Saturday Cinema Challenge

I am just LOVING these challenges. This week is Nightmare Before Christmas what a fun movie for a challenge. I went for a 5x7 card for this one so I would have lots of room to play. I used Bazzill paper, Tim Holtz stamps (swirls and lines on the tree) Clear embossing powder (it has a little black in it too that makes it silvery) I used my new dimensional pearls on the tree and Tim Holtz ink for some shading. Also misc. brads etc for the tree. The inside of the tree is 4 layers of UTEE with the swirl stamp pressed in it. Well here is the card:

Tracy your card is Genius!! I love that part of the movie where he is in a circle of trees in the forest for all the holidays and how he opens up the tree and goes into Christmas Land - your card totally captures that awesome moment (love the little tag from Sandy Claws - that totally made me crack up!!) Very very very cool!!!

I am sorry for not coming over sooner to comment - its been a rough week over here with my daughter being sick and then my son just got sick too - so its been quite full of fevers, throwup, crankiness and drama! But what a total pleasure to come over to your site!! Hope you are well Tracy! We are coming up to MN in Dec. hopefully if you are around - it would be great to meet!

Hope your weekend is going well!!
Best wishes,
Sankari :)

Tracy,
I am so embarassed! I thought I had left a comment on you blog. What a dork I am. It's been one of thoses weeks. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVED you card. You were so out there in the creative mojo. Hats of to you for thinking ourside the box on this challenge. I though about the Christmas aspect but never got back to it. I love all the texture and movement you have on the card. I just loved looking at all the details. The cute little candy canes. And when I realised that the Tree opened it was jaw dropping. You sealed the deal there baby. This card just made my day. Way to totally Rock the Challenge.. It's Audry-licious Baby!!!!

OK - I missed the last TWO! of these so I am taking no chances on what looks like another busy work week. SO here is my entry for Miracle on 34th Street. I know this line is not in the movie (and that the little girls name is Susan in the movie) but this is what I always think of when I watch this movie. The reference "Yes Virginia There is a Santa Claus comes from a child writing to the Sun Newpaper and the editor answering with the spirit of the season. The card uses Bazzil Paper and Ribbon I forget the patterned paper brand. The Santa stamp is from Oriental Trading and the Letters are Studio G wooden letters. This is colored in with a combination of Tim Holtz inks (with the SU blender pen), Koh-i-nor pencils with mineral spirits and liquid applique. Brads, floss and a decorative eyelet round it out.

In the mean time this is the card I made for my mom-in-law. my dad in law was a great guy. he and I used to have long chats. I will miss him - he died this morning unexpectedly from a heart attack - he was 80. (thanks Karen for the help with the brads)
