Brooke's Card inspired by the movie ~ UP

What a sweet movie this is.... When shy Carl meet spunky Ellie he had now idea how much his life would change... It became the adventure of a life time.... From the first pinning of the "Ellie badge" Carl was part of a life long friendship. In the end the encouraging words Ellie wrote to Carl in the her Adventure book help him to change his life and reach out to change a life of another...

When Carl Lost the Love of his life he just couldn't move on. Carl decided to take his WHOLE house with him.. Little did he know that the little 8 year old wilderness scout Russell was a stowaway. These to are quite the odd couple on this little adventure.. Russell drives Carl nuts just my being his 8 year old self. They find a few little companion along the way.. Kevin a mother bird becomes their mission. The gang is trying to help Kevin back to her baby birds when her hunter shows up and just another adventure begins... To find our how this movie end you will just have to watch it... It's just a sweet reminder of how much we need others in our life....

I love this house and all the Love that was experienced in it made it a home... So not had to see where I got my inspiration from.

Join me here to see more about my inspiration.. HERE

Sankari's Card Inspired by the movie "Up!"

I wasn't sure if my wee son (5 years old) could watch this movie when he got it as a bday gift since there were some things that might have scared him (like the pack of dogs and the chase scene at the end) - but surprisingly, when he loved every single second of it because of this spirit of adventure. He keeps asking me if we can get so many balloons and do that to our house! He LOVES the little boy Russell and he LOVE Carl the bird (he will try to squawk like him once in awhile :). When I was making the challenge banner for this movie - my son was sitting next to me and was so excited as to what card I was going to make - so I made this card for him - in the spirit of adventure

I love this sentiment by Dr. Seus! And I loved making this card with all the ballooons carrying the house, just like he wanted :)
Please check out my blog: for more details!
Can't wait to see your beautiful creations!!
Big hugs,
Sankari :)

Maureen's Card Inspired by the movie "Up!"

Wow!! What a fantastic movie {insert huge smile here!}. I actually got to watch this one and am so glad I did. It was out at my local video store, but my bonus son (my term for stepson!) had his own copy and dropped it off :) It was so delightful and sad at the same time...literally the only animated movie that ever made me cry!! This movie has everything!! The part where Russell tries to climb the rope up to the house had my dh in stitches....I've never seen him laugh so loud and deep....then he said he kept laughing because he was laughing so hard (does that make sense? LOL). I love how Carl changes in the movie and realizes what really matters in life....such a beautiful story :)

My card is all about that change and reaching one's dream. I felt this sentiment from Verve fit perfectly with the theme of the movie. I hope you all can play this week...and if you haven't seen the movie...you really need to...it will make you smile (and cry and laugh till it hurts!!). Thanks, Sankari and Brooke, for inviting me to join you this week. It's always an honour :)

Thank you so much Maureen for being our guest designer! What a beautiful balloon and that sentiment is just perfect to describe the theme of this movie! You can visit Maureen's beauitful blog for more details here: Buttons & Bling

Shaz's Card Inspired by the movie "Up!"

The movie up is about an old Man who wants to live out his dream of seeing South America's wildlife. He does this by attaching a Gazzilloin balloons to his house, UP, and away he goes!

I created this card with a gazzilion balloon and the quote " Adventure is out there!" from the movie. To choose the colors I used the bird Carl meets in South America as inspiration.

Thank you so much Shaz for being our guest designer! We love your bright and beautiful card and that sentiment is just perfect! To check out more details - check out Shaz's awesome blog: The Kraft Nook!

Carol's Card Inspired by the movie "Up!

While I think Pixar make good movies, the premise of this one had me a little dubious (it just didn’t sound as fun as toys or monsters), so I was pleasantly surprised when I did get to see UP! If you are ever around me and my girls you may hear random “Squirrel!” comments, heh heh heh. Anyway, when I found out what movie I would be designing for the basic idea for the card was in my head straight away.


I did struggle with the sentiment though… I had a few stamps that were appropriate for the movie (inspired by Ellie’s passion for life) but I just didn’t feel they were right for the card. I decided to print out the “Adventure is out there!” catch-phrase because it can bring together the idea of grand and simple adventures of life.

Thank you so much Carl for being our guest designer! That little boy is just so cute and has Russell's charm! What a great idea to do the sentiment in the cloud! You can visit Carol''s gorgeous blog for more details here:Inkantations & Incarnations for more details!
