Okay my husband changed the channel tonight and guess what was on? The Matrix, seriously. Just before my favorite scene (one of them;)where Neil and Trinity go in the high security building to rescue Morphius and kick butt. Todays favorite movies for me are Shawshank Redemption and Beaches. I cant watch Beaches to often because I cry like baby every time.

Lets see so far I have told you a few movie favorites, Matrix, and Alien.
Today I confess that I really like Jaws 1& 2 ( I know how corny )My Aunt took me to see this movie at the movie theater when I was about 5. I remember being really scared and hideing my face in her chest. I took my 5 yo son to see Deep Blue (shark movie)in 1998, he was scared and hid his face in my chest. I didnt think it would be scarey for him, I felt so bad. But it was a suspenseful movie!




Below is another challenge card, I so like it!!! The adorable paper called A Little Birds Tale is foiled cardstock,some of the houses have colored foiled roofs and doors. And if you look closely you will see a little birdie perched on a roof or two. Now the challenge calls for you to use all five colors somewhere on the card. Most colors are througout the card but only a hint of chocolate on the brads and a piece of organdy ribbon. I stamped the birdie on a vellum scalloped circle because I didnt want to hide any of that cute, cute paper. I stamped the birdie again in Amethyst and cut out the belly and wing to pop dot them on the circle,I added a brown bitty brad for her eye. How about that the arglye embossing on the Amethyst cardstock.

I wasnt so crazy about the colors and cant remember how I came up with them as I created this card back in June and never posted it. Maybe it was a color challenge, but I do likey the card! Take a peek.
