Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #65 - Sleepless in Seattle

Welcome Everyone to our 65th Challenge and with Valentine's day just a week away, we thought we would help provide some romantic-love cinema for your creative inspiration - so this week we are featuring the love story: Sleepless in Seattle (seriously, how did you guys guess this? and Meg Ryan too?? your Friday sneak peek guesses are amazing!). This movie was nominated for two Oscars and since its release and is influenced by the brilliant 1957 movie: "An Affair to Remember" (starring Cary Grant/Deborah Karr) - which we did as a Cinema challenge last year (by the way - this movie is a MUST see!!). We thought we would keep the challenge requirement simple this week: just add a red heart (big, small, lots or little!). There are lots of themes in this movie: here are some themes, visual inspiration and color inspiration if you need a little mojo boost in creating your card:

Here is a link more about the story (**spoiler alert) and plot background

Brooke's project inspired by the movie~ Sleepless in Seattle.

I think you can tell where I get my inspiration for this scrapbook page/Valentine for my sweetie. The Heart from the Empire state building. The majority of my inspiration comes from the true love that Sam(Tom Hanks) has for the love of his life. And the touching way he shared his memories of her. It's also represent opening your heart to find new love and a healing heart:

I love when Annie(Meg Ryan) and Becky(Rosie O'Donnell's) characters get lost in the movie "An Affair to Remember" we become part of their oh's and ah's as they crying over hope hopes and dreams of romance in their own lives. The funny thing in this movie I can relate to it the code cracking that the adults have with problem solving.. Remember when the kids Jonah and Jessica were saying things like:

Jessica: H & G.

Sam: has a look like what?

Jessica ( giving a look like duh!):Hi and Goodbye.

I feel that same way with some of the texting lingo... I am pretty hip I like to think.. But come on the only teen I text is mine and he doesn't speak in code to me... LOL. Did I mention this is also one of my sweeties favorite movies...He said "The chemistry between Tom and Megan at the end of the move on top of the Empire State building is just amazing. It's hard to beat that". Is he adorable or what. (heart melter for sure and he is all mine)

Come visit me on my blog to see another little inspiration from the movie..

Thanks for stopping by. I hope to see you listed below so we can enjoy your projects.

Hugs!

Sankari's Card Inspired by the movie: Sleepless in Seattle:

I think one of my favorite parts of this movie is when Meg Ryan and Rosie O"Donnell are watching the beautiful movie: An Affair to Remember. If you haven't seen this movie - you MUST I love when they were quoting Deborah Carr - Oh! What an amazing movie (seriously - you will love this movie - it is so smart and witty, and romantic and brilliant!). It was hilarious when Rita Wilson was describing this movie to Tom Hanks character and she starts crying (I watched this with my MIL and we were both crying at the end... sigh, sob!) and then I love it because Tom and Bill Pullman's character describe the Dirty Dozen movie in the same way! LOL! I love when Meg Ryan writes that she will meet him on the top of the Empire State Building just like Deborah Karr did with Cary Grant -- so that was my inspiration for the movie -

that and the elevator doors at the Empire State Building: here is my attempt to take a picture of my inspiration pic from the movie (as I am watching it!! lollol!!)

I love the way they talk about destiny and magic in this movie - and how the heart sparks in recognition when he meet your beloved :) So I created the sentiment: Love is Magical for my love card for my DH :)

I loved watching this movie (I think I have watched it over 30 times - but it always makes me smile and I adore the little boy Jonah - how cute is he -- sigh... Well, we hope that you will play along with us this week as we are all gearing up to create our Valentine's day cards for our dear ones!!! Can't wait to see your lovely creations!!!

Big hugs!

Sankari :)

This week we are joined by the awesome Julia Herald - whose lovely card for the movie challenge Australia was our Audrey winner! This week she joins us as our Guest Designer!

Julia's Card Inspired by the movie: Sleepless in Seattle:

Sleepless in Seattle really is one of my favorite movies. I love how Annie tries to figure out if she truly loves Walter. I think it is so funny when her brother tells her that his wife told him that they either had to get married or break up! Her mother tells her that it was like Magic and when Sam explains how he touched his wifes hand to help her out of the car, it was like Magic! That is the inspiration for my card. I think when we meet the person that we are meant to be with, deep down, you know that this is the one. I can't say that when my husband touched my hand that it was Magic but I probably knew and I grew to love him deeply!

This isn't my usual romantic card. I created a fun card because this movie is fun along with being romantic! For the front of the card I printed the hands from the internet and colored them with Copic markers. I also printed the saying from the computer. The patterned paper is Teresa Collins. I ran the grey, pink, heart and cameo through different Cuttlebug folders. The cameos are from a stamp made by Stamps Happens, Inc. I colored them in with an embossing pen and embossed them with black embossing powder and cut them out.

For the inside of the card, the stamp is Queen Kat Designs. The red chipboard letters are Marcella attached to silver Prisma paper.

The rabbit is an old Easter die cut. The paper pieced hat, wand and flowers are my own design. I added punched stars and lips. I had a great time creating this card!

Thanks so much Julia for being our guest designer this week - your card is just awesome and the way they hold hands at the end of the movie is totally captured beautifully in your card!!!
