Words & Paintery Challenge

Hi, when I finished this page, I came across this challenge at Words & Paintery  and thougth, hey let's give it a try

Here's the page I created. Still inspired by Prince's music, still after more than 30 years I love this man and his music. I started to read all song lyrics and I know now that if you really want to understand his life, you have to read those lyrics, because lot's of them have a message or are even autobiographic. It maybe sound strange that after 30 years I started listen more to the lyrics, but probably because I still am not able to accept his sudden death and I want to figure out if I can learn something from his songs. Yeah I know, I am a weirdo, lol. 

The song for this page "Rock 'n roll love affair" is from his last cd from 2015 and it's such a great song while driving in your car, turn the music volume on to LOUD and sing your lungs out with the lyrics. To me just a happy song, nothing autobiographic in this one, just one with a great rock'n roll beat. 

And like I always do with my Prince layouts, I put a few lyrics with it, so here you go; 

She believed in fairy tales and princes

He believed in jazz, rhythm and blues

And this thing called soul

He believed in rock and roll

Canvas Corp Brand Moodboard Challenge

Hey there, taking part for the second time in a moodboard challenge at Canvas Corp Brands. This time a beautiful beachy themed moodboard. I just bought some different types of mediums, sprays etc and tried to figure out how it works best. I had a blast working on this page.

On the photo my boy a few years ago at the lake. Using background pp from Kaisercraft, which I always love to work with. Some dylusion ink and distress ink sprays, and some leftover scraps and stickers, inka gold, stencils, well a lot of stuff I just found around my scrappingroom.

For a closer look, here are some close-up photo's

Hope you like it, hop over to the blog, there is some time left to join this challenge and win some wonderful goodies !!

Good luck, I got my fingers crossed !

Cool and America

Hi there, sharing two more Prince layouts with you today. This first one is "Cool" which is a song that Prince wrote, but he actually wrote it for The Time, altough he did performe this song himself as well sometimes. I feel in love with this song when I saw a concert from 2014 in Paris. Looking at that concert made me feel happy, he was still healthy then and danced like crazy, lol. Whenever I'm sad, I turn on this song and it always put a smile on my face. 

I worked with my new dylusion sprays on this page, love to explore how they work and mix together, bought lots of new mediums lately, so lots of exploring to do. 

"And it's all because of something 
That I didn't learn in school 
I'm just cool (Cool) 
Cool - Honey, baby can't U see?
Girl, I'm so cool (Cool)
Cool - Ain't nobody bad like me".............

My second page is the song "America" which is some kind of patriotic song. First I wanted to uploaded it for my American friends on July 4th, but because there were a lot of shooting incidents last week, I uploaded it the end of the week. Prince had many quotes, one of them is: It don't matter the color, we are all family............ and I am so agreed with that. He always fought for equal rights, it's so sad that lot of people still look one way. 

Using acrylic paint and distress ink on this page.

"America, America
God shed his grace on thee
America, America
Keep the children free..............."

Children

Hi there, it's summertime !!!!! Yeah, oh how I love summer, I love to open all doors and windows and sit outside getting some sun. School is almost out for summer, just one more week, and holiday is ahead !

At Scrap it with a song we have two new songs for you to play around with. 

Popsong; Lukas Graham- 7 years

Rock song; Radiohead - All I need

So hard to choose which one right ??? Well ofcourse I had to work with the popsong, because I'm one of the popgirls, lol. 

This is my son a few years ago with his "girlfriend" at that time. She is the only girl that every played at my house, usually I only see boys coming, lol.

I started with a red background and stamped some different stamps around it

The paper with the stars actually was a gift wrap, I liked it , so I decided to keep it in my stash, and voilá, I could use it on this page. First I crumpled it before adding it to the page. A piece of vellum with red glitter I place behind it. 

I used some amazing chipboard pieces from Creative Embellishments , a didn't color them, just leave them they way they are, it matched the rest of the page perfectly , at least I think, ;-)

Added to tags to the side with a little heart on it. 

Thank you so much for taking a peek, don't forget to join our challenge, it is so much fun, and if you have no time this month, don't worry next month we have two new songs for you !!

Happy weekend  !!!
