ACOT Message Board

Thanks for all your entries, love seeing your interpretations. Winner as selected by the Wheel of Names - GerriW. Will send your gift card shortly. 



Posting a couple days early because have a busy weekend and want to make sure I do this first. This challenge takes a bit of time to put together so while I have the time....

I seriously cannot believe it is already October...I think I say this every month but this year is flying by!!

We are in month 3 of our new challenge, this one will still involve a love of movies and those that make them. Those that lead us on a momentary escape from our daily life. The actors that make us laugh, cry, anger, and cheer.  Each month we will focus on the work of one actor/actress.  There will be three options each month. You may do each option or just one, your choice.  In the past you were permitted to "find" a movie, now you many ONLY use the options given here!!  They must be used EXACTLY AS IS!!!!

This challenge has a limit of 3 ENTRIES.  You may only do ONE from each category for a total of 3, For example- you cannot do two posters and one quote, you may only do one poster, one quote and one title to reach 3 entries.  Any questions - please ask!

This month we will be focusing on the amazing work of Kate Winslet, one of my very favorite actresses, if not my favorite!!. In my opinion, she is full of mad talent and so beautiful,  She has made so many movies that I absolutely love, many that are gripping, disturbing but she is so good in all of them.  I believe my favorite would probably be "Finding Neverland". The movie will make you cry buckets but she is so brilliant in it. Would really love to hear what your favorite is of hers. 

Option # 1 - Movie Poster Inspiration 
You may gather inspiration from ONE of the movie posters below.  It does not have to be exact obviously but I must be able to see the inspiration. Here are your options. Please state which poster you used in your post. 
          
                 

Option 2 - Movie Quotes
You may use one of these quotes either as your title or somewhere on the page. IT MUST BE USED EXACTLY AS IS!!! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PUT THE NAME OF THE MOVIE.

I used this one and the inspiration was the pics on top and bottom and then put my title work in the middle

Here's mine for option 3. I used the title "the Reader" for my 4yo DGD getting her first library card. (FYI - the title is at the lower right-hand corner).


The Reader

and here's mine for Option 1. I used the Contagion poster as inspiration putting my photos across the top and bottom and then having my large title and journaling in the center.

I'd climb that

I used Option 3 - 8. "I'll never let go." - Titanic
I placed it in the lower corner photo.


 

I used the Quills poster as kind of a sketch for this layout:
