Famous people

Getting a head start, here's what I've done for next week's challenge. The LO could apply for the "Star" challenge but I was caught between getting the piece done too late or too soon, so I chose the latter :-) I don't know quite how famous this actress is but she's my favourite. Her name is Alexis Bledel and I know her from Gilmore Girls and Sisterhood of The Travelling Pants. She has also done some other movies, which I haven't seen.
There's not much to say about this card... I took some vellum paper and blue inked a stamp (twice to get the whole length) and embossed it with blue glitter powder. Next time I remember only to glue a bit in the corners as one can see it through the paper:-(  For the stars in the corners I have used a gold paint marker pen. The bluish oriental paper I have from a book of papers obtained at a fair last Sunday. Oh, that was an expensive day *sigh* ;-)

Nature on MMM

Killing two birds with one stone (what a gruesome expression...) I thought it fit to combine this week's challenge with my best friend's housewarming - the result is as follows: (some of the pictures can you click on and some of them you can't for some reason... Anybody know why and what to do about it??)

Once again the card is a Thrinchie


The backside of the card with the text "Dear Rikke and Steen. Congratulations with your new home. Here is something nice and something practical. Love Jens and Mia" The nice thing was a couple of green plants and the practical was a shopping list.


The aforementioned shopping list. I haven't drawn the cat or made the text. It is stolen from a book called "Cat Haiku" written by Deborah Coates (To you cat people out there: Get a copy of it!! It's so cute and funny:-)) But I did the lines and the headline, printed and cut it out, glued it together with cardboard and put a magnet on the back.


I didn't make the bag myself... I only put the yellow flowers, the small clothes peg and the tag on


From the side... a bit out of focus I'm afraid

 
The front of the envelope for a small card for the flowers. Again I only put the yellow flowers on and the blue sequins.
