Challenge #121 - Song Inspiration

Amanda here with your challenge for this week! One of my absolute favourite inspirations for scrapbooking is music. I am constantly jotting down song lyrics or titles to use on my projects. I am currently working on my wedding album and there are so many songs that are perfect for layouts! For this one I used lyrics from 'Wedding Vows' by Jamie Foxx - the photos are of us saying our vows.

Your challenge this week is to create a project that is inspired by a song whether it is the title, lyrics or the artist!

Julie

My inspiration is a phrase from a song - "Fly High, Fly Proud" from the song,

"Don't Cry Out Loud!" My favourite version is by Peter Allen.

It always reminds me that having a go and trying is what Life is all about.

The title reads "Boat on the water" (title of an old popular child's song), and the journaling is about a family walk on water with tiny boats for kids (We had the firemen boat and my sister's family the police's boat). My sons were looking for whales (it was a small lake... No whale !) and my second son (who was 20 monthes old) said his first sentence : "hidden whale" !


Lynne
I am posting a layout I did a while ago for two reasons.  I love this song, "You're Gonna Miss This" by Trace Atkins and it is one of my favorite layouts of my youngest through the years from age one until her 18th birthday.  The lyrics to the song's chorus is on the journaling.

Tammy
As a big country fan, I love Brad Paisley.  I created this little Father's Day card inspired by his song "Didn't Have to Be".

Show us how music inspires you to create!

Challenge 120 - Wedding

Hello everyone.  Lynne here.  This weeks' challenge is inspired by my daughter's upcoming May wedding. 

This layout was one done for my son & daughter-in-laws wedding album.  

I look forward to seeing what you all come up with.  

Amanda

Weddings and babies are my two favorite subjects to scrap! I am working on an album of my friend's wedding from May of 2010. They had a beautiful setting for their photos, making them really easy to work with!

Julie
I had the pleasure of making a card set for a couple celebrating their Golden Wedding Anniversary
recently. I made it large as I was not sure how many people were going to be signing it.
It delighted me that I received a happy message saying how delighted they were with my creation.

I don't have any wedding photos to scrapbook, so I made a wedding card : the sentiment reads "Love & happiness". Actually, I don't have any wedding party scheduled either, so I will offer this card to my husband for the Valentine's Day !

Highlights - Challenge #119

Thanks to everyone for participating this week. I loved seeing all those lovely bright colours. It brightened up my day. Highlights for this week include:

Anita

I love the turquoise and pink in this layout, and that flower is just gorgeous!!!

Janis

This is the cutest snail! I love the bright colours and the dimension on the snail's shell.

Leslie

What a unique idea!! There's definitely lots of colour here.

Lynn L

I really like the big blocks of colour above the photo. It adds a gorgeous pop of colour!

Thanks to everyone for participating. We had some really great submissions this week.

Challenge #119 - Lots of Colour

It's very grey and dreary right now in Southern Ontario (and many other parts of the world!) so I thought a good challenge for this week would be to do a project with lots of colour. Any colour will do, just lots of it!

Milena

This is a page that I completed some time ago but was missing photos and embellishments. I dove into my stash finished it off. I really needed to work with bright colours and photos full of fun and sunshine. 

Julie

My made over Art Pouch is going to make me happy every time I go to use it.

Luscious colour and arty affirmations.

There is a tutorial over on my Blog on how to get this look.

I was certainly in new territory with this!

 I decided to try something unexpected and I colored... my black and white photos.
I played with Photoshop to get this look, and I think it helps to tell the story :  this layout is about my son who only said "gue gue" when he was a baby, so we used to say that he was our little alien... He also loved to hid in any box, even the tiniest ones, so sometimes, he looked like an alien in his flying saucer !
The titles reads "This little boy comes from another planet".

Barb

I love working with colour. It really makes me happy! I especially love putting colour against a white background. It really makes everything pop.

What will you do to add  little colour to your life this week?

#118 - Sketch Challenge Highlight

Thanks to all who participated this last week. We had some wonderful projects submitted.

I chose this great layout by Sylvia to highlight. I love the softness of this and how she mimicked the banners in the top left corner.

 

Way to go, Sylvia. You really made this sketch your own. Don't forget to grab your badge from the side bar to display on your blog.
