Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge - #24 - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Welcome everyone to our 24th Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge!!! We hope you enjoy this movie selection: Charlie & the Chocolate Factory (or Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory). This is such a visually stunning movie (both of them) and there is just SO much inspiration to grab on to!!! This movie was made popular by the 1971 version with Gene Wilder and then again was redone in 2005 with Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka. Did you know that according to IMDb the " grand total of all the fake chocolate used on stage was 244,993.98 US gallons (927,403.1 litres)." during the filming of the 2005 movie? That is a lot of fake chocoalte!

The movie is based on a book by Roald Dahl. According to Wikipedia Dahl "got the idea he got for the story was "What if there was a factory that shipped out marvelous things... and there was a crazy guy running it all." Both movies are just full of visual magnificence - and of course a lot of chocolate!

We thought that we would celelbrate this movie by making the requirement this be to have Bright Colors in your cards!!! You can do a little or you can go all out - but just use bright colors somewhere!

Sankari's card based on the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

I saw the Gene Wilder version a long time ago and was excited for the Johnny Depp version because I adore/am in love/admire/ Johnny Depp - he has always been my biggest crush since I was 12.... sigh! (eyes go dreamy....) and when I saw the new version - I have to say that it was so different from the original that I wasn't sure about it - but the second time I saw it - all I could see was the genius of Tim Burton - he is just simply AMAZING!! He takes you into a whole other world of imagination - and the way the movie was shot - the colors - the chocolate!!! OMG!!!

I love the song Pure Imagination in the Gene Wilder song - you can watch it here. And so I thought I would go a little whimsy and create something kind of fun.... I stamped the sentiment "Sail into your imagination" inspired by this song... and all the quilling kind of represent all the candy and swirly patterns in the movie.

I love love love bright colors (as is the requirement for this week) - but wanted to keep it understated so I used a lot of white. For more details check out my blog (also you can see the card that my son made inspired by Willy Wonka :)

Hope you play along this week!!
Hugs to all,
Sankari :)

Brooke's Card~

When I went to Scrapbook USA this weekend I really wanted to find something new to play with that inspired me to create a card from this move. I loved this "Fancy Pants" rub on's" they are so lively and colorful they look like Fruit- roll-ups or life savors rolled out ready to like. I also loved the sentiment. I really love my sweetie pie and don't know what I would do with him. He is so much help and support to me I just wanted to give him a little sweet love note.  If you want to see my second card  jump over to my blog and have a look. 

Hugs and sugar kisses

Brooke
