Yay! It's Friday! :) Hope everyone is having a fabulous week! It's time for a new Wags 'n Whiskers challenge, and this week, the fabulously talented Jeanette is asking us to use flowers. I was commissioned to make a Mother's Day card with two boys with skin of color. So I chose both Super Ryan and Just For You. Aren't they too cute? I love these two together, because "Just For You" does indeed look like the older brother, don't you think? I stamped them in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Sketch Copics. I then cut them out and double popped them off the card.
And right now, both of these stamps, as well as all the Wags 'n Whiskers stamps illustrated by Crissy Armstrong, are on sale for 25% off!!! How cool is that!! If you've been wanting to get some of them, now is the time!
Please be sure and pop over to the challenge blog to see the rest of the Divas fabulous creations! We're sadly saying goodbye to Bree from her GDT spot, and welcoming Melanie on board as our new GDT. We'd love it if you played along with the challenge, and this time you have two weeks to play along, because next week is the NEW SUMMER RELEASE of Wags 'n Whiskers! So hope you stop by on Wednesday and Thursday for the sneak peeks, and then again on Friday for the celebration blog hop for the new release! The new stamps are sooooo CUTE, and I can't wait for you to see them! Thanks for stopping by to see me today, and hope to see you back again soon! Hugs!

Oh Hello! Guess who entered her photos but forgot to type in the text?? Yes, that would be me!
This is a lovely card designed by my neighbor, Andrea. Andrea had the scrapping ladies over to make Mother's Day cards. Andrea has a plethora of stamps and ink pads; the woman could easily start her own store! Or maybe start giving stamping lessons!
I only made one change on Andrea's design, I added doodle dots. But even then Andrea made suggestions. I am so lucky to have such a talented and super-nice neighbor!!
Check out her scorching chemistry with hubby Abhishek in these stills from the movie
She's officially one of the most beautiful women in the world, so no surprises that Aishwarya Rai looks gorgeous even when she's been shooting in a jungle for a really long time. Yes, facing mudslides, leeches, snakes and waterfalls, she's always a stunner in 'Raavan'. Just get a look at these new stills from the movie. Ash looks HOT, and even in the photographs, we're loving the chemistry she has with hubby Abhishek Bachchan.
We know that in the movie she's married to the character played by Southern star Vikram. But looking at these stills, we wonder if there's a twist in the story, and Ash's character ends up with Abhishek's character in the end. Just like in real-life! We'll wait for the movie to find out, meanwhile enjoy these cool pictures of Ash and Abhishek from 'Raavan'.

Sasha says he’s being linked to her because they stay in the same building!
Shahid Kapoor is getting quite tired of the stories about him and his ‘Kaminey’ co-star Priyanka Chopra. Apparently, he can’t understand why there are so many rumours about him and PC. Hmm...maybe because of those hot and heavy scenes in 'Kaminey' and the fact that they showed up together for a private party soon after the movie.
Anyway, Shahid thinks all sorts of stories get made up about him and Priyanka because they live in the same building. Really, that's the reason? So what’s Shahid's solution to this problem? Well, he’s actually thinking about changing his home address. Wonder how Priyanka will take the news? Maybe she'll want to move too. And then they'll be right back where they started!

Who's the actress he spent a fun evening with?
Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan recently spent a fun evening with his 'Cheeni Kum' co-star Tabu."Tabu, the wonderful Tabu, dropped by in the evening. She had not met me for long and had just seen 'Paa' on DVD. So we talked and talked and talked on everything under the proverbial film related sun. Films and directors, scripts and performances, present times and past times, actors and actresses, media and media. Endlessly... a delight," the actor posted on his blog.
In the 2007 movie 'Cheeni Kum', Tabu played a 30-something woman who falls in love with a 67-year-old chef, played by Amitabh.

Priyanka Gandhi’s campaign videos helped Kat play a politician in ‘Rajneeti’
Katrina Kaif plays a sober, sari-clad politician in ‘Rajneeti’, and rumours were that the character was based on Sonia Gandhi. It was even being speculated that Katrina’s ‘Sonia look’ in the movie was causing problems for ‘Rajneeti’ events in the political hub of Delhi.
But now it turns out that Kat didn’t model her character after Sonia Gandhi. The influences was of Sonia Gandhi's daughter, Priyanka!
Katrina says she watched a lot of the younger Gandhi’s campaign videos for body language and crowd interaction references. Well, the referencing (or should we say role modelling?) worked, because we think Katrina looks a lot like Priyanka Gandhi in the movie. Just check out the picture of Kat in the ‘Rajneeti’ poster and Priyanka Gandhi in real life, and you’ll see what we’re talking about!

And she definitely doesn't like team Rajasthan Royals being questioned
Shilpa Shetty is getting quite emotional about the Rajasthan Royals ownership issue. Yesterday Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Shashank Manohar said that Shilpa and her hubby Raj Kundra's names didn't figure in the IPL team's shareholding papers. And Shilpa tweeted furiously that Raj was a stake holder and she was the brand ambassador. But obviously there have ben more questions about the Rajasthan Royals franchise. And Shilpa doesn't seem to be having much fun tackling them.She said earlier today, "Can't answer every1 queries(som very wierd). For the last time. Yes we r stake owners in RR, I am ALSO the brand ambassador. can't get into details."
Okay, Shilpa, we get your point, and we also get that the questions are getting to you. "If there r issues or qtns (questions) by BCCI, can be adressd directly to RR, Y does it hav to b done via the media!?" the star tweeted later.
She added, "No room for erronious commnts 2b made, Custodians of Cricket must not hamper d Brandvalue of this viable sport. RR Support all Bcci nd govt probe. Have always done things with integrity so when our credibility was qtnd (questioned) it hurt. Not anymore cause we hav done r bit. Truth wil prevail. SMILING:)"
Right you are, Shilpa, and we hope you'll keep smiling as the investigations progress!

:/
Last night was super duper cold!
and somehow,
That's why I don't have enough sleep now.
Because I wake up at 5.30am ~
Actually I don't wish to wake up,

Just now I'm continuous being the first person who finished my accounting mid-sem exam :/

Happy Tuesday everyone! Hope your week is off to a fantastic start! We're supposed to be WINDY here today. YUCK! I don't mean breezy...it's always breezy here in Reno. We're talking windy, windy, windy. The losing shingles kind of windy. So hopefully it won't do too much damage. Well enough about the weather. :) With the arrival of Tuesday, that means it's time for a new challenge from Dawny at Papertake Weekly. This week, she is asking everyone to do something different, and since it's the last Tuesday of the month, we're being sponsored by the fabulous Simon Says Stamp! Whether it be a different type of fold for your card, a different technique, different colors than your norm, whatever. It doesn't matter as long as it's something different for you. Me? I chose shabby chic! I hope I accomplished it. I sure did try, anyway.
The teapot was cut with my Cricut Expression using the Dreams Come True cartridge. I cut out several and layered the pot three deep and the handle and spout two deep, all with dimensional tape between them. I took my scissors to the edges and used lots of Cat's Eye Jumbo Java chalk ink around the edges.
The gorgeous lace and ribbon is from Stamp and Create, the tea stamp is from Magnolia-licious, the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, the papers are Nitwit Buds n Blossoms, and the leaves are made with the Martha Stewart frond punch. I tied a piece of twine around the handle of the teapot and looped it around and tied the other end throught the tea stamp. I wanted to simulate a tea bag. I finished it all off by using some Kaiser flat backed pearls.
Because of the dimension, I also made an envelope box to hold it. So what do you think? Did I accomplish the shabby chic look? Please be sure and hop over to Papertake Weekly to see what fabulous creations the rest of the design team came up with. Then grab your paper, your glue, and then figure out what "something new" you've been wanting to do. We'd love to see it, and you just might win a prize! Thanks for stopping by to see me today, and hope to see you back again soon! Hugs! 
I recently added a new stamp set to my collection: Berries and Cherries was purchased from Taylored Expressions. Taylor has some of the cutest themed cupcake stamps on the markets. But at the moment I in a fruit phase so I chose cherries.
I stamped the bowl of cherries image in Stampin' Up's chocolate brown classic ink. I colored in with Copic markers. I cut the bowl image and the background scalloped matting using my nestabilities. I also used a new Stampin' Up border punch to finish the edges of the red and gold papers.
I used a circle punch to cut out the phrase cirlce: "Life is just a blow of Cherries". I mounted the phrase over a strip of yellow-gold ribbon which I tied into a little knot. The card front section is mounted on a plain white A2 cardstock card base.
I know this was a quicky post, but I am having a busy week!!
Remember to leave a comment under my Monday's BBTB2 blog hop post to be in the drawing for the Mother's Day mini cartridge.
Abhishek dived from a 90 foot cliff, braved snakes while shooting for it
He dived from a 90-ft cliff into water, stood under a waterfall for two hours, braved snakes and leeches in Kerala's forests - Abhishek Bachchan says shooting for 'Raavan' was emotionally and physically challenging for him.The actor revealed that he decided to jump from scary heights despite a no from director Mani Ratnam.
"I did jump. There was a professional diver to train me how to do it," Abhishek, who has teamed up with wife Aishwarya Rai in the movie, told IANS in an interview.
"When we went up there, it was 90 feet or something. So the insurance people said that we can't allow him to do it. You can't put your lead actor's life at risk," he said.
"Mani said no, I am not going to risk my actor jumping off that (cliff). Actually, the current of that river is very intense. There are rocks at the bottom.
"In the meantime, a five-year-old boy came and dived into the water. We were shooting it at Hogenakkal (waterfall on the Cauvery river), where these local kids jump off for money. So five-six people jumped at the end of the day and finally the shot was taken," he said.
"This is the most challenging film I have ever done in my life. I haven't done such a physically and emotionally challenging film in my life. And it's not about going to tough locations or tough scenes. The film drains you and you feel so good when you go home at night because you feel that you have done something. Getting a movie like 'Raavan' is so rare. You don't get such a role today," Abhishek said.
Ratnam's 'Raavan' is said to be a modern interpretation of the epic "Ramayana". It also stars southern superstar Vikram, who plays a cop married to Aishwarya.
The director simultaneously shot 'Raavan' in Tamil and Hindi at various locations, including the Athirapally forests in Kerala, Ooty in Tamil Nadu, Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh, Kolkata, and the Malshej Ghats in Maharashtra. The film has lots of action scenes and stunts performed by the actors.
Ratnam completed the film despite health problems.
"Once you work with him, you will be in awe of him because of the talent he brings to the table. The minute he says cut, he turns into a dear friend. He is someone very close to me. I really feel a strong bond with him. But in front of the camera, you don't have to work to give him the respect - it just comes... He is truly just the best," said Abhishek.
It was Ratnam who gave Abhishek his first hit in 'Yuva' and they later worked together in 'Guru'.
Talking about his character, Abhishek said: "Beera is the most fun character I have played. Fun because when we work on a character, we draw an outline and then fill in the blanks. But Beera is so unpredictable that you can get away with everything. Mani said do whatever you have done. Make it a convincing performance.
"I believe if you can look the character, 50 percent of your job done. I think when you get the body language correct, half of your work is done. And if you have understood the body language, your dialogues after that would just come."
Ratnam loves shooting on real locations to extract the best from his actors, said Abhishek.
"On the first day, he puts us under the waterfall for two hours and, trust me, you are in character. Mani loves to shoot at location. You will think, 'where have we come?' The jungles of Kerala, the snakes and leeches... then you realise that he puts you into the situation where in a day or two you start reacting instinctively as your character would react because you are actually facing that.
"You don't need to act that much, you are just reacting naturally. So when you go to locations like that, it brings out the character automatically."

Tamils shouted slogans outside his home over his decision to visit as IIFA chief guest
Hundreds of Tamils protested outside the bungalow of Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan in Mumbai today (April 25), shouting slogans against his decision to visit Sri Lanka as chief guest for the India International Films Awards (IIFA) function in June."We urge him not to attend the function in Colombo as a symbol of solidarity for the Tamilian cause in Sri Lanka. Tamils have been subject to atrocities and war crimes perpetrated by the Mahinda Rajapaksa government in that country," C. Rajendran, spokesperson for the protesters, told IANS.
The protesters marched from Bachchan's Pratiksha bungalow to his Jalsa residence, where a delegation met him and two IIFA office bearers, who assured the representatives that they would convey the sentiments of Tamils to the IIFA governing board and take a suitable decision.
Later, Rajendran told mediapersons that the Sri Lankan government had allegedly killed over 1.5 lakh Tamils during its war with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in the last couple of years. He claimed that over 3.5 lakh Tamils continue to face a "hostile administration" in that country.

Guess what I FINALLY purchased?? The Life's A Beach cartridge! I don't know why I had not purchased this little cutie sooner because it is loaded with adorable cuts! My first Life's A Beach card features this adorable print Gecko heading off to the beach.
I love the paper that I used to cut the gecko, but sadly now it is all gone. It is from the same set as the orange background paper and the light blue paper on which the gecko is crawling. The phrase "fun in the sun" was cut with Bazzill cardstock, and it is on the matching phrase function with the Gecko.
Life's a beach also had some super-cute multi cuts for borders and such. I just couldn't resist adding these four little geckos as an inside border. I matted them on rust Bazzill cardstock which is flanked by the orange print from the front.
I finished the card by adding green and orange flowers and a double layer of ribbon. I used my favorite pens to do a bit of doodling and voila - a cute Gecko in the sun card!!
Palm Seedlings=Nightmare
Today was a full day of outdoor work. The pollen has about finished from the trees. My poor cats, 2 of them, suffered allergies really bad. I bought some wipes and have been cleaning eyes for a week. Things are getting better for them and we are not sneezing as much anymore.....however....
Now that it has all stopped, clean up must begin. While watering the rose garden under the palm, I noticed hundreds of little grass shoots coming up. Knowing it wasn't grass, I groaned. Palm seedlings had begun sprouting and those little buggers were like weeds!!! I pulled and dug and pulled and dug all morning. It was not fun. I tried to see the positive in it, but it didn't work. Note to self for next year....DO NOT let the seeds sit on the ground!!! I'm sure there are still more but I think I got the majority.
Meanwhile two evil things wait for me.....1. The weeds. This spring has had a lot of rain and therefore the weeds have become large plants. I have been weeding for about 3 weeks. Today I used spray and hopefully it takes care of it all. My plan for this upcoming week is to work a section a night cleaning up the damn things. 2. Leaves and pollen. It's not silver or gold like in that Rudolph special. It sucks. People say..."What a lovely mulch!" I say what a pain in the ass to clean up. There are about 10-11 bags worth on the ground. Remember when I wrote that the oak trees looked like they were dying? Well, now they are super green and lush....what a difference 3 weeks make!! However, things are still dusted with pollen and more pollen...it's nasty. So that awaits me next weekend.
I also purchased several catsclaw vines to cover a wooden trellis at the front gate....so I dug and dug more today. Those will look nice once they reach the top of the trellis. I also purchased plumago and sweet potato vines. I planted the potato vines but not the plumago. Too tired. I sprayed, planted, fertilized the bamboo and rose garden, trimmed, watered, and cleaned the courtyard.
Several people asked for requests and I'll do my best to help. One I definitely can do, but the other holds a challenge. I have the North and Eastern sides to contemplate. It is difficult because old growth is there and it isn't attractive but because it's old, it offers shade and green.....which for the desert is wonderful. The owners on that side all want something different or no changes at all....which puts me in a spot....what do I do? For now, I'm focusing on the sides and the courtyard until it is all done......then.....I will tackle the monster that lies ahead. I'll need to sit down with the homeowners next year and get their input. I know 5 homeowners have their take on things.....plus, the planters. I don't want to put anything in those things....but they look absolutely stupid without anything in them....so again, I'll need to sit with the homeowners and talk. Well...that's all for this week. I have more rose pics....this week it was the week of the reds....I'll post soon. Promise. Until next week....

He reveals how and when he contracted the disease
Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan Saturday revealed he suffers from liver cirrhosis even though he doesn't drink alcohol. The actor said he contracted the disease after his near fatal accident while shooting 'Coolie' in 1982.
"Friends, relatives, well wishers and the workers and staff of our pharmaceutical factory, all lined up (to give blood). I lived. That was 1982, almost 28 years ago. But in and around the year 2000-2002, a routine investigation threw up a scenario which had hitherto gone undetected," the actor posted on his blog.
Amitabh met with the accident during one of the action scenes in the film 'Coolie'. His surgery required a lot of blood. The urgency of its administration propelled several volunteers to come forward. Two hundred people donated blood and 60 bottles of blood were collected and injected in the actor. But, this caused the problem.
"Some of the blood from an unknown donor was infected with the Australian antigen Hepatitis. This particular infection or mode in a particular blood donor has the unique quality of getting active inside the system after lying dormant for a couple of months.
"It was also an unknown hepatitis in 1982 and there were, perhaps due to the urgency of the matter, no known immediate tests to ascertain its existence before it was administered. So it went into my system, festered and attacked my liver.
"Eight years ago, during the course of an MRI, they discovered that 25 percent of my liver had been destroyed by it. I was, therefore, technically or shall we say in medical terminology, a patient by default. A patient that had developed cirrhosis of the liver - a condition that is normally associated with that of an alcoholic. So here I was, a non-alcoholic, a teetotaller, with an ailment that I imbibed through a blood transfusion from a donor," he added.
Because of this problem, the 67-year-old actor has to get himself monitored on a regular basis.
"Now since the liver and any ailment associated with it is extremely sensitive, I have to be under constant vigil and monitoring, to keep checking if there is any further damage taking place. A few days back my blood report showed a sudden rise in my liver counts and the doctor felt it necessary to investigate further through an MRI. For me, this is an every three month procedure," Amitabh said.
