Cinema Saturdays!

Two of 'em, in fact! First, the current one! LOL!

The movie of the week was Emma, which I borrowed from the library a few months back. (the Gwyneth Paltrow one) I thought it was great! Its funny and light and quite enjoyable. And I'm a sucker for Jane Austen and sooo much 18th century in my movies anyway... haha!

Emma has the best of intentions in helping her friends, even if she 'misses', every time. She thinks she's very sweet, which is a lot of the humor of the movie. When I started browsing my supplies for something to capture Emma, I thought of something sweet, pale pink and airy. This is not exactly it... lol, but it does have a sweetness to it and uses pale colors... And this fabulous flowery paper has always seemed to have that 18th century feel, tho I'm not sure why.

I like the card a lot, but I'm not convinced its totally Emma. Oh well! The card also uses the OCC sketch this week, by Laurie Schmidlin, which was a lot more fun than it looked at first. It intimidated me! haha! Oh, and along with Emma they wanted dots so I have a few, plus the circles in the sketch.

This card is late but also inspired by the Cinema Challenges. Can you guess which one? My husband couldn't, based on my card, darnit. hee hee! Oh well, it worked for me!

It is Princess Bride, of course, one of my all-time favorites! As soon as I saw which movie, I wanted something pale blue, like Buttercup's princess dress, and swirly.......yeah I couldn't think of anything. Today while organizing my ridiculously-hoarded designer papers I came across this blue sheet and immediately realized that's what I wanted to use! But I also wanted a simple feel because she's a farm girl after all. So I picked some colors from the cd cover art I have (my hints to my husband were that "Its a movie we have on VHS and DVD. And the cd. And the book!")

The card only has two flaws- I really wanted a bow there, and now you all know why I don't do bows, and I scorched my paper while heat embossing!!! ACK!!! So sad.... I've never done *that* before.........
