Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge # 11 - "An Affair to Remember"

Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge # 11 "It's a Wonderful Life"

Powerful Words!

"Look Daddy... Teacher says every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings"

Link to Ending scene of  "It's a Wonderful Life"

a little ode to the Black and White...

This is my sad attempt to use "Liquid Pearls" not so beautiful as my "Sunny Sankari" But she is my Angel and she always uses "Liquid Pearls" so I had to give them a try... I truly love having a conversation with her she lifts my spirits and leaves me feeling full of sunshine even thought it's usually dark when we talk...(p.m. of course) Your are the bestest in the mid-westest! Love YA!

Sense there are two bells on the stamped image I will tell you of another angel... My sweetheart Regan.. We have been together for 19 years. We just complete one another. I have to say he is much more patient with me that I am with him... He is a very selfless person.. I would be lost with out him. I just can't imagine being with anyone else... He is also my BEST friend and Guardian Angel... I love you Regan.. :)

Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge # 10 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

This is a full shot of the sneak peek. Seriously it could have been any church or building in all our Great Britain or even North America for all that matter... You all are just such amazing detectives.... How are we going to stump you....

This month was my brother-in-law's birthday so I had to refrain from all the sparkles and fairy dust...  I HAD to use my new top cut die so that is where I started with this card.. I had also just been on the "Papertry" website and  seen this cute "Owl" set and though I really should use this set.. I only ordered it the night it was released... And I have never used it... So who is tried and true and is always with Harry Potter when the movie starts... Hedwig.... So this is a little ode to The beautiful White Owl...

I also promised a few pictures of my family ages ago in regards to Harry Potter evidently it was pre-digital so I am still digging through photos... I will keep looking...

Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #9 Sound of Music

This is a full version of the sneak peek...

The blue I added was inspired my the beautiful blue skies of Austria and the blue dresses that Julie Andrews wears in the movie...  

The Green from the Curtains, I mean play cloths that the Children are wearing and the majestic green Mountains...

The flowers I added were Edelweiss of course.

I added a little red tuft that was an inspiration from the mountain hikers hats in the puppet show.

I love the Quote on the card: "Sometime on the way to a dream, you get lost and find a better one".  Doesn't that just sound like something Julie Andrews would say..

I hope you and your families all enjoyed watching this movie.. I always learn a few thing while I am researching the movies presented. It's great fun...

Mojo Monday #63 "Winter Wonderland"

Come Play along with Julee!

What do you do when you don't have a product you want to use on a project?  Improvise!!!! Once I get over the fact that I don't have something I want to use.. I get my wheels turning... I often turn to my "Versa Mark" pen for help.. I wanted something to liven up the craft base of the card and I don't have the polka dot background (yet) so I made my own with the Versa Pen.

Don't be afraid to experiment you might just like what you come up with..

Close up view of the shaker card. I used Micro beads and  an art glitter. (like Iridescent Ice from SU) for the snow in the shaker. I sandwiched the clear plastic sheets together with the left over outer edges scraps of the Stampin' Dimensionals all around the outer edge of the frame, then added glitter and beads in the middle. I then placed the image behind it.. On a traditional stamped image you wouldn't need to use two sheets but didn't want the glitter and beard to stick to the liquid applique.  I just figured it out as I went along.. I bet there are tutorials out there to make shaker cards. That would have made life a little bit easier but... Aren't experiments fun!! I also didn't want to run upstairs to the office to look it up... LAZY!!

I really like how the scallop edge covered up the layers of the box..  So much cleaner when you don't see all the layers...

The DSP layer on the bottom of the sentiment is the inspiration for the colors in the card... I used the "Ski Slope" Designer Series Paper for Stampin' Up it's actually my second package of this paper I {heart} the colors and patterns in the package... So glad I ordered a second package!!!

MOVIE: "Lord of the Rings" 1 & 2 (I know I took for ever)
