Happy Hello Friends!
Mandy here sharing my design team project based on the super fun challenge hosted by Kay~
I was undecided which movie I wanted to go with but my top two are "The Notebook" and "The Horse Whisperer".....both romantic drama's. I decided to go with "The Notebook".....I can't watch either movie without shedding some tears....It doesn't matter how many times I watch them....hehe
I decided to create a mixed media canvas filled with many textures and details~
The photo copies are printed from my ink jet printer....I used craft paper behind both photo's and raised them off of the canvas.....I made sure I didn't get any water/misting/paint on the photo images...
I used two different photo images from the movie and I wanted to go with one larger than the other....
I added some sponsored goodies from the Gauche Alchemy kit~ (punchinella and vintage envelope/papers)
The chipboard piece "two become one" is from our sponsor:
I added some stamp work using brown ink and stamps from our sponsor:
Here is close-up's of the quote from the movie:
So true~

Your project must be centered around your favorite movie or TV show & must consist of more than one photo. You can use the same photo twice or use different photos--the choice is yours. If you just can't pick one movie or TV show--then feel free to center your project on your favorite actor or actress, this counts as well.
Television has evolved greatly since it was first introduced as has the movies. We've come a long way from the silent films of the 1920's. Some may say that we've gone a bit overboard with the amount of computer animation & technology that composes many of the action films of today. However, whether you prefer the modern day film or a classic black & white movie--we all have our faves.
Sitcoms and/or TV shows have become part of our everyday day lives. From 'I Love Lucy' to 'Three's Company' to 'The Walking Dead'--there are countless of TV shows with a variety of themes & let's not forget all those countless reality shows. 'I Wanna Marry Prince Harry' comes to mind as a recent reality show that makes me wanna pick up a good ol' fashioned book! But that will be a theme for another challenge! :-)

Kay's Kreative Korner was opened in 2009. It began simply as a way of sharing a few of my handmade items. I opened my shop with a couple of hand stamped cards, butterflies & a few pre-made scrapbook pages. Within a year, I stopped making cards and decided to concentrate on specific embellishments--I went with the butterfly. I've always admired the butterfly & what it symbolizes. Change, transformation, a new start, beginnings...with this concept I started making scrapbook embellishments based on existing butterflies from all around the world as well as butterflies that I have designed myself. Each butterfly is hand cut & carefully assembled by me.
Within a few months I started to add transparent 'Glass' butterflies which are clear in nature but add a very bold & unique touch to any crafty project. My latest creations are the 'Rose' butterfly collection which are butterflies with roses on their wings & the 'Message on Wings' butterfly collection with sentiments printed on their wings that can be personalized.
In addition to the butterflies I specialize in vines & beaded flowers. Each item is handmade with much TLC and careful precision. My greatest reward is seeing how others use my embellishments on their own projects & pages or to decorate a special occasion.
