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

For the photo inspiration of course I looked at the colours, swirls and the flowers!  For the sketch I needed to turn it 

some close ups of the flowers and the liquid pearls I added to the page

Margarita's in Vegas

Hello everyone,

Welcome to a new year and new beginnings... to start the year I had my Uglies (from scrapbook.com challenge) given to me last week... Not too much time to complete them by the end of the year. Made it by skin of my teeth to get it completed on time. 

Here was the uglies I received....

 and this is what I did with them

 I love how the final page ended up!!!

The picture was taken from our trip to Vegas - the vine at the bottom was even from the month before's uglies. 

here is a close up of the embellishment that i was suppose to use 

 close up of the embellishments that I made with my cricut - graphically speaking cartridge and viva glass pens... they are amazing - love that they look like pearls :) 

thanks for taking the time to stop by and I am wishing you all a great new year...  I would like to enter this LO into the following challenges (other than the uglies challenge on scrapbook.com)

Ladybug craft ink - bingo (die cuts, buttons and pearls)

sketch provided by Frosted designs - #31

have a great day 

Sending hearts to you all - Kimberly 

UR Fabulous!!

Good evening everyone one,
I orginally made the fabulous section as a swap but some was returned to me because there was less people in the group then expected. So... I was thinking about what I would do with the four extras I received... make a card!!
I actually love the colours that are in the card and it is super cute. The card was made with the graphically speaking Cricut cartridge one of my favorites!

I am going to enter this card into the following challenge:
Sassy lil' Sketches: Send off Sketch #8


Thanks so much for stopping by - sending hearts

UR Fabulous

Good morning everyone,
I forgot to show you a card I made for a friend that is going through a separation from her husband. The inside reads "... and don't you forget it. I made it with stamping up card stock and graphically speaking cricut cartridge. Have a great day!

first time

The weather is certainly warm out.  I have been busy doing some home improvement duties but managed to get in some scrap time.  I have no pics of the one I am working on but wanted to share my first misting page.

On the cruise Sarah and my dad were up dancing,  my dad having a bit too much fun caused my daughter to go into a laughing fit.  

To make the flowers I used the Cricut cartridge graphically speaking, the circle is all mixed up and the letters is Plantin school book.    When I get a moment I will take a picture of the flowers close up so you can see the sparkles from the misting. Today I bought some Stickles and tattered angels glam glitter paint.  

Well chat again soon,

Kimberly
