Well - you have done it again! We were so impressed that you guys guessed Casablanca from those itty bitty sneak picks! You guys are really wonderful and its just an absolute joy to be part of the Friday sneak peek guessing game! If you missed the guessing game - you can read all the fun guesses and comments here and make sure to check out the sneak peek reveals post here!
Casablanca is a 3 time Oscar winning movie (including Oscar for Best Picture) and was released in 1942 and has since then become an iconoic classic. It has been rated as the # 1 most romantic American movie by the American Film Institute!!! It was also rated to have the #1 most romantic kiss between Ingrid Bergman and Humprey Bogart! Well - that's alot of romance wrapped into one movie!
For this movie pick - we wanted to do something a little different. This classic black and white movie - inspired us to create black and white toned cards. So, we would like to challenge you to create a card inspired by this movie, by romance - that is black & white toned and one other color tone of your choice!

Welcome to our first Cinema Saturday inspired color challenge (we were inspired to do this particularly for this movie).
We hope that this makes it easy for all of you to play along! If you haven't seen the movie - don't worry - we would still love for you to play along! Check out these sites for some inspiration:
The famous last scene: We'll Always Have Paris
You can read more about Casablanca here on Wikipedia - it has the movie plot, as well as fascinating details about the characters, writing and actors!
If you search through Youtube - there are many other Casablanca peeks - so please feel free to use that as an inspriation if you haven't seen the movie.
Brooke's Project: "As Time Goes By"
"As time goes by"....... It only gets better....
We will be celebrating our 18 anniversary this year..... Where did the time go...
Ok so when I check the post this morning my whole post was missing.... Sankari and I were both on the computer into the weeeeee... hours of this morning.... 2:33am my time and 3:33am her time.. I think the big mystery is we both posted at the same time... And some if it didn't get saved.... She could only see the part I erased... I did type up a very lovely message to my Sweetheart... And I was on a roll... I will post the re-created message again on my blog.. When I have time to remember all that I said.....
We hope this new format will help our friends out there who are having a hard time trying to find a starting place with our challenge... We are always looking for more participants. The coolest part of our challenge is we have all become great friends.....
Happy Weekend!
Hugs
Brooke
I love all the textures in this movie and loved the line that Rick says to Ilsa at the end of the movie: "We will always have Paris." (sidenote - Carol - I can't believe you had that in one of your last comments! whoa!)

LOL - I need to leave the guessing to the professionals - I can't believe they knew this!!! Sankari I LOVE your card, it is completely gorgeous!! And thanks for adding the color challenge, that will make it a bit easier to come up with something. :-)
I know Libby - I am just in awe of these professionals: Panini Grillers by day ;) and hard to stump professional sneak peek guessers by night! It was fun! Thanks for guessing last night Libby - I hope that you enjoy the color challenge addition for this week.
I also posted our challenge up at our group on Paper Craft Planet. If you click over HERE, here is another forum to talk more about all things cinematic, papercrafting and of course the skill for panini making :)
hope you all enjoy this week's movie pick :)
Oh, such a perfect pick near Valentine's Day! Brooke and Sankari, your creations are stunning and gorgeous as always! You girls are SO talented!
I will swing by the video store today so I can watch this one again. Can't wait to see all the eye candy we create this week!
yay! I was already thinking (because I was convinced by that last sneak that it was Casablanca) of doing black, white and one colour (possibly pink but I may change that now). Thankfully MIL has a large stash of movies, and I was able to work out obtaining this before she came to drop off the kids. Looking forward to seeing it in full.
Hey, that's THE ONE AND ONLY movie for an ophthalmologist, right?!? Of course I'll have to work on the eye theme! Great pick - thank you ladies, you're the greatest! Let's start!!
Brooke - I love that you did a layout for your sweetheart with this movie challenge!! IT is just beautiful!
I just want to apologize for inadvertandly erasing Brooke's post from the wee hours of this morning - talk about working in sync at all hours of the night... somehow - when i went to type... the whole thing was gone and i didn't even know till Brooke called! Soooo sorry Brooke!!! sending you big hugs!
I am really excited by the challenge this week - and hope that you all are inspired by it too!
Sending you all much love!
Sankari :)

Beautiful Friendship

Oh my I must admit, I had a tough go at this challenge. I loved the idea of doing black/white/grey/ & a colour, but for some reason my cards all looked liked sympathy cards ... I took a break & went back at it today & this is for my Valentine
Brooke, your Scrapbook page is AWESOME as is your Gorgeous card, Sankari. I so love this Creative Challenge & Thank you for all who participate & inspire! I love it! (guessing is a blast too LOL)

Hello! Great movie & challenge! My baby's been teething since Christmas, so no stamping for mommy! Well, I started back this week, but you see the time? Anyway, I missed these challenges!
Here's mine!
Funny, I made my card BEFORE I read all the directions, but at least I got most of the black & white +1 color concept...
