On to happier things this week. The song this week is "Beautiful Sunday" at Scrapping the Music.
Photos from us putting in our garden on a beautiful Sunday. Elements from Hot Summer Days from {we are} storytellers, frame and background paper from Creashen's Old School at Cat Scrap and the famous Ali Edwards script was a freebie from her blog.
I hope you all have a beautiful Sunday!
Okay, this is not a happy song. And this is not a happy layout.
The song this week at scrapping the music is "because of you" by Kelly Clarkson. Despite the scrapping as therapy theme and the dark subject matter I had a lot of fun creating this layout: layering the words in the background paper, the layers of black and white, the old typeface.
With our CAMTS inspection over, I have Fenton Lake on my mind! Inspiration from several sources: challenge from the design experiment, sketch from pencil lines and butterfly fancy digital kit from {we are} storytellers. Photos are from last year's trip to Fenton Lake; I am looking forward to our upcoming trip next week.
This week's song at Scrapping the Music is "Our Town" by James Taylor. Love that song. Love the movie Cars. Love that I live so near Route 66. Just love it all.
So I was a little disappointed that I didn't have time to get some really great photographs for this layout... just a horrible time crunch with work this past month. So I used a different part of the lyrics and recorded my morning routine.
I'll have to catch up on that Route 66 layout at another time.
I love this time of year, when the garden is starting to grow and everything is declaring itself. I did a quick page with a sketch from pencil lines and that great Zen Garden kit from {we are} storytellers.
The challenge from the design experiment is to make a layout about what you need in your day to get through your day. Here is my take... it's pretty simple, really. Great accents from the Zen Garden kit at {we are} storytellers.
I did this layout from a sketch and digital template from pencil lines. First time for both, I must say. But it was quick, fun and helped me make a pretty layout in a lot less time than if I would have had to do all of the work. I'll probably be going back for more...
The song at Scrapping the Music this week is Free To Be Me by Francesca Battistelli. I hadn't heard the song prior to the challenge but it is fabulous! Check it out!!
One of my favorite songs, "These are Days" by 10,000 Maniacs is the song at Scrapping the Music this week. I just love this song, and struggled, not in finding inspiration, but narrowing it down! If you haven't heard the song, you'll LOVE it!
This week's song at Scrapping the Music is Son of Man, a Phil Collins song from a Disney movie. Hmm, I thought at first. Then I checked out the lyrics which are really cool and very inspiring. Perfect for Mother's day and the dreams and wishes we have for our children, be they boys or girls. I used a kit from {we are} storytellers:
