Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #31 "Steel Magnolias"

If you look in the background you can see that I am still watching the movie... But my sweetie got to tired and went to bed.... I will have to finish it tomorrow.. This is one of his all time favorite movies... 

The last time I watched this movie I broke down like a little baby... Wish me luck this go-round...

What better than PINK to be the insperation for this movie... This is Shelby's signature color... When she was asked to tell what here wedding colors were.. She said " Blush and Bashful" Her mama said... "That means pink and pink the whole place is like Pepto Bismal"

If you want to get a glance of just how much pink she had here you go...

Youtube link to PINK wedding...

The best part is when her father yells "Here mother and I do" he has gone deaf form shooting birds out of the trees for the reception.(The birds on the card are to remember good old dad)

There are just to many funny parts to this movie so here is a list of some of my favorite this in the movie.

Little old Owen Jenkins is such a cute character in this movie... It's totally hilarious that he is in love with the town cranky pants. 

Anelle who can't decide if she is a saint or a sinner.

Drum and Oieser's relationship.

Armadillo cake

Mrs Merry Christmas who got de-throned and her brother who decided he was gay.

Southern charm...

Companionship of Women, loving and supporting each other through good times and bad.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO YOU ALL!

Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #30 "Mary Poppins"

Marry Poppins inspiration project come join us and create...

Inspiration Photo.

This week I couldn't resist making a rosette to honor Kelly Lunceford our guest designer. She is the queen of Rosettes.. I have to admit they are really addicting... I have make a few cards lately but haven't posted them yet...

Trivia:

• Won 5 Oscars. Another 12 wins & 12 nominations more here:

• The Sherman Brothers wrote over 30 songs during the various stages of the film's development.
• The "Step in Time" sequence had to be filmed twice because of a scratch on the film from the first take. The entire sequence took a week to film.
• Julie Andrews provided the whistling for the animatronic Robin during the song "A Spoonful of Sugar".
• Julie Andrews was determined to nail the lullaby "Stay Awake". She took nearly 50 takes (most reports suggest 47) in the Disney recording studio to create the perfect "soft" voice quality for the song. Dick Van Dyke, on the other hand, took only one take to record his verses as Mr. Dawes, Sr. on "Fidelity, Fiduciary Bank".
  

You have to jump over to I.M.D.B and read through all the great fact they have. I always lean so many cool things researching these films...

This movie is just dripping with cards and project ideas.. But this is the first image that came to mind. While I was searching for images to use for the sneak peek I came across this Silhouette image on a advert here if you want to copy it please do.. I really wanted to keep it simple just like Mary Poppins. I felt a simple color scheme would accomplish this. I found so many great quotes on the I.M.D.B website. I was thinking of using the quote "Mary Poppins...practically perfectly in every way" She reads this sentiment to the children when she is in the nursery and measuring everyone for their personality... BUT..... I had this sentiment come to the front of my mind and I can just imagine her saying this.... "If at first you DO succeed, try not to look ASTONISHMENT." This sentiment is from the Stampin' Up set: "Full of Life" this set has been so much fun to play with you have to check it our...

Here are a few of my favorite quotes I found from the movie:

• Supercallifragilisticexpialidocious!(of course)
• Mary Poppins: That's a pie crust promise. Easily made, easily broken.
• As I expected. "Mary Poppins, practically perfectly in every way."
• Joke:
  Bert: It reminds me of me brother. He got a nice cushy job at a watch factory.
  Uncle Albert: At a watch factory? What does he do?
  Bert: He stands about all day... and makes faces!
  Uncle Albert: [laughing hysterically] He makes faces in a watch factory!
  (my kids and DH are always trying to out do each other with jokes)
• Mary Poppins: In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun, and - SNAP - the job's a game! (IF ONLY it was that easy!)
  

I have so many ideas running through my head. throughout the week I might find a second or two to create more projects so check back.....Have a Supercallifragilisticexpialidocious! time creating... COME JOIN US OVER AT THE CINEMA SATURDAY CHALLENGE! WE LOVE MAKING NEW FRIENDS!!!!

Don't forget to check out Sankari and Kelly's blogs to see their amazing creations....

Cinema Saturday "To Catch A Thief"

Thanks A Million!

When a reformed jewel thief is suspected of returning to his former occupation, he must ferret out the real thief in order to prove his innocence.

Trivia:

• Won Oscar and 4 other nominations.
  
• John Robie mentions that as a youth he was in a trapeze group that traveled around Europe. In real life, Cary Grant was in an acrobatic troupe that toured around Europe (and eventually came to America) when he was young.
  
• According to the script, the character John Robie was 35. Cary Grant was 50 at the time of filming.
  
• On 14 September 1982, Grace Kelly was killed in an automobile accident in Monaco, supposedly on the very same road as her famous chase scene in this film and not far from where she had a picnic scene with Cary Grant. She was 52 years old and lost control of her car after apparently suffering a stroke while at the wheel.

What A classic.. I haven't seen this movie in ages. When I started viewing this movie I was trying to think ahead.. In a few seconds it all came flooding back.. I felt like it was just yesterday sense I had seen this classic.. All it took was a single word. "CAT" and I had that 

A HA moment. Then I was thinking in my mind wildly about the whole story .. And who the CAT really was... You have to LOVE the two main player in this show. The Hunky Cary Grant and the beautiful Princess of Monaco Grace Kelly.. While I was watching this movie I was just in ahhhh of her beauty... 

My inspiration for this card came from the outfit Grace Kelly character "Frances Stevens" is wearing while on the drive along the French Rivera.

Card Stock~ Whisper White, Pretty in Pink

Ink~ Whisper White Craft, Pretty in Pink
