Three for One!


I created this card for three challenges.

Cinema Saturday Challenge#47-Forrest Gump
Allsorts Challenge #16-No stamped image
Our Creative Corner-Sketch Challenge

I tried to make this a child-like card because in the movie Forrest Gump, Forrest and Jenny became friends when they were kids. Forrest says " We went together like peas and carrots" My husband and I never could figure this out because we do eat peas and carrots together but we ususally throw in corn and lima beans and call it succotash!
Anyway I always say this but this is one of my favorite movies!
I didn't stamp on this card per the Allsorts Challenge. I used stickers and rubons. The heart paper is Reminisce and the ruled paper is Scenic Route. The fabric circle of the man and woman is cut from a cloth by Elsie. I used various stickers from my stash and the peas are rubons by Heidi Grace and the carrots are stickers by Provo Craft.
I used the great sketch on Our Creative Corner challenge blog. Thanks for stopping by!

    Hi again, Julia...maybe just email the directions. I don't see a little pencil on my comments, only a delete garbage can. I only have pencils on my own blog. Please advise if you can...thanks!

    Julia, you are just so good at these movie themed cards, I'm afraid it would take me forever to come up with an idea. I love this one especially for the childlike qualities. Nice job.

    This is great, I'll bet most of the entries centered around a box of chocolates, eh? Too cute, great job with no stamps involved!! Love the colours you've used also!!
