HOORAY FOR HOLLYWOOD!!



The red carpet season is fast approaching here in the US and I love watching all the Awards shows!!  I absolutely love movies and these award presentations help me celebrate all the movies I've loved, or should have seen-and loved, throughout the year!  Plus, who doesn't love seeing all the glamorous women in their beautiful gowns and the men looking so coiffed in their tuxes??  For those of you who love them as much as I do, here are the scheduled air dates:

People's Choice Awards:  January 9
Critics Choice Awards:  January 10
Golden Globe Awards:  January 13
Screen Actor's Guild:  January 27
Academy Awards:  February 24

Saturated Canary's current challenge is called "song inspiration" and it's only appropriate that my song be "Hooray for Hollywood". "Hooray for Hollywood" is a song first featured in the 1937 movie Hollywood Hotel, and which has since become the staple soundtrack element of any Academy Award ceremony.  I have a link to a quick video of the song performed by Doris Day and I added the lyrics just for fun.


Hooray for Hollywood
That screwy, ballyhooey Hollywood
Where any office boy or young mechanic
Can be a panic, with just a goodlooking pan
Where any barmaid can be a star maid
If she dances with or without a fan
Hooray for Hollywood
Where you're terrific, if you're even good
Where anyone at all from TV's Lassie
To Monroe's chassis is equally understood
Go out and try your luck, you might be Donald Duck
Hooray for Hollywood
Hooray for Hollywood
That phoney, super coney Hollywood
They come from Chillicothes and Padukahs
With their bazookas to get their names up in lights
All armed with photos from local rotos
With their hair in ribbons and legs in tights
Hooray for Hollywood
You may be homely in your neighborhood
But if you think that you can an actor
See Mr. Factor, he'd make a monkey look good
With a half an hour, you'll look like Tyrone Power
Hooray for Hollywood

Onto my card now.   I made this for my sister Jo, the co-owner of this blog.  We recently celebrated her 50th birthday in Las Vegas and I wanted to make her a card that showed how fabulous she is!!  I love and miss her so much and she so deserves the red carpet treatment!!



This card is huge measuring 8X8.  But again, I wanted it to be fabulous and over-the-top for this special event!!  I started with a Simply Sassy rubber stamp called 5th Avenue and she definitely fits the theme.  The background stamp is from Make It Crafty and is called Red Carpet.  How appropriate right?  They go so well together.



So much bling was added to this card to give it an old Hollywood feel:  
feathers, leopard print, diamonds, gold, mirrors (paper), and plenty of red and black!  



Red felt became her carpet...



some black netting and flowers...



I drew in some extra long lashes for added glamour and glittered her shoes gold.



and what red carpet event would be complete without a dramatic curtain?






a close-up of the embossing was tricky on this gold mirrored paper...



I hope you enjoy this post and if you are so kind to add a comment,  I would love to know what were some of your favorite movies this year?  Or favorite movie of all time?  (Not required obviously, just if you have a little time to join in on the fun).  Some of my favorite movies from this year are Skyfall, Brave, The Hunger Games, The Avengers, Snow White and the Huntsman, Rock of Ages and Argo.  One of my favorite movies of all time is Legends of the Fall.  Yes, this movie can be quite depressing.  Especially if you've watched it 20 times like someone who will remain unnamed. (ok, it's me:)  But I love period pieces and I LOVE Brad Pitt in long hair!  hehe

 Ingredients:

Stamps: listed above
Embossing folder: Cuttlebug
Dies: lots of spellbinders, magnolia doohickey
Punch:  MS Crafts edger
Flowers:  Recollections, Prima, WOC
Feathers: Michaels
Fabric, ribbon, diamond slide: Joann's
Netting sprays: Hobby Lobby

Challenges I would like to enter:

Cupcake Superhero

Here is a super quick, super fun card for a young girls birthday.  I used "Cupcake Marci" from La-La Land and I think she is hysterical.  I love everything about cupcakes and if I could be a 
cupcake superhero, I totally would!!  And if I could wear purple and pink everyday and not
look like a child, I would do that too!!  LOL!



The ribbon is actually seam binding from my own stash that I colored with an ombre effect using my copics.  I really like this technique so my ribbon matches my project perfectly!
The gems/rhinestones and charm are also from my stash.
I used the Cheery Lynn "anastasia lace" die to make my lace.
The "filigree" corners are from La-La Land.  They are covered in glitter.
Marci's mask, cape, and belt are also glitterized with my Spica pens.
The corner dots are Candi minis  from Craftwork Cards.


Very simple inside. (was kinda in a hurry)  The stamp set on the front is from JustRite Stampers and the inside sentiment is Stampin' Up.  And of course below are the copics I used.


 Challenges for this card:

brownsugarchallenge.blogspot.com: BINGO: bling-glitter-ribbon
craftuscrazy.blogspot.com: favorite color: pink/purple combo
simplycreatetoo.blogspot.com: use your stash (seam binding I colored for ribbon)

Happy Birthday Dear Hot Stuff

Here's a very quick card for a friend's birthday.
I'm singing her a song...

"Happy Birthday to you, Hapy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday Dear Hot Stuff,
Happy Birthday Tooo Yooou!!"



This hottie is Annette from Kraftin' Kimmie.  I love
how she's sweet on top but a little naughty
underneath!!



I honestly have no idea who the maker of this sheet music is.  Sorry!
But I added some lyrics by hand to match my theme.


Cut out with Spellbinders and colored with Copics!!
The paper is from a paper pack called "Celebrate" by 
Me & My Big Ideas.  Flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and
ribbon from my stash!
 

I hope everyone is safe out there in blogland!! 

I will enter her into a couple challenges:

Blue Bike Inspiration

So it's been almost two weeks since my last post!  Where does the time go??
Actually, my crafts have been put on the back burner a bit because I've
 been so busy helping a friend of mine with her wedding decorations.

But I had to make a birthday card using the photo inspiration from Krista's
Saturated Canary Challenge this week.  My interpretation is a little more literal with
the blue bike and the big tree but I love making scenes with my stamps!

Inspiration photo for challenge:


My interpretation:


The sweet little girl is a digi from the Saturated Canary and her
name is "Windy Day".  She actually is flying a kite but I removed the
kite for this scene.The bike is a digi from Milk N Coffee called "Antique bicycle 
with flower basket".   And finally, the beautiful heart tree in the background 
is a rubber stamp from Magnolia and I think is called "Oak Tree".



 
Just to Say "happy BIRTHDAY beautiful!" This is for Suzy, an old college
friend of mine.  We don't get to see each other often at all, but I
love her so much!  She helped me through some very difficult
times in my life and I feel I owe her a lot!!


I colored my scene with copics and here are the colors I used.
I used a lot with this one I know!!

I will be entering this card in the following challenges:

Springtime and the Good Old Outdoors


Today I just have a quick little post to showcase a sweet little Saturated Canary image

 I will be entering her into a couple of 
challenges which I will list below.  Thanks for stopping by!








Lots of dies used for this one!  The sentiment is a stamp from LOTV
and the tulips are WOC.

Happy Birthday Katelyn

Happy Birthday to my daughter Katelyn.  I may not see her today but I made her a card to let her know I love her no matter what.  The stamp is called "Let Them Eat Cake" from wwww.sugarnellie.com.  Isn't she sweet looking?

Happy BD to my Katie Bug!!


So a long time ago my sister and I were going to start this blog 
as a place for us to share cards we had made since we live so far apart.  
Well that was over 6 months ago and this is my very first post.  LOL!!  
Funny how life always gets in the way!  She had quite a few posts 
in the beginning but hasn't been able to post for a while either. 
 But there's no time like the present as I am here visiting her in Indiana! 



 This adorable Saturated Canary image  is called "Party Hardy". 
 She is from the very talented artist Krista Smith and we love 
everything she does!!


It was made for my niece who I call Katie bug.  She's my only niece
on my side of the family and I love her so so much!!


I extended the bunting banner off of the actual image to add Katie's name.
The roses I made and covered with Stickles.

Stamping Bella

Love the Stamping Bella stamps.  My sister and I noticed them from a Copic Tutorial Guide and we've gone a little bonkers buying stamps.  I've stocked up on the Ketto stamps from Stamping Bella, but now I've got my eye on the Uptown Girls.  If you haven't seen them yet, go to Stamping Bella now to see what I'm talking about!  I think you'll agree that they are just adorable.

For now, check out another Birthday Card I made for a friend at work.  She is Violet - Cupcake Princess by Mo Manning.  I used Flowersoft for the trim on her skirt.  Sooooo cute!
