Did you know? Catch Me If You Can is a 2002 American biographical comedy-drama film based on the life of Frank Abagnale Jr. Development for the film started as far back as 1980, but development did not progress until 1997, when the film rights to Abagnale’s book were purchased by Spielberg’s DreamWorks.

I found these large tags on my last shopping spree and they are the perfect size for a few of my settlements. I originally colored this adorable girl for the kitchen scene posted on Monday but forgot to check the scale and discovered she was too tall. So with her already colored this was a quick card to make.

Did you know? A diacritic is an ancillary glyph added to a letter, or basic glyph. The main use of diacritics in the Latin alphabet is to change the sound value of the letter to which they are added. Examples from English are the diaeresis in naïve and Noël, which show that the vowel with the diaeresis mark is pronounced separately from the preceding vowel; the acute and grave ‘accents’, which indicate that a final vowel is to be pronounced, as in saké and poetic breathèd, and the cedilla under the “c” in the loaned French word façade, which shows it is pronounced /s/ rather than /k/.

Rio Birthday Girl

~ sproatmeyer ~ 43 Comments

This is one of those last minute submissions into the Simply Betty Stamps Challenge – I’ve been thinking it’s been Wednesday ALL day today!! So somehow I missed a day in my week and thankfully it wasn’t a Saturday. ;D The challenge this week is to make an all white card except for the coloring.


My strategy was to get all my white items out on the counter and then start putting it together. Because it was mostly white, I wanted to keep the coloring as light as possible so I chose more soft-toned colors and tried to keep some white highlights. One of the things I added was a small note that gets tucked inside a velum envelope on the card.

Did you know? Deep Impact is a NASA space probe launched on January 12, 2005. It was designed to study the composition of the comet interior of 9P/Tempel, by releasing an impactor into the comet. Previous space missions to comets, such as Giotto and Stardust, were fly-by missions. These missions were only able to photograph and examine the surfaces of cometary nuclei from a distance. The Deep Impact mission was the first to eject material from a comet’s surface, and the mission garnered large publicity from the media, international scientists, and amateur astronomers.

Update: I’m made the top three at Aud Sentiments for this challenge!

Sandstone Citadel

~ sproatmeyer ~ 4 Comments

The technical challenge this time at Make it Crafty is to create a card or project that moves! This was my first attempt with a spinner action and there were plenty of lessons to be learned. I also added pop-up sections on the inside of the card. The main part of the card features the new Sandstone Citadel image which will be available today. It was such a fun image to color and I can see endless possibilities with it!


Green? I had this idea to make a Wizard of OZ scene and focused on the Emerald City. So for this project I had every piece of green scrap paper sprawled out on my table! Here’s a good view of the “Emerald City” without any obstructions. I had all the YG and G Copic markers on the table and pretty much used them all plus a touch of blue.


The moving action happens when the card is opened and it’s spring loaded too! The center part is a typical spinner but I’ve wound it up tight so when the card is opened it flips around. I have a small tab sticking up just behind the Wizard which will stop it from actually spinning. The tension plus tab also helps it stay vertically and aligned with the card front.


Originally I had the backside of the spinning section blank – but how I could I leave it like that? So I browsed through my limited selection of sentiments and decided I’d cut out another rainbow. The card can have either side showing when it’s closed or opened.


Here’s a front-on view when the card is opened with Dorothy and the Wizard of OZ against the back part of the spinner. These two characters are actually coloring pages from Midisegni.it. The other moving part of this project is when these two pop up when the card is opened.


This was my first time coloring on the Cryogen White Curious Metallic paper and didn’t have a problem blending with it. It’s sparkly all over and absolutely dreamy to behold for glitter lovers! I ordered my paper through CutCardStock.com and the best part is … the sparkle even shows through the colored areas.


The other challenge is to create a scene.

Did you know? Located in the center of the Land of Oz, the Emerald City is at the end of the yellow brick road. Everyone in the Emerald City is made to wear green-tinted eyeglasses; this is explained as an effort to protect their eyes from the “brightness and glory” of the city. However, in effect everything appears green when it is, in fact, “no more green than any other city.” This is yet another illusion created by the Wizard.

Did you know? The origins of the standard railroad gauge considerably predate the Roman Empire, and may even predate the invention of the wheel, having to do with road rutting. The initial impetus for the ruts probably came from the grooves made by sleds and slide cars dragged over the surfaces of ancient trackways. Since early carts had no steering and no brakes, negotiating hills and curves was dangerous, and cutting ruts into the stone helped them negotiate the hazardous parts of the roads.
