Welcome to another Mystery Monday with Club Anya & Friends! This week we’re CASE’ing a cute card by Tasha Beasley which has some really fun elements! I used Dressy Joyce for my card and for the large embellishment I used a huge daisy. Then to finish up the card, I could resist “sprinkling” on a few sparkling gems. 😀 I hope you’ll like her and can play along with us this week!

Did you know? Malpaso Productions is Clint Eastwood’s production company established in 1967. The name is derived from Malpaso Creek, located south of Carmel, California, where Eastwood has spent much of his life. The name “Malpaso” is Spanish for “bad pass” or “bad step.” When Eastwood agreed to take the role of the Man with No Name, his agent told him that it would be a “bad step” for his career. After the Dollars Trilogy made it big and Eastwood decided to run his own production company, he thought “Malpaso” would be an appropriately ironic choice.

It’s another fun weekend at Club Anya and Friends and we have a great sketch for you to work with. I made my card using the new Oliver & Amelia set Little Dreamer. I used some old papers in my stash and a forgotten punches – it’s time to use up the old before the new comes in. ;D

Did you know? The moons of Saturn are numerous and diverse, ranging from tiny moonlets less than 1 kilometer (0.62 mi) across to the enormous Titan, which is larger than the planet Mercury. Saturn has sixty-two moons with confirmed orbits, fifty-three of which have names, and only thirteen of which have diameters larger than 50 kilometers (31 mi). Saturn has seven moons that are large enough to become spherical, and dense rings with complex orbital motions of their own.

It’s another Mystery Monday day at Club Anya & Friends this week! Today we are CASE’ing a card by Kim (Paperbabe)! Her card reminded me of a Polaroid so I was inspired to color a black and white image. For this card I used Fancy Anya and finished with antique brads, sequenced black lace and laser cut embellishments covered with liquid pearls. The decorative paper I used is a couple years old!

Did you know? Man on Wire is a 2008 British documentary film directed by James Marsh. The film chronicles Philippe Petit’s 1974 high-wire walk between the Twin Towers of New York’s World Trade Center. The title of the movie is taken from the police report that led to the arrest of Petit, whose performance had lasted for almost one hour. The film is crafted like a heist film, presenting rare footage of the preparations for the event and still photographs of the walk, alongside reenactments and present-day interviews with the participants.

We have a very fun Saturday Sketch for you over at Club Anya & Friends today and is a great opportunity to make a non-rectangular card! This was my first circle card to put through the Cuttlebug folded and it was nice that the Spellbinder dies are just deep enough to cut through booth layers of cardstock! I made this card using Miss Anya from The Greeting Farm and went with a soft pastel color pallet.

I used the Magnolia Doohickey on white felt to add some soft texture. Then embellished the card with small lily flowers made from clay and a silver dragonfly necklace charm. For those starting out your Copic collection, I used only two markers per color for the clothes, hair and accessories.

Did you know? “Like a Rolling Stone” is a 1965 song by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. Dylan struggled to find the essence of the song, which was recorded without success as a waltz. A breakthrough was made when it was tried in a rock music format, and rookie session musician Al Kooper improvised the organ riff for which the track is known. However, Columbia Records was unhappy with both the song’s length at over six minutes and its heavy electric sound, and was hesitant to release it. It was only when, a month later, a copy was leaked to a new popular music club and heard by influential DJs that the song was put out as a single. Although radio stations were reluctant to play such a long track, “Like a Rolling Stone” reached number two in the US charts and became a worldwide hit. The track has been described as revolutionary in its combination of different musical elements, the youthful, cynical sound of Dylan’s voice, and the directness of the question in the chorus: “How does it feel?”.

Welcome to Mystery Monday at Club Anya & Friends! Today we’re CASE’ing a card by Dictionary and I used Naughty or Nice… featuring the Naughty side. Looking at the CASE’d card, I switched the two shapes in the center having the square behind the circular shape which allowed me to show off the oval cutting die.

The heart swirls and Love sentiment are laser-cut chipboard that I covered with Liquid Pearls. I also used an embossing plate on the oval before cutting it out, however, those details don’t show in the pictures. Finally, silk ribbon flowers and pearls were added to finish off the embellishments.

Did you know? The gnomon is the part of a sundial that casts the shadow and is an ancient Greek word meaning “indicator”, “one who discerns,” or “that which reveals.” The world’s largest sundial is the Sundial Bridge at Turtle Bay, a pedestrian and bicycle bridge in Redding, California, that spans the Sacramento River. The supporting tower of this cable-stay bridge forms the gnomon of a large garden sundial and is 217 foot (66 metre) that points due north at a cantilevered angle, allowing it to serve as the gnomon of a sundial. The shadow is cast upon a large dial to the north of the bridge and the tip of the shadow moves at approximately one foot per minute which is noticable with the naked eye.
