Carnegie Deli '05 (SHCG "Movie Quotes" Challenge)

Give cheer Give a Cheer

This is my response to my challenge for Scrap Happenzz Critique Group to use a movie quote from The American Film Institute's Top 100 Movies Quotes in a LO's title or journaling (slight adaptation of the quote allowed so long as the quote's recognizable). Here's a link to that list: http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/Movies/06/22/film.moviequotes.list.ap/index.html This LO comes chronologically after my “Greg's Graduation” & “You Are My Hero” LOs; after DH's grad school grad, we all went to Carnegie Deli to eat. The FOOD at Carnegie Deli is ENORMOUS so we ended up taking pics of our dishes! So I used #7 from the list - "All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up," ("Sunset Blvd.," 1950).

Journaling: “NYC, 5/23/05 - After Greg's Graduation we enjoyed a group dinner at the delicious & famous Carnegie Deli – awesome trademark NYC dishes. It was great to celebrate Greg's achievement, it was amazing to be among family but a true star of this meal was the MOUTAINOUS FOOD! We were astonished at the HUGE portion sizes! Our dishes were downright photogenic & begged to have their pictures taken! So that's what we did! I can't wait to return to eat Carnegie's trademark blintzes & knishes… anything else would be overkill! :o)” Then I have a caption bubble for the food we had photographed, saying "We're ready for our close-up...!" There are also explanations by each photo-worthy dish saying what they were...“gargantuan knishes….,” “a Rubenesque reuben…,” & “triple-decker piled to the stars…”

Please note that the scan cuts off the right margin, where the rest of that right brad, the right edge of the red journaling matte & the whole other right margin is. The scan stitching of the halves is also imperfect...oh well...

We lived in the ‘burbs at that time so when DH graduated we took a few days off & stayed in NYC, making a holiday out of it, plus family members including my parents came in from out of town; it was a nice getaway. So the triple decker pic is a pocket, & the red flap pulls out, revealing another group pic w/ my parents & details on what DH & I did the next day in the city.

Because of the cinematic nature of the challenge, as well as the whole NYC/showbiz feel at Carnegie Deli (the interior walls are plastered w/ actor headshots of performers, unknown & famous alike) I tried to achieve a movie-esque type feel w/ the filmstrippy square pp on the top/bottom & the somewhat-clapboard-y journaling/title. It was fun! The stars & caption bubble were my adaptations of shapes from Word Art.

TFL! :o)
