He's JUST Ken. This "I am Kennough" BS really pisses me off. He's the boyfriend. The side piece. And let's be HONEST. In the movie, Ken is portrayed as douchey and a complete and total waste of Barbie's time. (And NO I haven't seen the movie but I do have eyeballs and a brain so I can think for myself, thank you!) And maybe you didn't come here to hear a diatribe on all the things that are wrong with the Barbie movie (there are a lot of them!), you came here to see a card. And we'll get to that. But as it is MY blog, I can rant if I want to. And I'm going to!<div><br /></div><div>I mean in the pictures I've seen, the movie captures many of Barbie's sides. I don't recall a creepy, douchey Ken doll that looks somewhat stuck in the 1980s, do any of you??</div><div><br /></div><div>I make a card for Barbie every year, but I haven't made one for Ken in <a href="https://royalpumpkinart.blogspot.com/2019/03/31-days-of-crafting-day-thirteen-happy.html">awhile</a>. Five years, in fact. It's not that I dislike Ken, because I don't. It's just that, well, it's NOT ABOUT HIM!!!! It's about HER. BARBIE. That's how it's always been and that's how it always should be! And the way the movie twisted and turned everything makes me kinda sick.</div><div><br /></div><div>There will be more at the bottom of the post if you so desire to read further ranting. Otherwise, here's my card!</div><div><br /></div><div>Yep, I put Barbie on it too this time, probably because original Ken, while reflective of the times, is not cute at all.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCI8J03Ux5wuMIplZn3onBijXJSYrW7DtFFO4rVDDaO-AFVniuVvZori12waqtE_OJUkS6BYHQeIKpx6VK0J997aPX8ldvZJKKrgusfL7pVhTjkrX3QNUf6WGi9geGqU_4tXmiEOxYYXcDEt8uNUFkGnNb-dtKpE-uWHh7blyoy4o8z5K72PvXtx9qBh8E/s1957/Kenday2024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1957" data-original-width="1957" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCI8J03Ux5wuMIplZn3onBijXJSYrW7DtFFO4rVDDaO-AFVniuVvZori12waqtE_OJUkS6BYHQeIKpx6VK0J997aPX8ldvZJKKrgusfL7pVhTjkrX3QNUf6WGi9geGqU_4tXmiEOxYYXcDEt8uNUFkGnNb-dtKpE-uWHh7blyoy4o8z5K72PvXtx9qBh8E/w400-h400/Kenday2024.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div>Just a few challenges:</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks so much for looking (and reading!) and happy crafting!

My SIL wanted me to watch Ryan Gosling's "performance" and I really have no words. Everyone says "Oh you can tell that's his voice!" to ignore the facts that A) he can't sing and B) he can't sing and C) the song sucks. All valid points that everyone seems to ignore. NOW a friend wants me to point out that Ryan's "singing" isn't as abysmal as say Billie Eilish or Taylor Swift, and I will admit that, okay? But he's still an actor not a singer, and you can't change that. But REALLY. What was his hair in the movie? His wardrobe? And why should we feel bad for Ken?!?!?</div>Lisa :)http://www.blogger.com/profile/01730798858489021145noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742702369344637541.post-41434937318766259992024-03-13T11:00:00.045-04:002024-03-18T02:53:43.211-04:00**SPRING INTO CARDMAKING IG HOP** Week One - Birth Month Flowers<p>We're back!! Welcome to Week 1 of the Spring Into Cardmaking Hop hosted by @<a href="https://www.instagram.com/kellysantidesigns/?img_index=1">kellysantidesigns</a>! Each Wednesday we will share a themed card focusing on the joy of spring. This week's theme is Birth Month Flowers. If this theme inspires you, please share your creation on IG using the hashtag #springintocardmakinghop.</p><p>I actually had so much fun making this card. I had to research what November's birth flower is, and it's chrysanthemum, and then I had to raid my stash for something I could use. I got this set from Unity Stamp Co. along with some astrological stamps last year and had forgotten all about it. The stamps are TINY but I made it work. And I just love this card sketch, you might see different variations of this card in the future :)</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdBZIfKI-Myk1kNLM-Zgm3mDjTmkk2ntg6t3UgAayO9LareH_ZDMEoTTVBjt_jzlLOSwLpkU4AXh1UifDzqLBdXufiDpczwXZq5t6hWdGkX9m7gJMySQ_xfz3wPVjE7JIlFN1fdE-FL1XBXQ0NIQhg0yza4k8BqsvytYVrWhRPrvXguQ5I3kuZNIYKMWR_/s2097/2024%20Spring%20IG%20Hop%20Week%201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2097" data-original-width="2097" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdBZIfKI-Myk1kNLM-Zgm3mDjTmkk2ntg6t3UgAayO9LareH_ZDMEoTTVBjt_jzlLOSwLpkU4AXh1UifDzqLBdXufiDpczwXZq5t6hWdGkX9m7gJMySQ_xfz3wPVjE7JIlFN1fdE-FL1XBXQ0NIQhg0yza4k8BqsvytYVrWhRPrvXguQ5I3kuZNIYKMWR_/w400-h400/2024%20Spring%20IG%20Hop%20Week%201.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Just a few challenges:</p><p><br /></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><a href="https://atlanticheartschallenge.blogspot.com/2024/03/sketch-568.html">Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #568</a></li><li><a href="https://www.stampingsensations.uk/2024/03/march-challenge.html">Stamping Sensations - Spring</a> 1/3</li><li><a href="https://dragonflydreamschallenges.blogspot.com/2024/03/march-challenge-circles.html">Dragonfly Dreams - Circles</a> 1/3</li></ul><p></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks so much for looking and be sure to visit my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/royalpumpkinart/">Instagram</a> to view the whole hop!

It's nothing against Margot Robbie who, from what I've seen on television, plays the part--despite that RIDICULOUS SCRIPT--quite well. She has the look and the personality to embody the doll we all grew up loving. But that's where all the good about this movie ends. Let us not forget too, that Greta Gerwig initially wanted that COW^ Amy Schumer to play this role! The movie is just not what Barbie is about. And look, it's CALLED <i>Barbie</i>, and yes, it features many, many, many Barbies (one of the better aspects of the film), but it's too much about Ken. Poor Ken. Oh get over yourself! Women have taken a backseat to men everywhere since the beginning of time, and she goes and makes the Barbie movie about KEN? Are you kidding me? And then there's Gloria and her "speech". Have any of you seen or read the speech? It's RIDICULOUS. It may have held some water had it been written in 1959 when Barbie was introduced, but today? It's utterly indulgent and insulting to women everywhere!!! I've seen women in shirts with this speech printed on it, and I just shake my head. Do they actually agree with all that BS, or do they just support it because they think they're supposed to? UGH I hate it. I hate it all.</p><p>^I apologize to cows everywhere for that analogy, I think most of us would rather have a real cow in our homes than be anywhere near Amy Schumer 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮</p>Lisa :)http://www.blogger.com/profile/01730798858489021145noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742702369344637541.post-15054973499507789472024-03-08T07:28:00.034-05:002024-03-18T03:07:22.616-04:0031 Days of Crafting - Day Eight - Caffeinated Cuties<p>So last year, I didn't make a card for <i>International Women's Day</i> because I wanted to rebel against all the propaganda the media puts out there. We don't deserve awards just because we're women, we want recognition for who we are and what we do, without attaching our genders to it! Sorry, rant over. Anyways, this year I DID want to make a card for women because I was watching <i>Gilmore Girls</i>, which I adore, and while yes, there are plenty of men in Stars Hollow, at the core, the show is about Lorelai and Rory and their relationship. So I made this card in celebration of THAT. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBe-3XMFVY4db20O7xx_elu7K8_eCzknPkIJIkZjbRx0hsYH_0jjk60gn7OrJDyYaIG5nAKfEKYgBu4D8muVKwqy3vvEc63-ZChMXQeg7gNrSxV-Pur0ZUifWBj2ej2r82WOY4XtVhR2Xzo_U2a0mMMToXt1GXqpv7VefcDWVN0HkPE1WBu-DRAwJYUWVK/s1941/Womens%20Day%202024-1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1941" data-original-width="1941" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBe-3XMFVY4db20O7xx_elu7K8_eCzknPkIJIkZjbRx0hsYH_0jjk60gn7OrJDyYaIG5nAKfEKYgBu4D8muVKwqy3vvEc63-ZChMXQeg7gNrSxV-Pur0ZUifWBj2ej2r82WOY4XtVhR2Xzo_U2a0mMMToXt1GXqpv7VefcDWVN0HkPE1WBu-DRAwJYUWVK/w400-h400/Womens%20Day%202024-1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p>Just a few challenges:</p><ul><li><a href="https://classicdesignchallenge.blogspot.com/2024/02/classic-design-challenge-02-2024-febmar.html">Classic Design Challenge - Anything Goes</a></li><li><a href="https://www.welovestamping.co.uk/2024/03/march-challenge.html">We Love Stamping - Feminine</a> 1/3</li><li><a href="https://craftycatzweeklychallenge.blogspot.com/2024/03/crafty-catz-667-anything-goes.html">Crafty Catz - #667 Anything Goes</a> 1/5</li><li><a href="https://worldwidecrafterscoloristschallenge.blogspot.com/2024/02/worldwide-crafters-and-colorists_01206140686.html">Worldwide Crafters and Colorists - Anything Goes</a> 2/3</li><li><a href="https://wordartwednesday.blogspot.com/2024/02/anything-goes-weeks-637-638.html">Word Art Wednesday - #638 Anything Goes</a> 2/5</li></ul><p>Thanks so much for looking and happy crafting.

Being a November baby, topaz is my birthstone and a yellowy-brown stone was like the worst thing for a Barbie Girl like me to get. Strangely enough though, when I was eight and getting my ears pierced, everyone wanted me to get the little gold balls but I chose my birthstone instead. I'm pretty sure that's the only time I've ever picked it for anything! Anyways, I didn't want to literally put a big ole topaz stone on my card, so I went with the color, and some stones. I mixed that with my favorite color, purple, and some matte gold shimmer to make my card. I actually love how it turned out.</span><br /><div><span face="-apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNqBN2EC747I2xS8bYVJGxnQoeYDB7oTpIkXISz9t6CXCrEVBIL97YJKuRmnZc99dwP9XgW8olVhyphenhyphene6rh-c40qU2awANif6NSbC87ZQxnXEM0udyvldInUHelqIu5h_bS7LGh_De6TGPBmRIisiJw2tDbn6jts9XnDfYWQv5_fVv6xy2fyN_fsH_OBaQNy/s1485/craftykickoff-wk2.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1485" data-original-width="1483" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNqBN2EC747I2xS8bYVJGxnQoeYDB7oTpIkXISz9t6CXCrEVBIL97YJKuRmnZc99dwP9XgW8olVhyphenhyphene6rh-c40qU2awANif6NSbC87ZQxnXEM0udyvldInUHelqIu5h_bS7LGh_De6TGPBmRIisiJw2tDbn6jts9XnDfYWQv5_fVv6xy2fyN_fsH_OBaQNy/w400-h400/craftykickoff-wk2.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /></div><div><span face="-apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">Just a few challenges:</span></div><div><span face="-apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div><ul><li><a href="https://aperfecttimetocraft.blogspot.com/2024/01/a-perfect-time-to-craft-open-challenge.html">A Perfect Time To Craft - #1 Anything Goes</a></li><li><a href="https://daranddiane.blogspot.com/2024/01/sparkle-andor-shine.html">Double D Challenges - Sparkle and/or Shine</a> 2/3</li><li><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;"><a href="https://wordartwednesday.blogspot.com/2024/01/anything-goes-weeks-631-632.html">Word Art Wednesday - #631 Anything Goes</a> 2/5</span></li><li><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;"><a href="https://paperfundaychallenges.blogspot.com/2024/01/january-2024-challenge-61-anything-goes.html">Paper Funday - #61 Anything Goes</a> 2/6</span></li></ul></div><div><span face="-apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div><span face="-apple-system, "system-ui", "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">Be sure visit me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/royalpumpkinart/">Instagram</a> and check out all the awesome cards in our Crafty Kickoff hop!
