As you may have noticed, Edna and the Snarky Sisters do like to be creative in our challenges. And so I introduce you to Challenge #145 (which we now wish we had thought of 103 challenges ago...) Z is for Zaphod Beeblebrox.
If you are asking yourself, who or what is Zaphod Beeblebrox, I am guessing you have never read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. And if you haven't, please put it on your TBR immediately. It is a witty romp through space with an oddball cast of characters, written by a genius wordsmith. I will try not to give away too much of the plot here. ;) Hitchhiker's began as a BBC radio serial and was first published in 1979. Looking through it, I found this quote that I'll just leave here for our modern times...
It is a well known fact that those people who most want to rule people
are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary:
anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President
should on no account be allowed to do the job.
But wait, you're not here for a book club, you're here for a paper crafting challenge! Instead of a card this week, I decided to make a recipe card:
Lots of intergalactic inspiration on our challenge blog, both from the Sistahs and our current Queen of Snark, Lisa. We are looking for any space/science fiction-related creation, so don't feel limited by our challenge title!
Supplies: Neenah white cardstock, Pebbles patterned paper, Fiskars Join the Party stamps, Versafine onyx black ink, Wow clear gloss embossing powder, Copic markers, MFT wonky stitched rectangle die
Brilliant card and a great post! Jo x
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I tried Hitchhikers several years ago on audio and aborted after about 45 minutes in. Wasn't for me, at least at the time. Should I give it another go?
ReplyDeleteThis makes for an interesting challenge. I may need to make "your" drink. :-)
Great recipe card, interesting story too I've heard of the book but if it isn't Horror, Medical Horror, Mystery or "Bones" I haven't read it. should check out the library might be the only place I will find it. (and now I need to go see what challenge was 103 challenges ago. lol.
ReplyDeleteOn your advice, I am going to seek out and read ASAP
ReplyDeleteMaybe then I will get the references of our projects LOL
This is simply awesome possum!
