I did not think I was ever going to get this posted, I have had so many “technical difficulties” over the weekend with my computer then camera…. that just had to happen at the same time…grrrr…. at least it looks like it is all fixed up and it should be fine now thanks to a little “geek” help. Last week I found a challenge/stamping site called “embellish” I know they have been around for a while and I have seen there badge on peoples blogs but I had not been to the site myself….. Well…. I wish I had stopped by sooner! what a talented bunch over there, very inspiring and I love the challenges they set. I felt so inspired I played along straight away, the challenge was to create a “party” inspired project that used Kraft, Red, White and Black {what a yummy colour combo}.
Well I don’t “party” much because….well……I am really not that hip n happen’ {lol} but I was already excited because the second trailer for “Sex in the City 2” was released that day….and its GOOD! {yes that’s how un-hip I am…. I get excited over movie trailers lol…. I blame years of working in the film industry for that} My sister and I both loved the first “Sex in the City” Film and went together on the first day of release with the full Gold Class experience. My Sister works full time in a very demanding Marketing role and has 2 little girls so going to the movies together without the kids is VERY VERY rare, I made her a save the date/invite for us to go see the film on the release day.
I did cheat a little and added green to the olive in the Martini…. It is my understanding a good Martini needs an olive so I just had to add that little bit of green {lol} 😉
The Martini’s are a little bit of a joke between her and I from the first film, getting in the spirit we {who both never really drink} ordered Martini’s each to take in to the Cinema because we were at Gold Class….Anyway they were STRONG I had a little sip and I was done…. I gave her mine, she had both and then found the film even more enjoyable because well she was a little drunk. When I gave her the invite I told her the only cocktails get was getting this time were inside the card {lol}

This is unbelievably beautiful, Teneale! Well, not unbelievably, because it’s pretty darn typical of you, but it is gorgeous all the same! The Medallion stamp is MADE to emboss on red – and why didn’t I think of that? I love that you have put so much love into this ‘save the date’ card for your sister. What a fun thing to do together.
Teneale, I love this card, its a very very elegant and sophisticated card, and i know your sister loves it.
Teneale

What a fantastic card. Rather james Bond-ish I think. Your creative mind and incredible talent never ceases to amaze me.
Great Stuff Teneale like always. Just love what you make.
You are totally outrageous and I love it!! Thanks for sharing the trailer – I had not seen it and now have saved the date for myself too!! Hope your sis loved this card…..its fabulous! I found Embellish a little while ago….they are totally amazing, huh!! xx
Hi Boss,
Nice plug for Hoyts there he.he.
Can’t sleep so I thought I would come see what your doing and almost died you gave Hoyts a plug! Funny girl.
It has been forever, miss you
Love little Jess C
Hi Teneale OR Boss whichever you like more. he.he.
Jessica woke me up by making lots of noise in our kitchen, I popped out of my room to kill her and this is how it went down……..
Setting the scene: Amy still half a sleep enters the kitchen, ready to kill her room mate Jessica
Jess: Hi Amy! Your awake too! Hey did you realise Sex in the City is out in June
Amy: WHAT
Jess: Teneale and her Sister are going
Amy: What Teneale as in Boss Teneale
Jess: Yeah look! She made a card {Amy is taken to Jess’s Mac}
Amy:…WHAT…. I don’t understand
Jess: Look, she is so clever! Sometimes scary and bossy but very clever
Amy: Wow she is good at this
Jess: Yeeeeeeah. I miss her
Amy: ohhh…. the trailer….Watch it! Watch it
{Both watch}
Amy: Elise will kill her for plugging Hoyts. Lets email her.
Both: Yeah
Jess: Get Teneale in trouble for once {giggling}
Well I hope that put a smile on your face, like Jess said it has been forever and your the best. We love you, You always listened to our problems that were never really problems I now realise but you gave very good advise, You were like our work Mum.. We need to all catch up? Want to go to the movies. I can get you cheap tickets he.he
Love Amy
Simply fabulous! I love it! You totally needed to add that splash of green, after all a Martini without an Olive is a crime! LOL!

This is GAWJUSS!!!!!! My girlfriends and I are going to Atlantic City, NJ for the weekend before SITC2 opens. We are going to watch seasons 4, 5 and 6 and the first movie all weekend. We are going to get all bedazzled and go out to dinner and dancing. It’s going to be excellent! How exciting that you and your sister are taking time to see this together, as well. Have a blast!! Would you mind if I CASE this for my girls that are attending the weekend with me? They will FLIP when they open this invite!!!! (even though we’ve been planning it for months!) heehee!! It’s so fun to be a girl!!!!!!!!!
Love what you have done, I am super excited for the film and love the idea of making cards for my girls to make sure we all go. Super idea. Love your style.
Katie
OMGosh Teneale every time I come here I think she can’t possibly do something even better than the last and KAPOW! You did it again, I LOVE it!!! I really hope you two have a brilliant night and I might CASE your whole idea and invite my sister to the movie too! Thanks for the inspiration as always!
Cheers!
Jane
OH. MY. GOSH. … Teneale, I simply ADORE this card. Love the style, love the colours, love the reason behind it, love the inside, LOVE IT!!! My DD18 and I are movie buffs and I love the idea of making an invite to a movie date with her; you are DA BOMB!
“Divine” That was the word I used to describe the card when I saw it. Can’t wait to see the show with you and I’m a little disappointed that the only drinks I can have are those inside the card. I’m very proud of everything you do and glad you posted it online cause I’d told some of the girls from work about it yesterday and went looking but it wasn’t there. So I’ve shown them today. Love ya…
Fantabulous! Thanks for sharing the challenge site! Will pop off and have a browse! So nice to read (above) how much your sister loved this card. And … what a great idea! I am going to steal that idea sometime soon! Hugs, Andrea xxx
Love the card Teneale! Very classy! 🙂
Love this invitation. Great use of the Medallion stamp and ribbon. The inside is fabulous! I Like the “Carrie On” and “Just us Girls -NO KIDS” What a fantastic way to celebrate SATC2.
Hey Ten,
Just maybe you will love to put my card on your blog…………….its going to be all stampin up, hey fits the criteria somewhat.
I do hope you love it, lots of love has gone into it……………..and lots of stampin up product……………..well not actually in it……………….but the thought is there for it to go in it. Hope you have a very happy birthday for Friday.
Wow, I’m totally impressed by your work! I’m a new visitor to your blog, thanks to Nancy Reilly for posting one of your gorgeous Vintage Vogue card this past weekend on her iPICKS column. I will be back! I love all the details you put into both the outside and inside of your cards. Gorgeous!!
You did an amazing job on this challenge! Your card is just WOW! Love it!
Your card is lovely as usual but OMG thanks for the trailer. I so care and can’t wait for SATC2!
Your gate fold card is gorgeous! I love how you put the martini in the middle of the medallion stamp!
That trailer looks great! What a fun “date” for you and your sister.
Wow, this card is so classy. It’s taken me ages to think of the right word I wanted to describe it. I love it. It is amazing and so typically you. You rock.
Hello Lovely Lady,
Happy 29th Birthday, now I would like to comment on this beautiful piece of work, as I thought it was all about me (until I read further and realised it was about Sex and the City) lol, the 2nd of June is my birthday, so I thought you made this special card for me. (I know I’m a dag aren’t I). Have a great birthday and see you tonight (can’t wait!)
This is amazing – so classy and a wonderful gift for your sister. What a treat for you both to look forward to as well.
This is beyong word! WOW!!!! So gorgeous, so full of clever details… I’m in love. 🙂
