I'm always doing these challenges at the last minute. I'm not too excited about my creation this week for the Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge. I created this a little too fast. The movie this week was "Mamma Mia!"
What a great movie! I didn't get to see it when it first came out. Thanks to my Sweetie for downloading it for me. I loved the scenery, the music, the story, and the actors. It takes place on a fictitious Greek island, but a lot of it was shot in Greece. I (along with one of my sisters)was lucky enough to take my parents to Greece and Turkey 9 years ago. One of my favorite places in the world is the island of Santorini. A lot of the shots in Mama Mia! reminded me of Santorini. I tripped and scraped my knee pretty badly while we were walking around on the island so I tell friends that I left my knee on Santorini. Ouch!

My inspiration for this week's card was Santorini and the ABBA song "Money, Money, Money". My Sweetie has loved the music of Yanni since his "Live at the Acropolis" CD came out. He's always wanted to go to Athens (even though Yanni lives in the US). I had some leftover Greek Drachma from my trip, so I decided to incorporate it into the card. My pictures from Santorini must be in the garage, since I couldn't find them. I printed the "Money, Money, Money" sentiment from my computer.
