this is what i woke up to this morning. A white Narnia just for me.
You should know that i am the least bit crafty, which is half the reason i signed up for the handmade valentines day card swap i told you about here. And today was the perfect weather to work on it. i was thankful for a project.
i thought, i've got 5 to send out... what can i do similar but different for all 5 girls? and then it hit me... a theme.
I'm very much a cinema girl. I chose 5 films that expressed love to me. Classics of course (like Franco Zeffirelli's' Romeo & Juliet), but also Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Atonement. I picked out a quote from each film that stuck with me and wrote it on a piece of torn page from a romance novel.
Each card also has an envelope inside where i'll write a little letter.
I'm not a crafty girl, but i put a lot of heart into each one, so i hope they like them. Here's a few sneak peeks of each one:
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
inside: "Clementine: "Wish me a Happy Valentine's Day when you call. That'd be... nice!"
Romeo & Juliet.
The Notebook.
(front/inside/back)
one girl who's name i got listed When Harry Met Sally as her favorites...
so that one was easy
Breakfast at Tiffany's.

That quote from "When Harry Met Sally" One of my favorite scenes in a movie ever.... You put so much thought in to all of these. xoxo
oh my gosh...i love these!!! how cute...what a neat idea!!!
They are AWESOME! :D
I watched When in Rome the other night, and I totally had you in mind. I told my BP that I MUST go there. I'd write to both of you from some fancy cafe. :)
That original Romeo & Juliet film.. I met the girl who played Juliet, Olivia Hussey, when I was in junior high. She came to meet all theater and choir students to talk about stage fright (I was in choir then). It was AWESOME. :D
I don't know how you can say you're not crafty when these came out GORGEOUS!
And I love all of these movies. :)
I'm sure whoever gets these will LOVE them!
Hugs. :)
Oh Mickey, I ADORE these! You did a wonderful job! Even though I don't really acknowledge V-Day, THESE cards make the holiday much less commercial and much more sentimental!
XOXO

you have such a talent. i am so jealous. those cards are beautiful.
I love your own personal Narnia. I can just imagine the lamp post and Mr Tumnus rushing by with his arms laden down with parcels...
I love how you made each card individual and special for its recipient. I have only just begun working on mine, and if I hadn't felt so ill all evening might have worked on them some more. Tomorrow perhaps. Am off to bed now, to dream up some pretty creations...
Night-night!
