And we're back!

From another impromtu break in blogging! I just can't consistently get back into the swing of it, though it helps if you have something to share! We are also back to Cinema Saturday challenges. This first challenge in 2010 is The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. As many of you may expect, I quite like this movie. We have it on dvd, but I couldn't for the life of me find it to rewatch before making my card... so I just based a card on a costume. On the off-chance that there is someone reading who hasn't read the books or seen the movie, I won't spoil you by mentioning the scene, but I will tell you this card is based on an outfit that Lucy wears. I'm not entirely happy with how it turned out but I thought I would share it with you anyway... you gt a sneaky peak at an up-coming SAB set!

All supplies by Stampin' Up!
Cardstock: Baja Breeze, So Saffron, brushed gold
Stamp sets: Friends 24-7, Framed With Love, Vintage Labels
Ink: VersaMark, silver, Ruby Red (for brayering)
Accessories: clear embossing powder, brayer, Pretties Kit, Valet Ribbon Originals, Styled Silver HodgePodge, scallop circle punch, 1 3/4" circle punch, dimensionals
Music listed to while creating: The Unfinished Spelling Errors of Bolkien (no official site, so that will do - at least you can read the lyrics and get a taste biggrin )

This is beautiful, the pearl details are ... well beautiful. (sorry, haven't had coffee yet & vocab isn't quite there).

I have to laugh at what NancyK said, it's true, when I went to the theatres to see Star Trek & Karl Urban came on screen (after I sighed at his cuteness) I thought of him holding your creation from September.
