Music Monday: Kate Nash

I know it is the last day of August but I'm using this Monday to kickoff all cover songs for Music Mondays in September.

I love this song by the Arctic Monkeys.
I found a cover by Kate Nash's that I think is pretty rad!

Music Monday: She & Him

I finally got the chance to see (500) Days of Summer this weekend, and it was even more amazing than I expected it to be (and I expected it to be pretty dang awesome.)
Easily on of my top movies, perhaps of all time.
That good.
The movie stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and, my #1 girl crush, Zooey Deschanel.
Which brings me to this week's Music Monday.

As well as being an actress, Zooey is 1/2 of the band She & Him.
I adore them.




She & Him also do an absolutely amazing cover of Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want by the Smiths for the (500) Days soundtrack. Check it out!

Music Monday: Animal Collective

Animal Collective is strange and wonderful.
I really love this video for My Girls.
Be sure to watch it in HD and full screen that baby!

I've been a bad, bad girl...

No posts since June 8th?
That is just shameful!
What have I been doing since then?
Moving.
Graduating college.
Working.
and of course crafting.

Speaking of crafting, I'm way behind on posting the cards I've been making!
Here's the card I made for my beautiful Godson's first birthday.

I wish I could remember the company that made that adorable pirate stamp, but I'll edit this post when I find the packaging.

I've made a bunch more cards too but I can't post photos yet as the recipients haven't received them yet ;)

I promise I'll be good and get back on the blog wagon!
Type again soon <3

Music Monday: Liam Lynch

If you love to watch podcasts and you are not yet subscribed to Lynchland... What is wrong with you??
Director, musician, writer, actor, editor, puppeteer...
Is there anything Liam can't do?
The 3rd compilation album of songs from Lynchland (aptly titled "Songs from Lynchland, Vol. 3") was just released on iTunes, so this week's Music Monday comes from that album.
This song was featured in episode 20.




and just because I love this album so much and I've missed a bunch of weeks, I'll give you a bonus song with (100% less aliens)

Eye Spy ... My Karaoke Masterpiece

Ah music. If I could randomly burst into song any time of the day without getting strange looks I probably would. This week I had the pleasure of coming up with the theme for Eye Spy, so I chose to find out what other bloggers like to sing along to.
Here are mine:

Eye Spy an Eye Spy Theme

The lovely Cindy over at bugandpop has asked me to come up with this week's Eye Spy theme!

I want to know your karaoke song! If you were at a karaoke bar right now and could belt your little heart out to any tune in the world what would it be? Or if singing in public isn't your thing, what is your favourite song to rock out to in the shower, or in your car, or vacuuming the floor?
The one song that when you hear it on the radio you can't help but sing at the top of your lungs (with or without your own choreography.)

For more info on Eye Spy and to get in on the action head on over to Cindy's blog.

Dreams Really Do Come True

Please excuse the webcam photo. I actually put this card together at the beginning of April but for some reason never posted it here.

Isn't this knight absolutely adorable? I coloured him in with some Prisma pencils and gamsol. For the life of me I cannot remember the maker of this awesome knight stamp (I also have a cute little pirate from the same folks) or the sentiment but as soon as I figure it out I'll let you all know.

I embossed some gray cardstock with a Cuttlebug folder to give it a neat, almost metal look. The knight and heat embossed sentiment were cut out with some of Spellbinders' Nestabilities label dies.

Eye Spy... green

This afternoon I decided to try my hand at pilates, and being of the very inflexible variety, I enlisted the help of my GREEN pilates band...

Fact of the day: Pilates is HARD!! Please send help!
