Remember that you can make more than one project by choosing different songs: just make separate post and leave separate comment for all your entries. The more you enter, the more your name will be putten in the draw.

And now... My song for the bloghop! 

I was at a great festival here in the Netherlands this summer, with Lionel Richie as last perform. I never thought we would have so much fun, it was really Amazing!

Since there is one song by Lionel Richie in the list, I have chosen "Dancing on the ceiling" for the bloghop. And ofcourse I made a Lay Out of that really nice day...

I used some printables of Avec les Mains for this Layout. They have so many nice printables, I had trouble to choose! For this Lay Out I used a paper with blocs and one with music notes. But I had downloaded also nice 'wood' paper. I decided to make a card with that, it's really nice as basic. I used the line "We're gonna have a party" to get inspired for a invitation card of my son's 7th birthday next month:

And the nicest thing of printables: I can make all the other invintations just like this one! :)

Thank you for taking time to watch my creations. I hope this song, or one of the other songs and creations of our fab Design Team inspire you to make a beautiful creation yourself! The rules of SIWAS are written here.

Write a comment below if you want to win the voucher of Avec les Mains, and then quickly hop to Brittany! 

With love,

Tynke

SIWAS augustus: Beautiful Sunday van Daniël Boone

Hallo allemaal!

Bij Scrap it with a song is het weer tijd voor een nieuwe challenge. Deze maand hebben we weer 2 leuke liedjes: Beautiful Sunday van Daniel Boone en Call it what you want van New Kids on the Block. Als rockchick mocht ik aan de slag met het eerste liedje:

Ik heb er deze LO voor gemaakt, met een stuk van de tekst gestempeld er onder. Natuurlijk hopen we weer op veel inzendingen deze maand (ik ben sinds kort coördinator, vandaar de spam :p) dus kom gauw ook naar de andere voorbeelden kijken!

Challenge Scrap around the world

Hallo allemaal,

Scrap around the world heeft een dusdanig gaaf moodboard deze maand, daar moest ik nog een LO van maken! Ik ben dol op kleuren, bloemen en vlinders..

Hi everybody,

Scrap arond the world has such an awesome moodboard this month, I had to make a LO inspired by it! I love bright colors, flowers and butterflies...

Ik heb er deze vrolijke LO van gemaakt, met een foto gemaakt in onze vakantie:

I made this bright LO, with a picture of me during our last vacation:

Used materials:

• Modeling paste and masks
• Dylusions
• Maya gold
• Brusho 
• Gelato's
• Washi tape
• Stazon Ink and a flowerstamp
• Design paper: Lime twist MME
• Gauze
• Foam clay
• Fabric flowers and butterfly
• Metal wire and embellishments
• Dew drops
• Mini alphabet- Jilly Bean Soup

Dit was het eerst weer, ik vind het leuk als je laat weten wat je er van vindt! Tot snel!

This is it for now, I like it when you leave a comment! See you soon!

50% wit (white)

Bij Art Journey hebben ze een erg leuke uitdaging: Laat 50% van de kaart wit. Best wel een uitdaging als je wel van een kleurtje en geklieder houdt... Ondanks dat ik nog niet echt stempels van Art Journey heb voldoet het kaartje niet aan de eisen vrees ik, maar ik wilde hem toch wel even showen.. Dit is hem geworden:

I've noticed a very nice challenge at the blog of Art Journey: let 50 of you creation be white. That's pretty sure a challenge for me, I really love colours! I don't have stamps of Art Journey yet, so I don't fulfil at the rules to enter the challenge I think, but I still wanted to show my card:

De scrapmood begint terug te keren, dus hopelijk binnenkort meer! 

I'm a little bit in the scrapping mood again, so I hope to show more soon! 

SIWAS: Never let me go

Hallo allemaal,

Het is al een tijd geleden dat ik iets heb laten zien, de scrap-dip houdt nog even aan blijkbaar... Maar nu met de vakantie en hopelijk een boel nieuwe foto's in het verschiet hoop ik toch weer snel aan de scrap te gaan.
Ondertussen ging ook het DT werk voor Scrap it with a Song natuurlijk door. Het liedje van deze maand voor ons Rockchicks is 'Never let me go' van Florence and the Machines. Het liedje kwam op mij als een soort trance, een soort droom over, dus daar heb ik dan ook een Art Journal van gemaakt:


Hi everybody,

It's been a while since I've showed something, I'm totally not in the mood for months now.. But now, with vacation and I hope a lot of new photo's to scrap I hope I will be in the flow soon again.

Meanwhile the work for the DT of Scrap it with a Song is still going on ofcourse. The song for us Rockchiks this month is 'Never let me go by Florence and the Machines. When I heard the song it was a little bit like I was in trance, or dreaming. I mande an Art Journal of that:

Ik heb deze keer ook wat foto's van het proces gemaakt, omdat het bij Art Journalling voor mij ook om het experimenteren gaat:

I made also some pictures of the proces, because for me Art Journalling is also about the proces and the experiment:

Tot zover eerst maar weer, hopelijk to snel!

That's it for now, hope to see you soon again!

Geen songs deze maand voor Scrap it with a Song... Maar wel iets anders!

Nieuwsgierig? Klik dan snel door naar de blogpost....
