Welcome to Wonderland at Vera Lane Studio and our November Guest Designer

It seems like it is still summer here on Vera Lane as we arrive into November. Many of us are putting away skeletons and pumpkin décor as we head into the holiday season. With winter wonderlands upon us and a season that is merry, we are celebrating a different kind of Wonderland on Vera Lane. Welcome to our theme for November; (Alice in) Wonderland meets Vera Lane.

We have an exciting wonderland-packed month ahead. The design team has been busy creating lots of inspirational items with current images sets and our new releases. Design Team member Corrie Herriman will be our hostess for our November ATC Wonderland swap. Vera Lane Studio has so many fun characters and more surprises coming out this month that you won't want to miss!

Many of you have seen the incredible happy mail our members are receiving from our original VLS Swaps -- we have a creative and loving group and there is no better time to jump in and join us! If you are not already a member of our closed FB group please join in for a month of Wonderland fun and inspiration.

With a new month we have a new guest designer. Please meet and welcome Nasreen Nabaoui.

Nasreen has caught our attention with her wonderful inspiring posts and her review of Vera Lane Studio digi stamps on her YouTube channel. You can watch it here.

My name is Nasreen and I am a South African, living in Ireland married to a Moroccant. Art is in my blood as both my parents are artistic and I have been crafting since I was old enough to pick up a pencil. I love all things crafty from decoupague to yarn crafts to card making. Whimsical, bright and feminine are all styles that I hold very dear ...add some pink and you have my aesthetic. I am overjoyed to share my work with you during the month of November.

Welcome Nasreen and welcome to our month of Wonderland!

A little late on birthday greetings? Why not use the Alice's Rabbit from Stampotique?
This belated birthday card also uses splatter circle and 2 nuages.

Everything you imagine is real

This is certainly one of my favorite artist quotes by Pablo Picasso.

Stampotique's Jill Penney seemed to be a perfect fit to sit on top of the Mushroom Forest with Caterpillar and Rabbit in the foreground. Of course I had to bend her little legs.

With all the color inks and pigments I own I always seem to reach for black. Maybe it's the (retired) elementary art teacher in me that is always drawn to black on white paper -- it's that "pop" I would train the kids to say in kindergarten on. When they got to second grade they had to use the term "contrast" -- but "pop" we all liked so much better.

Color balance, and texture variety, and always text (inspired by Paul Klee). So many years working with kids I realized I work the way I teach.

And a little humor doesn't hurt.

My card is simple, but I go for the pop. Hope you enjoy it.
