And now for MY game!

I just LOVE board games! One of my favorites is Balderdash. It's a super-fun creative game where you have to make up the answers! For example, if you are defining a word (that no one has EVER heard of, mind you!), each player writes a convincing "definition" of that word. All of the possible "definitions", including the real definition, are read aloud, and players vote on which they believe is correct! As you can imagine, it gets crazy...and hilarious! My FAVORITE game ever!! We are going to play a sort of Balderdash game here!

I am going to give you a FAKE movie title about stamping and/or scrapbooking. I am making up this movie (so don't rush to the store thinking it's real! LOL!). You will write a convincing, creative, etc. description for this "movie" as a comment on this post. Remember, this (FAKE! FAKE!) movie is about stamping and/or scrapbooking. On Thursday morning, we will choose our favorite entry to be the winner! So get creative! Get funny! Get going! Remember, there's a Hullabaloo Stamp (Unity), Bazzill Scalloped Circle Chipboard Tags, and a bottle of Prima Sweet N Sassy Flowers - Cinderella up for grabs!!

The name of our "movie" is Beverly Hills Crop. (I crack myself up sometimes!!)

Take a hold of you paper distressers and get ready for a cutting edge movie experience with Beverly Hills Crop! A major art gallery is portraying cards from all over the country by the most prominent scrappers and card makers - but a break in and theft delay the opening! Who stole Mandy's prize-winning designer card? The only clue on the scene is an lime green ATC with a signature "LL". Will the Beverly Hills cardmakers solve this crime before the embossing ink dries out? Find out for yourselves and go to your nearest movie theater!

In the heart of Beverly Hills, you will find a small group of ladies who have a passion for paper crafting. For the past year these wealthy and attractive ladies meet once a month for a crop. They've yet to produce one project because of all the chatter and munching. They are know as the Beverly Hills Crops.

I'll take a shot at it! Beverly Hills Crop is a documentary covering the afore mentioned annual fundraising event held to benefit Ronald McDonald Houses across America. This documentary includes fabulous demonstrations by Tim Holtz, Ali Edwards and Claudine Hellmuth!

In a LONG awaited sequel to Troop Beverly Hills, the girls scouts have grown up and worked their way into the wonderful world of scrapping! They must work together to beat out all the other teams (like the favored Utah team) and scrap their way to the top!

Five women are on an important mission - to "touch up" their old scrapbook pages. Now that they have had their plastic surgery done, the pictures of them in their old scrapbook pages will give away their little secret. Can they hide their true age along with their nips and tucks with a few cleverly placed embellishments? Only their time at the Beverly Hills Crop party can tell.

Amy said...

I am loving these "movies" LOL...Happy Anniversary Mandy!!

Detroit cop Mandy is delighted when she receives a surprise visit from her best friend, Cuttlebug, who lives in California. Not long after CB arrives in Detroit, CB is killed, right in front of Mandy, by a woman named Shimmerz. Mandy follows Shimmerz to Beverly Hills, California, where Beverly Hills scrapping police's Lieutenant Stickles assigns Detective Prima and partner, Sergeant Ranger, to keep an eye on Mandy. Mandy visits her friend Wisteria, who works in a local scrapbook store. With Wisteria's help, Mandy discovers that Shimmerz works for Wisteria's boss, Lime Rickey, the man who owns the LSS. Rickey is a black market CB die trader who is using the LSS as a front, and Rickey had Shimmerz kill CB after Rickey accused CB of stealing some of Rickey's CB dies. With the help of Wisteria, Prima, and Ranger, Mandy does what she can to make sure Rickey and Shimmerz won't kill any more Cuttlebugs!

In this long awaited sequel to the Oscar nominated Kindergarten Crop, there is no lack of suspense and drama. It follows the trials and tribulations of Amanda, a former pageant queen turned secret agent, and her sidekick, a chiuaua named Chalupa, as they attempt to decipher the secret code of an organization called Beverly Hills Crop. The secret code known only as Basic Grey, is said to have been written by the ancient Assembly of Provocraft. Can they crack the code or will their efforts be undermined by Prima, the stylish and evil embellisher....

Beverly Hills Crop: Have you ever bought a paper trimmer, just to have it cut crooked lines? This movie is a documentary following one scrapbooker on her quest to find the perfect paper trimmer in Beverly Hills. Hours upon hours of watching her scour craft stores only to cut crooked. Definitely will put all scrapbookers on the edge of her seat! But how will this documentary end? Will she find "THE ONE?" Or will this be the end of her days as a Beverly Hills Cropper?

Ravengirl said...

Oh my word, these are too funny!

Cheri said...

Beneath the glamor of Beverly Hills lies a cut-throat competition every year where the players get as dirty as they come trying to out-scrap the other players in just one evening. The prize for this year's winner is a cool $1 million. Amid the frenzy of this year's soiree, someone murders the favorite for this year's prize. Beverly Hills Police Department sends in their best cop to investigate the crop!

Nikki said...

K here goes ..
Beverly Hills Crop is a true story based on a over zealous quirky girl becomes a total scrapbooking junkie. It will totally blow your mind as Prima (played by Sandra Bullock) Starts off by only wanting to create a birthday card and gets yanked into the world of die-cuts,Stamps and full on assault of glitter glues. See how she gets wrapped up in ribbon and falls down in the flock. What she does for a candy jar is just UNREAL. This is one movie you won't forget !! So Hold on to your Glitter and you will definitely be "GLUED" into your seat.

"Hope that works"
Nikki

Beverly Hills Crop... the story of some California SAHM ready at a moments notice to investigate crop crimes. There's an evil WIZARD out to banish all croppers. Anyone that comes in contact with the Wizard DIES (pun intended). The Beverly Hills Croppers ban together to battle the Wizard in a crop off.
