Hello friends and Happy 2014! I am starting the year off with a bit of glitz, some new images and framelits backed by that gorgeous designer vellum!
This card is headed to my friend since seventh grade and college roommate. She is an amazingly talented gal who acted, sang and danced her way through school and inadvertently taught me the lyrics to numerous Broadway shows as she practiced....and practiced....and practiced. Come show time you could always count on me to be handing out the programs......and singing along in the back of the theater! After college she headed to NYC to pursue a career in theater. (I headed to the classroom where I was very good at handing out books and papers :)
Sharon may not be a household name but she has done some remarkable work in the entertainment field over the years. One of her good friends is the author Adriana Trigiani who has written several wonderful books starting with Big Stone Gap. Big Stone Gap has been made into a movie and my friend Sharon is in the movie! A very small 5 line part but how exciting to work with a cast that includes Ashley Judd, Jenna Elfman, Jane Krakowski and Whoopi Goldberg! (You can read all about the filming here on Adriana's Facebook page.) Sharon's scene was with Whoopi so I have included a photo that she sent me of the two of them in character.
Filming finished just before Christmas and I have no idea when it will be released but I can't wait! In the meantime I will send her this card to congratulate her on her big screen debut!
What a great color challenge to start the year at Pals Paper Arts!
