

These are wonderful Dana! What a neat card!
I loved seeing this because I have some Alice stamps of my own that have barely been used. I was so excited to get them, and then I didn't know what to do with them! Thanks for the inspiration.
Those are BEAUTIFUL. I can see doing a whole kid's room around those designs.
Dana -- these are BEAUTIFUL!!!
Love your ATCs. . .the paper that you used is fabulous! You may not have the actual card but at least you have pictures of it! That's why I love blogging. . .I sometimes can't remember how I made my own cards and look at my blog and the recipe is there! LOL!
Hooray for blogging!
