Cinema saturday Creative Challenge #35 "Some Like it Hot"

Come join us over a "Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge" and make a" HOT" card. The requirement this week is to use an element of Lace or Ruffles. We you have finished don't forget to share it with us on the CSCC blog. If you are linking to another blog don't forge to leave a comment...

A little card for the person I want to be loved by forever..

If you want to play along with this sketch you have to hurry over to Julee's Mojo blog.. This is a contest challenge this week so don't miss out...

My first inperation for this card was the music.. I searched on line for the sheet music and read through a few and choose my fav.... I then reduced to the size I wanted and had this great sketch come to mind.... I {Love} Julee's sketches.. I use to do mostly color challenges.. But if I have to choose one or the other due to time etc. I choose Julee...

I don't remember when I first saw this film. But who could forget Jack Lemon, Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe... I can see them dressed up as girls playing there instruments on the train with the all girl band... Then acting like best girlfriends with Sugar... Hillarious...

A favorite line is from the song.. "I Want to be Loved by You"
Sugar: [singing] I wanna be loved by you, just you, nobody else but you. I wanna be loved by you alo-o-one. Boop boop e doo.
(I always think of Betty Boob when I here this line.)

Favorite Quote from this movie:
Sugar: Story of my life. I always get the fuzzy end of the lollipop.

Saddest fact I found:
Marilyn Monroe was pregnant during the filming, as a result she looked considerably heavier. She had no known children and several miscarriages in her life. Due to her pregnancy, most of the publicity still photos were posed for by both 'Sandra Warner' (who had an uncredited role as one of the band members) and Monroe's frequent stand-in Evelyn Moriarty with Monroe's head superimposed later.

Funny Fact:
When Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon first put on the female make-up and costumes, they walked around the Goldwyn Studios lot to see if they could "pass" as women. Then they tried using mirrors in public ladies rooms to fix their makeup, and when none of the women using it complained, they knew they could be convincing as women. There is a scene on the train recreating this moment.

Cool Votes for this movie:
In 2007, the America Film Institute ranked this as the #22 Greatest Movie of All Time.

The movie's line "Well, nobody's perfect." was voted as the #48 movie quote by the American Film Institute (out of 100).

Voted #1 on the American Film Institute's list of 100 Funniest Movies.

Voted #14 on the AFI's List of 100 Greatest Movies.


Hope you enjoy the show..

Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #34 - Oceans 11

This movie is one of my DH's favorite's he looks forward to the new "Oceans" coming out each time.. I have to say I really enjoy them as well... There are a lot of pretty faces to look at in the "Oceans" movies... Another fact I learned while reading up on this movie... It's a re-make... Hello... What planet do I live on... Not sure how that slipped past me...  It is a "Rat Pack" movie.. I am SO going to get my hands on this flick... Here is a link to the original info on I.M.B.D.

What a COOL cast...

Cinema Saturday "Ever After"

First things first!!

HAPPY 8TH ANNIVERSARY

Sankari and Keith... You are both just amazing... What a great example of Love and Support and hard work you are to all who love you... thanks for sharing your love with us...

For this weeks challenge we added the requirement of flourish's.. I also new when we decided to present the movie "EVER AFTER" that I wanted to take my inspiration from Leonardo Da Vinci's Portrait: La Scapagliata.. I love the simple elegance of this portrait.. In the movie the portrait is recreated to reflect the face of Drew Barrymore. I also wanted to use a soft French Blue. For me I associate this color with old world France...
"La Scapagliata"

Portrait, Leonardo Da Vince and Daniella..

While researching a little about Leonardo Da Vinci I did read that he did serve as the Resident Artist to King Louie & King Francis of France. He also died in France at age 60.

"Ever After" is a great movie for Young Girls to watch.. I love that they made the character a strong woman who doesn't wait around for Prince Charming to come sweep her of her feet.. She is out there trying to make her way in the world and learning all she can about life...

If you can't find this movie at your local rental store.. Or Don't want to watch it on line I purchased it at Walmart for $5.00 3 weeks ago... What a Deal... It's a must have..

Some of my favorite this about this movie:
I have to say I just love any movie that is period piece. Whether it's true of not... I love how this movie open up with the Brothers Grim visiting with the Great.....Grand daughter of Danielle de Barbarac.. The first experiences most of us have with this story is of course the Disney version.. My was with my mother childhood Disney book version.. I treasured that book and looked at is all the time...
Besides adding my flourishes I new from the start I wanted to add a French Blue and the Portrait of "La Scapagliata" by Leonardo Da Vinci..(More detail on my blog)

I love the strength and fight that Danielle has... We all want to stand up for our selves and act the way she does in this movie but some times we lack the strength to do so..

Leonardo Da Vince is one of my favorite part of this movie. I love his Whit and encouragement he gives Danielle.

Leonardo da Vinci: I shall leave walking on water to the Son of God. Fortunately I tripped over an angel.
Leonardo da Vinci: I know that a life without love is no life at all

[after DaVinci opens a locked door by removing the pins from the hinges]
Louise: Why, that was pure genius!
Leonardo da Vinci: Yes, I shall go down in history as the man who opened a door!

Do you want some texture in you life?

I had a really great question come up today by one of my favorite friends/customer. She wanted to order the texture plates but with all the items listed was a little confused my all the empressor pads and embossing pads you have to order to dry emboss and didn't understand that you have to use them with a die-cut machine.. So here is the option I presented to her.

I first selected the pattern I wanted to use.. The plates are double sided.. I had a big area to cover so I used the Empressor Stylus( you can view it here) the tip of this stylus it large and makes a smother impression than the smaller wooden handled stylus's... I first made broad stokes to find the image then rubbed back and forth in small circles on the image to deepen the impression.

What a great way to add texture for a fraction of the cost...

You can view the Texture Plates in the current Stampin' Up "Idea book and catalog" page 203 or here on line.

Hope I have inspired you to add a little texture to you life.
