Lemon Lime Birthday

I wanted to play at Color Hues with this lovely color combination. I really need to build my stash of birthday cards, so I decided to make a card that would be good for anyone (though it is great for a masculine card), especially in the spring.

My Favorite Movie: It's a Wonderful Life

 

It's time for a new challenge at Time Out. Time Out #285 is an "Inspired By" Challenge where we are challenged to be inspired by a favorite movie for our projects. There are so many movies that I love, but "It's a Wonderful Life" really IS my favorite. 

Strange, isn’t it?  Each person’s life touches so many other lives . –Clarence the Angel

The photo above is from the moment in the movie where Clarence the angel, gets his wings. Clarence saved George, a bell just rang and George knows what has just happened. I changed a word in the sentiment, which is a famous quote from the movie, from "his" to "their". The reason for that is that now this quote always brings to mind the morning my mother took her last breath. My sisters and I were with her. The moment she passed, the fire alarm started blaring. We all started to laugh really hard because we all had the same thought. Surely, my beautiful mother got her wings at that moment, so I had to change the pronoun on the quote to include her and Clarence at the same time. If you know that movie, you know my card is self explanatory.

We are sponsored by Claire Brennan Designs. She is gifting our Challenge Winner her wonderful Mid Mod City Stamp set. Check it out on the Time Out Challenge Blog.

It's time for a new challenge at Time Out, and this one is really a fun one. This time it is a Theme challenge: The Red Carpet. We'd like to see your creations that are inspired by Red Carpet Fashion. You can use the collage above for your inspiration, but you can also pick any Red Carpet Photo from any awards event at any time.

We are generously sponsored by Picket Fence Studios with a $25.00 Store Credit as a prize for our Challenge Winner, who will also be invited to join us as Guest Designer for a future challenge.

We are joined by Carol Mayne of just me: c, and winner of Time Out #279 as Guest Designer. Check out her fabulous Red Carpet Project on the Time Out Challenge Blog.

I used Halle Berry's iconic 2022 Oscars dress from a special Elie Saab fashion show celebrating the designer’s 1001st season - Top middle photo above. If you enlarge the photo, you will see that the top of the gown is embroidered with a stargazer lily and leaf motif. I used Altenew's Build-A-Flower Stargazer Stamps & Dies to mimic that design. I placed the lilies on a background meant to give the feel of the netting that the embroidered flowers are attached to on in the gown, and the burgundy card base represents the bottom of the gown.

 Please head on over to the Time Out Challenge Blog where you can see what Carol and the rest of the Design Team has created for your inspiration. Come play with us. I can't wait to see your Red Carpet inspiration projects!
