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.

Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #80 ~ Becoming Jane

Have I ever mentioned how much I LOVE All Things Jane Austen!!! When I sat down to make this card I wanted to add little elements from all her writings. Here are some of my little inspirations from the movie. When you received letters in Jane's time letters and envelops were closed with a SEAL. I used the letter "A" stamps to create my seal. In the Movie "Becoming Jane" Cassie gave Jane her PEARLS to help fund her escape with Tom Lefroy. Bouquets of flowers that are offered to her ladies in her books. Lace for all the amazing COSTUMES, Pattern paper for all the beautiful DRAPRIES and fabrics, In Jane's wedding scenes you will find doves. You can even find DOVES in appear in Mansfield park as an offering of Love. Birds were a status symbol in this time period. I added FABRIC LEAVES on this card to represent all the millinery work ladies of this time did to pass the time. I had so many things that I could add to represent Jane and her writings but I will just have to make more cards... Darn...

In the Movie "Becoming Jane" You find yourself hoping that she will marry.. But then have to remind yourself that she never will. I love this inside view into Jane's life. How she create all these different world that she was never apart of is just amazing... Jane had such a wonderful father who wanted nothing more that for her to be happy... Jane's Mother wanted her to find happiness as well. She just had a hard time showing it.. Jane and her sister Cassandra remained close there whole lives.. One thing you will come to admire about Jane through out this movie is here determination to be true to herself... Even if it's not fashionable....

HOW TO~

To create the seal I used a JUMBO brad. I applied Versamark ink to the brad then silver embossing powder and heat set and repeated 3 times. I then stamped the letter "A" on it.

Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #1

Welcome to "Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge"... After an amazing bond of friendship formed through card challenges Sankari and I have decided to share out love of cinema and card making with others.. We also had both been listing what movie we had watched while making our creations.. So Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge was born.. The major brain child was Sankari and I was so graciously was invited along for the creation of this amazing creative challenge.  I love and admire Sankari and hope you all get to know and love her though her amazing creations and thoughts. Please join us for our first creative show.... to View the cinema challenge click here.

Our first feature Presentation is: 

Pride and Prejudice 

by Jane Austin

for Challenge rules and movie mini clips please join us on the challenge blog .

What a great movie to watch don't you all agree... This is a timeless novel and movie... Don't we all own this in VHS and DVD even Blue Ray... I think I have all the versions even the Bollywood of course..... The best thing about this movie is that my Sweetie and I both love it... When it's been a while sense we have watched it he will say "we need to watch or show" and we both know with out word being spoken what is meant... I love period pieces and really can't get enough... I basically crave them.. So I watch them over and over again... This makes it hard to read the book for me because Jane Austin movies are so true to character pretty much word for word... If it's been a while sense you have watch I hope you have a great time watching "Pride and Prejudice again....

I had to show this card with my wedgwood that I picked up in a antique shop along the "River Dart" in Devon county England.. What a great find.. I love the dark blue color...

The end of the movie is interpreted at the bottom of the card. Mr & Mrs... A double wedding... Hooray!!

In the movie "Becoming Jane" the question is posed. "Do all your ending have a happy ending? .. She replies  "Yes but only after having been miserable for a long period of time" or something like that.. you get the gist.. Unfortunately  Ms. Austin was not so lucky to have the same happy ending she so beautifully penned about..
