It's the 9th week on The Craft Barn's Quotes and Lyric Challenge and the words are UNIQUE or FAME.
Plenty of meaningful quotes and lyrics but no images popped into my head until I found this quote from Murray Walker - definitely one to make you smile.
The background is a swooshy mix of Mowed Lawn, Bundled Sage and Shabby Shutters and I've just torn some black card for the track. The jalopies are Tim Holtz stamps - the two unique ones stamped with Vermillion Archival and in third place Managanese Blue Archival. The checkered flag is an Oak House Studio border stamp and it's just finished with the typed quote.
For those of you who don't know who Murray Walker is well he commented on motor racing for years and said what he saw - check out this link for more funny quotes. I remember him commentating on rally cross and saying 'and he can see the winning line' but then a huge clod of mud hit the lead car's windscreen and he went spinning off into oblivion!! Those were the days.....
Thanks for looking - I'm off to see what everyone else has been making. I think craft is going to have to take a back seat for a few weeks as it's now my busy season. I invigilate in exams in the local school - I have 30 in the next 5 weeks - and watching students doing exams in not inspirational!!
Fabulous - made me laugh!

ReplyDeleteI was intrigued by the old jalopies and the way you illustrated the quote. I've not heard of Murray Walker, but I suspect he's a British phenomenon, and we "in the colonies" are not privy to his wit and wisdom. You did a fabulous job with both the quote AND the art. Really brought Walker's words to life, at least for me.
ReplyDeleteGreat quote and love your swooshy mixed background of greens! xx
