LIM #115 ~ OLC Film d'Piction of Old Broads

Greetings, Cardlings!

An expression that has always intrigued me is "to rack one's brain."  Am I the only one who gets a mental picture of brains being squished into that little triangular rack on a pool table, just so, and then POW they are smashed with a mental cue stick?  What's left behind on the table, like magic, is whatever fantastic idea or answer that's been evading you?

 

Well, no wonder, that's prolly why I'm having my grains, all that racking and smashing trying to come up with a card idea for this week's Less Is More challenge! 

 

Chrissie and Jen want us to make a card inspired by a film.  Oh, and just for torture, they want us to make a one-layer card! 

 

The hard part was not thinking of a film, the hard part was thinking of a film that I could express with stamps I own.  This was the best I could do:

I'll wait here for a couple of minutes while you rack your brains thinking what the heck movie I'm trying to d'pict. 

 

Give up?  Well, no wonder, and I'm in trouble with Chrissy and Jen for that very reason, because they included this fine print in their challenge:  "Any film will do, but preferably one that most people will have heard of."  Oops. 

 

So I look at it this way, I got to play in a fun challenge that I rarely miss, which is the main thing, not so much the winning.  Which I won't be doing because ... well, have ANY of you heard of this film???

 

Just look at all those awesome iconic movie stars together in a film we've never heard about, or at least that I've never heard about.  And I love that the movie poster says, "They're Back!" like this is a sequel!  I've never heard of this one, let alone a prequel or a sequel!  But there it was, as big as life, in the Googler bucket so I grabbed it and used it to inspire my card!

If you've been with me since this time last year, you may remember that we had a little lizard that lived in the back yard.  Her name was Lizzy.  We had to rack our brains to think of that name for her. 

 

 

Unfortunately, I accidentally killed her with snail bait.  It made me extremely sad that I did that, so you can imagine how happy I am to share that I was visited yesterday by a new little Lizzy in the backyard! 

 

She is still pretty shy, so this was the best photo I could get for now:

 

 

It's hard to tell scale from the picture; she's only a couple of inches long.  We have this block retaining wall with cracks which are just perfect for her to live in.  And, no worries, I am content to live with whatever snails Lizzy II doesn't dine on!

Enjoy your day which is very close to being the weekend!  No, seriously, enjoy your day.  LITS**!
