Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #55- Hocus Pocus


Come join us this week over at CINEMA SATURDAY!!

We are so excited to share a great family film with you this week... Get all the kiddos involved and have a great time getting ready for HALLOWEEN.
Then come back and post your projects inspired by the movie

HOCUS POCUS
You can find a link to more info about the movie here.
Did you know that Kenny Ortaga was the director for this movie.. He was the one responsible for High School Musical...
This movie has an all star cast.
Bette Midler
Sarah Jessica Parker
Kathy Najami
Just to name a few...

This is a great movie about a trio of witches that are awakened by curious kids during the Halloween season and all the trouble they cause by awaking the Sanderson Sisters in Salem Mass. This movie is a little suspenseful for toddlers but but still fun for the older kids...

My project inspired my the movie
HOCUS POCUS
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays EVER! I don't know what it is about exactly... Maybe all the yummy sessional candy like candy corn.. The Pumpkin spice candle smell in the air.. Or the change of the season and all the colors... It's just warms my soul... I know weird it totally getting colder... I am on a mission to find lots of vintage halloween things.. I just love vintage... The images are so sweet and classic at the same time..
I have a few new addictions... Burlap and Rosettes... I love all the texture they create on cards and projects.
Is this the cutest brad you have ever seen!! I love this cute old witchie poo!

Gather your family up and watch this ADORABLE family Halloween movie.. It's one of our favorites.. Were did the time go? We took our oldest to this movie 16 years ago... YIKES!

Come back and let me know that you created a card and that you have added me to your blog roll if you already have me there I love you 2... Then mention my candy in your next post and I will have a random.org for a few halloween goodies(Stamps included).
I will take a picture of the goodies in the a.m.

Thanks for flying by..

Happy Halloween!!
