Birthday Thanks

It took me awhile to get these Thank Yous out in the mail to all the sweet people in my life that made my Birthday Extra Special - but they are postal so I can post the card on the Blog!! 

As soon as I saw the Inky Antics HoneyPOP collection - I knew I had to give it a try!!  It seems like forever since something NEW and exciting has come across my stamp desk and this was super fun to work with!!

How cute is this little guy??  Thanks again to all the special people in my life that made my Birthday such a fun day!!

Movie Review: Pirates of the Caribbean - On Stranger Tides

I have wanted to see this movie for several weeks, but after over two hours at the cinema I wish I had waited for the DVD release.  I went to the regular version (not 3D) so it is possible that many really cool special effects were missed, but I doubt they were magical enough to pull this movie into the must see category (sorry Disney).

Captain Jack Sparrow (portrayed by Johnny Depp) is always GENIUS and Sparrow remains one of my favorite iconic movie characters. Amazing since I have only really LOVED the first movie in the series (although this installment IS better than installment number two & three).

I would recommend you find another summer blockbuster to pay the big bucks for save this movie for Date-Night-In spend the extra cash on a bottle rum!!

Something to Ponder...............................

One of the Healthy Living Blogs I follow is THE FITNESSISTA.  She is currently featured on Fitness Magazine - The FitStop.  She lists the following as her Fitness Mantra:

“Change creates change.” You can’t keep doing the same thing and expect different results. Anything you can do to switch up your workout routine or eating habits will keep the body from kicking into cruise control. Change something and change will follow.

Movie Reivew: Bridesmaids

"Excuse me, can I have a glass of alcohol"? - Jenna

Anyone who has known me more than a minute knows - I hate dislike weddings.  I thought this movie would provide easy material for my beloved sport of bashing the much hyped saccharin filled fairytale Armageddon known as a wedding.

  Wrong again!!

This movie is a REALLY funny caricature of potential wedding woes.  I though it was smart, honest and daring.  So authentic that it gives voice to the silent mantra of Maids of Dis-Honor everywhere:

"Are you F***ING kidding me"? 

Megan - the soon to be sister in law (played by Melissa McCarthy- best know as Sookie from the Gilmore Girls) is brilliant.  And I always support the gratuitous inclusion of an Irishman in a movie (Rhodes played by Chris O'Dowd from County Roscommon Ireland). 

ALERT : Girls - it's the accent - don't fall for it.

 A little sharper editing would have made the movie even better - there were a few unnecessary characters and a food poisoning storyline put in to appease the poor fellas dragged to this chic-flick. The bottom line is: grab some girlfriends and go!!

  Four out of Five Stars!!

Hope You Can Cling To - Unsentimental

This is my entry for the Hope You Can Cling To - Unsentimental Challenge.  The trick is not to use a sentiment on the card front.  I have not used a lot of Magnolia Stamps, but found this cutie in my image stash and thought she was really fun to color!!

Stamp: Magnolia - Tilda Blowing Hearts

Hope You Can Cling To - Pink Holiday

This is another Double Duty Card for: Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge #300 and Hope You Can Cling To - Pink Holiday Challenge.  Note:  The stamp looks like the picture below - I paper-pieced in her dress for the Hope You Can Cling to Challenge because the cards are going to a State Run Hospital and they have requested no religious sentiments be used.

Stamp: Unity - Luke2:14 Glorious Angel

Color Issues

In real life the cardstock & the designer paper look almost the same color - in the camera lens, not so much!! The layout is the current card positioning systems #187 sketch and is also for the Hope you can cling to - 4 x 4 challenge (four paper layers & four different embellishments).

Heart to Heart Card Drive

The Heart to Heart Card Drive is a work of love created by Carolyn King, to honor the Caregivers who  take care of patients with Alzheimer's Disease.  This card will be on it's way to one Caregiver to remind them that their work and care is noticed and appreciated!!  I would encourage everyone to play along.
