Alice in wonderland mini album

Dear friends around the world, this here is world of wonderland!
My friend´s daughter came to me and asked for a mini album for a valentine´s day. Ok, so the theme was Alice in her world based on T. Burton´s movie. Seems easy to you maybe, but to me, it was a difficult challenge. Here in Estonia, I haven´t seen any special theme kits and papers in craft stores. When I watched these beautyful albums already made in youtube, then all the authors were talking about "papers from this collection of alice in wonderland and these paper kits came with tags and...." Ok, I didn´t want to waste any time by searching and ordering things from net, so I had to improvise. At first I printed out some pictures from the movie posters as she wanted and used them as an inspiration. My time was short, little girls can be so impatient :p.
This is how the cover looks like:

The album can be closed with a chain and the teacup is a wooden embellishment, that I coloured with pigment ink bads. 




Here is the compulsory item, the little bottle, tagged "drink me"









Inside, there are many theme pages:

As you can see I really love that cat!







     These pages are dedicated for the white rabbit.










.....a  little birdy with a lace pocket and a tag








And the other cover is all about the red queen
