Stripey Sticker Name Birthday Card






I haven't had time to any crafts for the best part of this year - I put my house on the market in February and we wanted to declutter for the estate agent photographs so all my card making and craft supplies went into storage. I secured a sale on my house quite quickly and we found our dream home almost right away - it was only the second house we looked at! But as regular readers will know, what should have been a straightforward process was held up by our council taking 10 weeks to do the local searches because they were short staffed (they normally take a week to ten days) and our vendors dithering, changing their minds about the place they were buying and 'forgetting' to do any of the necessary paperwork, so in the end we didn't move in until August 28.



We then redecorated the entire house, from getting new wood floors to repainting to buying and building new furniture, so while I have unpacked my craft stuff, I still haven't got time to use any of it! I am very excited though that I have a 'craft room' - a spare room with a futon, desk, and cupboard for my craft supplies, plus a whole wall of bookcases, my dressmaker's dummy and sewing machine. Unfortunately I can't fit all my craft supplies in the cupboard so will have to rationalise them down, or sneak them into the garage and hope my boyfriend doesn't notice!



So while I haven't made any cards in a long time there are still a few I haven't posted on here. This one was very quick to make but I quite like the jazzy style. I used a pre-printed card from a mixed box and some alphabet stickers I got very cheaply from the Works; the pack had letters and numbers so I decided to spell out the recipient's name, the word 'birthday' and his age. It's hardly the most sophisticated looking card but I think it looks quite fun, and this style might be a good idea if you are struggling for ideas for cards for men!

Mga Cult Classic na Pelikula, Hindi kapani-paniwalang Mr Limpet

Kaya isang hapon, dumaan ako sa isang gabay sa TV at nakita ko ang isa sa mga klasikong pelikula ng kulto sa lahat ng oras, ang Incredible Mr. Limpet. Bakit parang pamilyar ang pamagat na iyon. Pagbasa pa sa wakas ay naalala ko. Kahit na ilang dekada ko nang hindi napanood ang pelikulang ito, isa ito sa mga naaalala at pinag-uusapan ninyo, pero ano ang tawag dito? Isa sa mga mahiwagang Don Knotts na pelikula mula sa unang bahagi ng 60’s, kung saan si Mr. Knotts ay naglalakbay at bumulusok sa karagatan pagkatapos ay biglang naging isang animated na isda na may mga salamin sa mata. Ang lahat at lahat ng bagay sa ibabaw ay totoong buhay. Ang pelikulang ito ng live action/animation ay nagpaisip sa akin, “ilan sa mga mahiwagang pelikulang ito ang nasa cinematic land?” At, doon nagsimula ang aking pananaliksik. Hindi pinag-uusapan ang tungkol sa computer generated imagery para sa artikulong ito at umaasa akong hindi ito ang katapusan ng cartoon world sa mga pelikula gaya ng alam natin, sala...
