It's Oldie But Goodie day over on the Catch The Bug Challenge blog and our featured movie is White Christmas. I can hear it now ... where is the "white" in this White Christmas card? Patience little Grasshopper, I will explain. But first, for those who haven't read my other posts, let me explain what's going on this week.
It's that time of the year, the annual Christmas in July event over on in the Bugaboo store. In addition to being a weeklong event filled with inspiration and great challenges on the Catch The Bug Challenge Blog, there are prizes to be won and even new designs in the Bugaboo Stamp store.
Today's challenge features is my VERY favorite Christmas movie ... White Christmas. I have seen this movie so many times. It's just not the holiday season without it!
Jodie wanted us to use either photo as inspirationBoth photos are so beautiful and really capture the mood of the movie and Christmas .... so of course, I had to deviate a bit.
MY inspiration comes from the best part of the movie: the songs. Of course we all love the title song but many of the others are funny or sweet. I really do love ALL the songs: White Christmas, Snow, Gee I Wish I Was Back In The Army, and many more. One of my other favorites found in the movie is the song: "Sisters." (probably 'cause I have some) But I especially love it when Danny Kaye and Bing Crosby sing it while Vera-Ellen and Rosemary Clooney escape on the train. It is so silly!
The song that inspired my card comes nearly at the end of the movie, when things look bleakest for the General. He is going to lose his beloved Inn. Bing Crosby sings it to Rosemary Clooney. It's called "Count Your Blessings". He sings, "When I'm worried, And I can't sleep, I count my blessings instead of sheep and I fall asleep ..."
So there you have it ... my inspiration. It's longwinded and complicated but that kinda describes my personality in a nutshell!!
If you haven't heard the song, here is a link to it in YouTube:
