LMCB- it's in the movies

Good afternoon everyone

Lasting memories has a new challenge this week - lights... camera...action!!!  
IN THE MOVIES!!!

So you more than likely don't know this but i grew up as a trekkie - When I was younger I would sit with my dad every week and watch star trek with him.   I still go to all the movies when they come out (usually with my dad) and continue to watch re-runs on TV.   I think I fell in love with Leonard Nimoy... I loved Spock!   

So when I made a trip out to visit my best friend in Alberta I had to stop by the town of Vulcan... seriously the cutest little down ever.    Rumor has it that during a baseball game the town was teased by a neighboring town about their ears and called them all Spock and that they were from Vulcan!!
So what did they do... Changed their name!!! LOL  if you don't believe me look it up - any way here is my inspiration for the week 

the top pic on the left is of his real ears... I was so excited that i didn't notice the glare  :(

here is what it said below it

 ok.. back to the LO... I used my cricut for all the little embellishments

Graphically Speaking

Sophisticated

Wall decor 

and Creative memories - this and that for the cute space ship  

the paper is Scenic Route - Liberty collection - sorry the store is no longer available :(

 I misted and masked the stars with CTMH ink Twlight

 oh.. and foil Thickers

 YES that is a bronze mold of Leonard Nimoy's hand

  

 yep... lol.. that i me posing with cardboard John Luc Picard and Riker

i am even wearing Vulcan ears... teehee

Any hoo... I hope you find some inspiration to create with us at Lasting memories.

I also found inspiration from the following challenges:

catch the bug - bugaboo goes to the movies 

(bet you didn't think a LO would show up on the challenge!)

Scrap fit -misting with stickers and negatives (the background stars)

the corrosive challenge -myth and magic 

(i must say back then it was futuristic but now... maybe more like reality??)

cardz tv - colours

(it isn't a card.. but does fit the challenge please let me know if you won't accept it - i understand)

crafts 4 eternity - vintage toy colours

Sending hearts...

Forgotten

Start of September and trying to get some Lo's completed :)

This one is for my daughter.  It is of her father's wedding.  She looked beautiful with her baby brother and older sister.  I made it for My Craft spot challenge (i know it says a friend but these pictures took over when I was making it) I also made it because it has my favorite pics of my DD - the paper variety: celebration day 3 challenge.

This is of my DD and her cheerleading group - sketch from Sassy Lil' sketches and entered into the Cricut Creative Cutter Room Challenge 

and the last one is of Mystere - saw it in Vegas!!! loved it and so glad I went.  they didn't allow cameras in the theater so I did the page from post cards :)

thanks for looking ,

Kimberly 

Congratulations

Happy Sunday everyone!

Yesterday I had a friends backyard wedding reception to attend. I have been starting to experiment with cards and made the below card for them.  Now the colour in the pic looks pink but I would say it truly more burgundy than pink,  I used Plantin Schoolbook cartridge to create the card and the envelope, Sophistication for the frame and wild cards for the couple.   I stickled the scroll on the right of the card using Gold.  Inside I stamped  "Congratulations".

the card standing up - see my cats cute little feet... she always wants to be in the pictures

close up of the stickle gold 

Thanks for looking!  Have a great Sunday,

Kimberly
