Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #100 Pride and Prejudice

Welcome to the 100th challenge.

What an amazing adventure this ride has been.. I still remember my sweetheart telling me a girl named Sankari called for you.... I think my jaw hit the floor.. What? I said.. She sill call you back again later? I had met this beautiful girl through Kristina Werner's Color challenge. We had shared sweet exchanges with one another and we had both noticed that we had been listing what movie we had been watching at the bottom of our posts.. When I finally got the return call I was just completely excited and in shock at the same time... Once I heard the voice on the other end of the phone.. I felt like I was being reunited with one of my oldest and dearest friends ever. We talked for hours and hours.. AMAZING!!! At this point I find it really hard to have more than a couple days go by and not here that ray of sunshine on the other end of the phone.. I truly have the dearest and sweetest friend ever... And do you want to know the hardest part of it all.. We have never meet in person.. I know!!!! We live SOO far from each other. WE WILL MEET heart to heart some day.. WE WILL...

I love you forever

I love you for always

as long as I'm living

my dear friend you'll be...

THANKS FOR SHARING THIS JOURNEY WITH ME!!!

I love you my Sunny Sankari.

You won't want to miss her fabulous project here. She will truly amaze you..

-----------------------------------

My project inspired my the 100th challenge

Jane Austen's

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE

First you have no idea how hard it is to narrow it down to one inspiration.. I think we chatted for hours on what to pick for you all... We just love so many things about this move... AND THANKS to all of you who voted for this movie.. It's only the best movie EVER!

When I was chatting to my sweet DH about what to make he really dove into this challenge.. He suggested that I make something about Elizabeth's muddy boots and hemline.. He though it really reflected what she was all about.. A bold young lady who wasn't afraid to do what ever she wanted even if she was told it wasn't what a young lady should do... But yet she was still refined and elegant... I love that idea but really couldn't wrap my brain around what I would make with that in mind.. So we chatted a little more and though that the letter exchanged between Mr Darcy and Elizabeth was a really great place to start...

If you can imagine with me you might even agree that Ms Bennett(Elizabeth) would have most defiantly keep the letters she had received from Mr Darcy. She would have savored every work wether she agreed with them or not. She would have analyzed the penmanship and tried to make out what kind of a gentleman he really was... I think she would have keep them with her when she traveled as well. She would have made a special box to keep them in fashioned out of some of the trimmings that she and her sisters would have had on hand to make bonnets and bows... I would like to think that the secret piece of lace was from a dress that she might have been wearing and maybe even been noticed in my Mr Darcy... My sweetheart and I also agreed after her visit to Pemberly that she would have kept this picture in her keepsake box as well. She would have had to draw her picture but we will share one of our favorites from our trip to Pemberly... My Sweetie also quoted "And to think... Of all this I might have been mistress"

p.s. If you haven't guessed yet.. My Sweetheart and I BOTH love all things Jane Austen... Luck me...

OOOOOhhh the heart-ach these two cause.. I love every minute of it...

This last year when my grandfather passed we were able to have a few of my grandparents for keepsakes.. When I noticed these little Jane Austen era pictures I totally wanted them.. I remembered these as a little girl. My Maternal grandmother had made them for my paternal grandmother... What a sweet connection I can now think of them both as I look at these pictures and share my love of Pride and Prejudice...

Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #98 - Dead Poet's Society

What a great movie full of legendary quotes... "Captain my Captain" and [quoting Henry David Thoreau] "I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life." and so on.. You can check out sooo many great quotes here that you can use for your inspiration.. My card is full of inspiration from this movie.. I started with the color scheme and used a more masculine one since the school is an all boys school. I used a script background to represent the words of poetry from Mr. Keating's (Robin Williams) class.

The sentiment reflects all the changes and new knowledge that all the boys are experiencing. The stripped D.S.P. even made me think of a mans shirt. Then the finishing piece of inspiration on my card is the felted wool butter fly.. The butter fly represents the main character Neil (Robert Sean Leonard). Neil has alway done what his father and everyone else wants him to do. He finally finds the courage to see who he really is and take great joy in doing so... You could say it is a transformation of sorts but not without a price . Neil is a caterpillar that turns into a butterfly.. I also chose this piece of felted wool because it reminded me of a blazer that the boys might wear for their uniforms. Don't forget the corduroy button that you might find on a professor/teachers jacket. Sooo many great things you can find in this movie for inspiration.. I could make another card just about the play that Neil preforms in...

In the words of Neil: "For the first time in my whole life, I know what I wanna do! And for the first time, I'm gonna do it! Whether my father wants me to or not! Carpe diem! "

Card sketch inspiration by Julee.

I hope you have a great time creating a card for this challenge.

Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #83 ~ The Greatest Game Ever Played

This movie has so much power. It's a story about believing in yourself and not letting anyone take away who you are and what you have to offer. I don't even know if I have a favorite part there are lost of little moments that make this movie special. Francis is not encourage from his family to play golf his father tells him that Golf is not a way to provide the living you need, find a trade and provide a honest days wage. Francis (Shia LaBeouf) is told from a club gentleman, "You are a caddy. Golf is a Gentleman's game you are working class you will never play golf." He had to create any opportunity he could and prove that he was more of a gentleman than they were. The best part of the movie is that he NEVER gave up on his dream and proved he could beat anyone even a legend with the right opportunity. This is a GREAT family movie. It shows what hard work and passion can do if you just believe in yourself.

If only THIS Father had more time and money for Golf.... Ahhhh.

My poor sweetheart has had to look out onto a golf course from his office window for about 10 years of the last 15 and never even had the chance to golf on that course. He has worked for 2 different companies that have bordered that course ironically. He is just to crazy busy. Unfortunately Golf trips come very far and few for him.. On our Honeymoon we stayed at a resort that had a golf course so we decided to go to the driving range and hit a few balls.. I thought.... that look easy... Man was I SO WRONGE I felt ever hit of the ball throughout my whole body. I is truly a game you have to work at. We even decided to take a few golf lessons I didn't improve that much.. But we had fun doing it together. My boys enjoy going to the driving range with Dad to hit a few buckets. When My boys were younger they did a summer golf camp and really had a great time. I would love to say.... Take a day a month but time is precious and Golf is a ALL DAY event. He even had a change at a tournament last Friday for our eldest son's Fundraiser for Football and he just couldn't get his foursome together for the tournament intime. It's like the gods of golf are against him. One of these day sweetie you will get to have your Golf time :)

I found this perfect vintage Golf image from Grapic45.. LOVE Grapic45... and knew it was a perfect match for this movie and a "NOT" fussy Fathers Day Card for a Golf loving guy. Then the perfect inspiration starter ARGYLE. It's a golf must. I created the Argyle pattern paper by stamping the background with the Diamond pattern and drawing the thin lines to create the Argyle pattern.

I haven't played with my favorite girl Julee for quite a while so here is her challenge for the week. My layout inspiration for my Cinema challenge.

Join us and make your favorite FATHER a Swell card...

Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #75 ~ OKLAHOMA

"Oh What a Beautiful Mornin' "

For this weeks card I was was inspired by the first and second verse of the song:

"Oh What a Beautiful Mornin' "

Oh, what a BEAUTIFUL MORNIN'

Oh, what a BEAUTIFUL DAY!

I've got a beautiful feelin'

Everything's goin' my way.

There's a bright, golden haze on the meadow

There's a bright, golden haze on the meadow

The corn is as high as an elephant's eye

And it look like it's climbing clear up to the sky.

This movie always surprises me... Each time I watch this movie I am reminded by some of the greatest songs ever written.. You know those songs you grew up hearing your mother/grandmother singing. Maybe you were even luck to have grown up in the era of AMAZING musical wonder... I think I was meant to been born in a different era for music and dance.. But I defiantly don't want to be June Cleaver.. I have the most AMAZING husband that is very much a partner in all things... Plus I just can't see doing all the house work in heals.. I would be over 6 ft tall if I did.. LOL

Back to the movie... Shirly Jones is so adorable as Laurey. She has the most amazing waist line in yikes! She can sing and dance and really bring the character to life.. And Gordan McCray as Curly has the most Romantic voice... Swoon here <3>

This little romantic western musical is a hoot.. Laurey and Curly have to fight to keep there relationship strong and also help Ado Annie from running of with the new peddler that just came to town... And she just "Cain't say NO" This song is so whinny it will crack you up.. I remember a classmate audition for a musical singing this song.. We all had a giggle over the song at the time.. Then you have the typical scene where all the girls are up in the bedroom getting ready for the dance etc and stressing over if the guy is going to like them or not... All around this is just one of those wonderful family movie ALL can watch together and make great memories together..

Nothing like waiting until the night before :)

Abbie's Valentines for school class.

Abbie helped me soooo much until it just got way to late and I forced her to bed... Daddy helped my typing the sentiment and cutting it out.

Zach's valentines for school class.

Zach really wanted Rocket ships so dad came up with a cute saying and even made the words fit around the image.. Great thinking dad.

cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #62 "A Night at the Museum"

Join us HERE for this weeks challenge..

and you could win her.

This week I sat down to make my card and watch the movie for our new challenge and low and behold I found the movie case with no movie in it.... So unlike last week and ALL the inspiration elements I added I went with one theme... The Old West. It was the first thing that came to my mind.. when I was thinking about the old west a sheriff came to mind. I decided to make a mini sheriffs badge book mark. I also included a star brad from Stampin' Up that reminds me of a mini badge. This project was inspired my a book mark my dear friend Melanie Hoops gave me at the Stampin' Up convention... LOVE YOU MEL! I stamped words of inspiration on the twill tape to inspire me or a loved one when we open our book to read.

Don't forget to check out our new inspiration corner for idea starters.

Have fun and beware of what might come alive while you are creating your project especially if it's in the middle of the night like me!

Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #60 Chronicles of Narnia

My memories of this story go way back to 4th grade.. My teacher read this book out loud to the class. I was hooked.. I love the magical world and she was a great storyteller. When we had our book fair that year at school I snapped up another book "The Silver Chair". I was so excited to have another book from this series even if it was not the next book in the series. As I grew older I enjoyed learning more of the religious undertones that C.S. Lewis had intended.. I think of all the movies that have been made of this story I really enjoy this the most...

This was the photo that started my thought process. The final was the inside of the D.V. case that used the image of Lucy and the lamp post from.. I liked the darker image and feel it had.

Lucy is my favorite Daughter of Eve character.. She has such a sweet untouched incense about her.. I think the Beaver are my favorite creature in the movie.. They represent the every day people just like us all. They can inspire us to always strive to look for ways to help and serve others.

My sentiment and definition of Journey is really what Life is all about .. It's about the Journey and what we do and learn from it..

Come join us and play along this week on our Cinema Saturday challenge.. You can join us here for all the details..

Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #54- Finding Nemo

Come join us

HERE

For the challenge this week I decided to make a pixie stick holder.. The sugar reminds me of sand.. I love pixie sticks but sometimes you can feel a little like you have a mouth full of sand...

I got my inspiration from 4 places this week...

1st the movie of course.. 2nd color scheme.. 3rd the shape of the artwork on the packaging below, And 4th the pixie stick.. So it is possible to make a card for a movie challenge and incorporate multiple techniques and still have it still scream "Finding Nemo". I was really happy with the finished product.. What a great gift set I can now add to my birthday box... And I can be ready for a kids b-day...
