Good Morning Everyone!!!!!

Welcome to our 50th Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge where this week's movie is the 1990 Oscar nominated movie Pretty Woman. And today we have a very special Guest Designer (drum roll please :) Gina K. from Gina K Designs! I can't even tell you HOW excited we were when Gina agreed to be our guest designer for our 50th movie challenge and I am telling you she is just the sweetest person ever! This week, Gina has picked our movie: Pretty Woman and the challenge that she has picked to go with it is paper piecing!!!

What inspires you when you watch the movie - is it the clothes, the music, the dialogue, the themes? Whatever it is that inspires you from this movie - we can't wait to see your take on it as you create a card - just add some paper piecing to it!!

This 50th challenge is pretty special as it all started as an idea last fall. And then I remember calling Brooke (who was one of my blog buddies that I met doing another challenge site :) and we totally connected over our love of movies :) So I am so thankful to have created this challenge site with one of my best friends (who I can't wait to meet someday!) and also for all of YOU for keeping us going and playing along. You have really become part of our Cinema family! We love guessing the Friday sneak peeks with you (and you guys are SOOO good!!! I don't know HOW you guess it from these small crops that Brooke does!!! That is why they are so small because you guys are SO good!! I remember that is why at one point we were cropping pictures of grass and clouds from the movies - and you guys would STILL guess the right movie!!! WOW!) We are so thankful for YOU! And also want to welcome all the new faces!!! Please join us this week as we celebrate 50 challenges!!!!! And there is some FANTASTIC BLOG CANDY that Gina is offering that you don't want to miss!!!!! (more on that towards the end!)

And we welcome Jackie Wilcox as our guest designer this week for her beautiful card from Challenge #48 movie: School of Rock! We are so grateful to have you on board!!! yay!!!

Brooke's Card Inspired by the Movie "Pretty Woman"

I have only seen this movie on t.v. and ages ago.. So when I read up on all the in's and out's of this movie on I.M.D.B. there were lots of comments about how it's was a modern version of Cinderella so I thought that the sentiment.. "You're the fairest of them all" sounded very princess-like even if it's a Snow White quote... I {HEART} the little lipstick and nail polish Adorable... hand to add them to the card..

When I think of this movie Julia Roberts's brown with white polka-dots comes straight to mind.. I remember how much everyone was a buzz about how great that dress was.. So when Gina told us she would love to have the technique be "paper Piecing" that juts straight to my mind.. If you want to see the card I made with my interoperation of that great dress you will have to come visit me on my blog... Let me know what you think...

A HUGE thanks to Gina for joining us this week. We have enjoyed chatting on the phone with you as we have prepared for this week. What a truly sweet person you really are.. So kind, generous and thoughtful. We are so proud to call you friend.

We have seen a TON of new faces that have joined us from Gina blog.. We would love to have you all join our weekly challenges and become part of our challenge family... We have really created some amazing friendships through our challenges and hope to share our joy of creating with others...

I hope you all have a GREAT time creating a card/project that is inspired and reflects the movie "Pretty Woman".

p.s. Don't forget to go back to the sneak Peek post and see the un-cropped pictures... :)

Sankari's Card inspired by the movie: Pretty Woman:

I love this movie (isn't Roy Orbison's song in your head RIGHT NOW??!!) And I especially LOVE Julia's smile and the way that she discovers who she really is, what she wants and how to make her dreams come true. I love the shopping scene where she and Richard Gere connect begin their falling in love-ness. I created a little Boutique, inspired by Rupa Shevde's stamp set for Gina K. called: Retro Boutique. I love this set full of all kinds of shopping yumminess that I wish were in my closet right now!!! I chose the sentiment : Celebrate in Style! to celebrate our 50th challenge and to celebrate following your dreams which is one of the themes from the movie!

For more information on this card and details. Please stop by my blog!

Thank you so much everyone for all your support during these 50 challenges and here's wishing many more challenges to come!!!

A huge thanks and big hugs to Gina for your support, encouragement and amazing generosity!!! Thank you so much!!!

Big hugs!

Sankari :)

Guest Designer: Gina K. of Gina K. Designs:

We are so excited to have Gina as our Guest Designer for our 50th Anniversary! Check out her beautiful card and her wonderful inspiration of her card:

"One of the things I really liked about the movie Pretty Woman was when the main character, played by Julia Roberts begins to realize that she is worth so much more than the profession she has chosen. As she dresses up in more elegant and respectable clothing and spends more time with the man who cares for the woman she is inside, she begins to respect herself more. And when that starts to happen, she becomes even more beautiful!"

You have to stop by Gina's blog to see more pics of this AMAZINGLy beautiful card and all the details on it!!!. Thank you so much Gina for helping us celebrate our 50th challenge!!!

Last week, we were wowed by Jackie's card Rock to the Music card that she made for challenge #48's movie School of Rock and as the Audrey Winner for the movie challenge, we are SOOO excited that this week, she joins us as our guest designer for Pretty Woman:

Guest Designer: Jackie's card inspired by the movie: Pretty Woman

I took my inspiration from the major changes in Vivian's and Edward's lives. Their meeting was a fluke...he was looking for Beverly Hills and she was looking for a "date". During the time they spent together, they helped each other look into themselves and make the changes necessary to have a happier life. The centerpiece of my card is two paper pieced butterflies, a true symbol of change.

For more details, please stop by Jackie's blog: Grammie Loves! Thank you so much Jackie for being one of our guest designers today! Your card is so beautiful and totally is a symbol of the change and beauty within us all!!!
