To start the week off, I'm looking at one of the nominations for Best Picture this year - the movie Up. If you didn't get a chance to see this movie, you really should. It is sweet and at parts sad, but has a really cute message. Quick synopsis - It's about a couple that meet when they are children and both share a love of adventure and exploring. They later marry and promise to go visit Paradise Falls when they save enough money. Unfortunately, Ellie (the wife) dies and they don't get to make the trip. Carl decides to try and make the trip himself by tying thousands of balloons to his house and floating away. And an adventure begins...

Remember, when finding inspiration from movies, you don't need (or want to be) too literal. Pick a few elements you love and work with those. My favorite element from Up are of course all the colorful balloons Carl uses to float away. I see a colorful + happy wedding. Love, balloons, travel + adventure, and colorful birds.
What other movies would you like to see me find inspiration from this week (they don't have to be from this year)?
