Clueless Sketch

Whoo for that! So! the Cinema Challenge this week was Clueless. Is that because I have been totally enjoying the new Emma on PBS? or just a coincidence? The funny thing is, I forgot most of Clueless almost as soon as I saw it. For years I have assumed I fell asleep in the theater. (it was an extremely busy time in my life! I was in high school, people!) But when I watched this Emma (and perhaps because of the recent passing of Brittney Murphy) I remembered a LOT about that movie....and then to see it was this weeks challenge, I HAD To make time to play along! They also asked for plaid, which explains the long-retired paper...

The card uses Susan's sketch, which was super exciting to me because Susan is one of my favorite artists to visit. So I had to use that too! And it all worked out fabulously because now I have a card done that I won't need for several more weeks! YEAY!

A Girly-girl Birthday

I have a bunch of cards I really need to get made, but I have sooo much going on! I keep adding to my to-do list instead of crossing things off...! But last night I did get this card made, for my little princess of a girl.

She is in love with princess-y attire and considers all dress shoes "glass slippers". She got princess dress-ups for Christmas but she's so darn tall for her age that her feet are naturally long, and too long for the 'glass slippers' she got. They're made of fabric so they're stretched out and totally worn out already. So for her birthday this week she's getting two pairs of plastic dress up shoes! I think that's going to be the highlight of the day... lol! So This is the set I had to use for her card! :D

I showed her the two shoe images and asked which one she liked the best. She pointed to the top ones and said "The pink ones". Um....are they pink? Ok, I can do that... lol! Jen's Saturday SFYTT was perfect for using ALL the images! I got to use a bunch of bling and even some crystal effects to make the "glass slipper" glassy and shiny! Yeay!

High Fashion!

Yeah, remember I said I made four cards? I've only posted three. But it was a busy weekend so I'm only getting this last one up now.... The sketch came from PaperCraft Planet. It required trimming off the one side and embellishing or stamping on the "inside" edge. That's a little hard to show in photos, so there's a few...! :) My embellishment of choice was some fun, chic ribbon Eve sent me when I participated in her challenge. And this picture hopefully shows how sparkly the dress is!

Also, I again used the idea of swiping color across the words I wanted emphasized. Easy little detail.
