So, I’m pretty sure I’m past the deadline, but it’s Thursday here & here’s my go with Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #93, Annie.  Such fun songs in that musical & this was my favourite song of the movie.  It’s drawn up in illustrator using Clarendon Type.  Quick & simple & great for a friend who’s having a rough day.

Just had to have some quick fun with this challenge because, when I was about my DD’s age, Annie was the big musical.  Here is an ancient photo of in a ballet adaptation of Annie. LOL.  I love musicals!

I was checking out this week’s Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge, #91, and the movie was Gandhi.  Ben Kingsley, acting as Gandhi, was completely convincing.   I wasn’t sure what do to with this challenge, so I decided to focus only on the sentiment, to encourage serving & volunteering.

Sometimes the most difficult cards for me to do are the simplest cards, kwim?  I print out this sentiment, then just used a scoring board (my Martha Stewart one, which I find so easy to use), and this is what I came up with.  I think I might use it as an encouragement card for my DD, who has been helping me out with some non-paid chores around the house much more then her younger brothers.  I want her to know it doesn’t go unnoticed.

I went with a quick card for this week for the Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge, #87, The Holiday …

Here’s where the inspiration came from.  I’d link in the video here, but if you start watching the movie midway through, it ruins it.

here’s the inside of the trifold card …

The papers are from Stampin’ Up!, (ink Cameo Coral) as well as the Star Punches & the sentiment (Quick & Cute), the eyelettes are from Making Memories.

The Creative Challenge this week, Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge#83, had a bit of a Guy Feel to it & I always have difficulty with Guy/Boy cards, but I gave it a go.

The bag template is a Freebie from Adela & you can find it over at Paper Craft Planet’s 3D Tuesday Group!  Look at the bottom, under  Attachments & you’ll find the link to the AR-ZBoxBag.zip.

I do love repurposing stamps so I used the sentiment from a valentine stamp & coloured it with marker for the ’sent with love’.  The Golf T is a retired SU! stamps set called ‘Have a Ball’, the dsp is from Chatter Box Inc called Billiard Argyle (2 sided paper)

The tools I used to make the golf ball, besides the glossy white paper were …

Time for a challenge from The Cinema Saturday Creative Folks.  This week, #82 is the 2010 movie of Alice in Wonderland.  I really wanted to make a teapot for this one, but I can’t wrap my head around the template that I have in my brain.  I have a request into a friend who is a template making guru, so I’m hoping she can make it.  IN the mean time, I just made a VERY quick dress favour Box in illustrator & cut out on my small Cricut machine with the help of Sure Cuts a Lot Software.

Nothing fancy, but I think it would be cute for bridal showers or a little girls party.

For now, I just put in a bit of … what else … tea.

Here’s the template, if you want.  2 of my 3 kids think it looks more like a bear or mickey mouse ears, but they’re tough on me at times.  My middle son thought it definitely looked like a dress … Somebody’s getting a raise in their allowance

Time for a Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge.  This week, #81 is Ferris Bueller’s Day off.

I was playing around with the Cosmo Cricket Get Happy Paper Pack again & some fun in photoshop.  I also tried the imagininsce brad maker, but messed up a bit, but have some grace, it was my first try.

The type is called “Coolvetica” & it was just done up quick in CS3.  Just having some fun with fonts & colours & a line from the movie.

Time for Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge, #80, Becoming Jane.

I wasn’t sure what to make for this challenge, but I ended up with a wine tag.  Lots of impromptu parties this time of year & always good to have on hand.

Could you tell what it was??? It’s a Tuxedo Morning Coat (is that what you call it?), a period piece guy’s coat.

The ribbon is just gathered with a straight stitch.  Easy Peasy.

Here’s what I drew, which I actually roughly traced from a photo of Colin Firth from Pride & Prejudice.  Here’s my sketch:

Time for Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge, #76, North By Northwest.

Great movie.  We’ve seen it a few times, just one of those classic Hitchcock movies.  Cary Grant & Eva Marie Saint–aren’t they just the most cool fashion-stylin’ actors?  Just screaming vogue.  For my card, this is the snippit from the movie that I took my inspiration, specifically Eva Marie Saint’s shoes.

I am not a shoe person, really, I wear birk’s all summer long, but I did have a pair of these shoes for my high school prom.  Italian, spent $90 on them, on sale, over 20 years ago.  I loved them.  They were identical to Eva Marie’s.

Sure Cuts a Lot Software has been so much fun for me.  I drew up a shoe in illustrator, saved it as an SVG & then used SCAL Software to talk to my little Cricut machine.  It was cut out on white & then Versa marked & embossed in Black EP.  I suppose my card is more of a Cut Out, rather than a piercing; hopefully it’s still okay I played along.  I did have fun with it.  Here’s my card:

Before drawing up the shoe, I took a peek of what was already out there & here are some examples I looked at.  Hope you can find some inspiration with these shoe cards too:

Making Greeting Cards.com

Spikes Creativeside.com

Shirleys Cards

My Sheri Cards

The card is layered a little to give it depth & strength.  I think there are actually 5 layered cuts of the shoe.

The Pattered Papers is DSP from Stampin’ Up.  A Little Love SU Stamp Set was used in Riding Hood Red Ink & oval punches.

Thanks for the fun inspiration, Cinema folks!

Here’s the shoe I drew …

Oh yes, & here I am in the fancy prom dress & pearls my mum bought for me, earrings my cousin Cheryl gave me, updo salon hair, Brooke Shields eyebrows & my shoes that I oh so loved in 1990 …

Time for Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge!  This week, CSCC75 is Oklahoma!

Each week, I tell DH what the Cinema theme is.  This week, he immediately said, “Oklahoma!  and broke into SONG.  ”Chicks & Ducks & Geese better scurry, when I take you out in the Surrey … & fell into the entire tune.  Are you kidding me?  You have to know my 6′2″+ big football/hockey playing DH … it floored me, I mean I stood there with my mouth open staring.  I guess as a child he was in quite a few school productions, one of which was ‘Oklahoma’.

For those of you who don’t know, here’s the ‘Surrey’ song …

Well, I definitely had something to start with this challenge for inspiration, let me tell you.  I went with the clothes line & cowboy theme from the movie.

The little Gingham origami dress instructions (freebie) can be found here over at: origami-club.  I love orgiami dresses.  I’ve made them in 1950’s style before here.  Just too much fun.  The Patterned Paper is from Martha Stewart.  Great co-ordinating papers, that I punched with SU Scallop Punch.  The “hey girl” is an alphabet stamp from making Memories Magnetic Stamps, stamped in SU Bliss Blue Ink.  Mini Clothes pins … dollar store maybe?  not sure.

The boot template can be found from Ellen Hutson.  I used an old Stampin’ Up Punch for the decorative swirl.  I think it’s called ‘wroght iron’ corner punch.  The Papers are like a faux suede, flocked kinda thing I got from Heather’s Stamping Haven.

I adored the little boot.  It would be great for a treat holder for a little boy (well, in this case, it’s a bit more girly), but you could easily turn it into a boy party favour.  I used a SU double ribbon whole punch & threw on some ribbon.

Thanks for the fun!

Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge, #74, this week is UP!  I believe this was the first 3D movie we took all 3 of the kids.  Liam is pretty young, so I wasn’t sure how he was going to react with the bad glasses & things coming at ya, but he did well & loved “Doug” & the idea that you could get a house to fly if you attached enough Helium balloons.

We have some boy birthday parties coming up so I think this will go to Edward or Nathan probably.  Fairly plain on the outside:

I haven’t messed around with Pop Up cards in years, but thought this would be a good excuse to go at them again, since it reminded me of Liam’s first experience with 3D.

It’s a pretty simple Pop Up.  If you goole Pop Up you’ll find amazing and intricate examples from people like Robert Sabuda, PubliQue Living and Kirigami … love that stuff.  I think I want to try Robert’s Birthday Cake Pop Up next.  Here’s my simple Pop Up:

This little Stampin Up Stamp Set, All God’s Children, reminded me of Russell & Doug.

The b/ground sky blue is a felt/velour paper that I bought at Heathers Stamping Haven.  The little balloons is from a Small Marvy Uchida Punch I’ve had for years.  I have a thing for punches, since I am challenged with scissors.  A little white gel pen & upholstery thread for depth & bob’s yur uncle:

Pop Up cards can be very simple to make, just cutting straight lines, fun fractal example here, & scoring so that the folds are straight.  Then just stick on some details.

Of course, if you get side tracked by some incredible origami folks & their work like this dinosaur Pterodactyl. (Pattern) You might, like me try to make Kevin & then realize that it’s not working & abandon it, but if anyone wants to give it a go, I’d love to see it.  Here was my abandoned attempt.  I couldn’t get him to fold down, without a hugely bulky card.  I think it was Kevin’s googley eyes.
