Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #47 - Forrest Gump

Good Morning Everyone!!! Its time for another  Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge Blog

where each Saturday we pick a movie from where we create a card from - and today is our 47th Cinema challenge!!! We are getting close to our 50th challenge complete with yummy blog candy and a special and wonderful designer! But first the movie this week is the 1994 Oscar winning movies: Forrest Gump! This movie won 6 Oscars (including: Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Director among othesrs and won 32 other awards! Amazing! The tagline for this movie is: the story of a lifetime - and what an beautiful story it is and such wonderful acting. If you haven't seen this movie yet - its a definite must! The sweet innocence of  Forrest in a time that is not so innocent is simply inspiring....! This week's challenge requirement is to use some brown in your creation - it could be brads, ribbons, cardstock, ink - anything brown (a lot or a little!)!!!

There were so many different cards I wanted to do - but finally I settled on making a card of the relationship between Jenny and Forrest. His steady love for her and absolute devotion to her from the very beginning to the end is simply heart warming - and also when she starts to really the see the person who he is and also when she realizes that she has to wrap up some threads in her life - well - that part always gets me teary (the part towards the very end of the movie.... sigh - I can't write more because I am getting teary eyed already). So for my card - I chose this dialogue between Jenny and Forrest:

Jenny: Why are you so god to me?

Forrest: You're my girl!

Jenny: (pause) I'll always be your girl.

I used the colors from this picture of Jenny:

And here is the card that I made using Julee's Mojo Monday Sketch #88 - 

Card Details:

Paper: green is handmade paper, BG DP, and from stash

Ink: Chocolate CHip from SU!

Stamps: Just Rite! and Verve Wishful Elegance flower

Accessories: rhinestones, ribbon from stash, circle cutter from CM, stickles.

I loved the process of watching this movie again and feeling like there were so many different kinds of cards that I wanted to make - but I really felt as soon as I heard those lines - I wanted to make that card :) 

Please check out the Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge Blog for more details and we can't wait to see what you create!!!

Big hugs!
