Hello once again fellow Berry71Bleu fans, Kay here presenting the June 2014 challenge! This months theme is: Favorite Movie or TV Show & the challenge is: Multiple Photos
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! :-)
My favorite movie is 'The Breakfast Club'. I love 80's movies in general, but this is one that always makes me stop channel surfing when I come upon it. With the wonderful software known as Photoshop--I have become an honorary member of 'The Breakfast Club'!
Didn't you all know that I was actually part of the original cast for 'The Breakfast Club'? I was given the part of 'the rebel'. This is the photo that was going to be used for the movie--but I decided to opt out--acting really isn't my thing. :-)
Here's a close up of the photo. That's me sitting on the end. Not bad eh? I think the role of 'the rebel' would've worked out had it been part of the movie! Tsk, tsk, tsk...Hollywood doesn't know what it's missed!
Papers used are from
7 Dots Studio &
Gauche Alchemy. Several of the embellishments used throughout this page came from Gauche Alchemy as well. I had the pleasure of working with one of their kits & there are so many unique bits & bobs included in the kit that I had never seen before.
Included in the Gauche Alchemy kit were several strips of Punchinella--also another first for me. I had never had the option to use this before & I have to say that I love the visual effect it gave my background.
I've also used several chipboard elements from
Scrapiniec. The splatters of white that you see on the background of my page were made with a stamp from
Viva Las Vegas & white acrylic paint. I dabbed a bit of white paint directly onto the stamp with a small foam brush & then lightly pressed down with the stamp randomly around my page.
As part of my journaling I included just a few of my fave quotes from the movie.
The design of my page was based on a sketch from
Page Drafts.
I'm looking forward to seeing all of your favorite movies/TV Shows, actors or actresses! I hope you will all have fun with this challenge.

Gauche Alchemy specializes in kits filled to the brim with fabulous finds and artistic goodness. If your addiction is vintage ephemera, found objects,
beautiful fabric, trendy paper or unique embellishments, we’re here to enable you – oh yeah! Our kits are designed to make you laugh, question social convention and remind us of our past (the good, the bad, the whimsical – even the downright kitschy).
Each kit is designed to jostle your creativity with unique tidbits, coordinated colors and delicious textures. If you are unaccustomed to working with our unique offerings, GOOD! Our goal is to encourage different ways of thinking about the art that is all around us. We are big fans of "upcycling" and hope to encourage others to join us on our path to "recycle, reuse, repurpose!"
We are a team of creative women who cannot image their world without
paper, glue and the creative process. Scrapbooking is our passion and we
love to share our passion with other scrapbookers. For this reason, 7
Dots Studio exists. The quality of our products is our top priority. Our
collections are made from thick (250gsm), acid-free, lignin-free,
archival scrapbooking paper. We also offer high quality cardstock
stickers.
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.
