Higher Than The Heavens Above

Is the year flying faster than other years ? Or is it just me who thinks it is ? Well, it's definitely the 1st of the month again, so time for a new challenge at Scrap it with a song . This month it was my turn to chose the popsong, and my choice was; Mariah Carey and Emotions. 

When I have to create a page with a song, I always try to find a special lyric in it which catch my eye right away, and this was what happened with this song; Higher than the heavens above.  I thought this was so beautiful, specially when I found this photo. Let me tell you Pinterest is such an amazing site to search for beautiful photo's, I am totally addicted to it, well , I still do scrap my family photo's too :-) 

Because this month it was my turn to choose a song, it was also my turn to donate a prize, so go on and check the blog for more information and to see what prizes are being given away this month, remember you have a whole month to join. 

Hope to see you there !!

For my page I used a black background and sprayed white mist on it, the stars were made with silver pasta, I also used a mask on it behind the photo, I used a clock, which is to show that everyone of us just have an amount of time to make the most out of their lives. So live your life very well ! I also use some glitter, feathers and lace on it, the silver wings used to be earrings,.

Electric

Hey there, time for a the newest challenge at Scrap it with a song Scrap it with a song. This time our popsong is Can't stop the feeling from Justin Timberlake. I found the word Electric in it and it perfectly fit with this photo and my connection with the spirit world. Hope to get you inspired to play with us , using songs for your layouts is so inspirational. Just try it !

Can't wait to see what you create!

I used foam letters and white acrylic paint for the title. On the background I mixed inka gold with water, added some silver glitters and fabric. Punched some butterflies and added some chipboard gears, swirls and bling for the finishing touch.

Searching For Answers

Hello and Happy New Year to you all ! I have closed 2016 with mixed feelings. At the beginning of the year my stepson moved in with us from one day to another, so a big change already, In April  I've lost my teenage hero Prince, but on the other hand I discovered my spiritual ability and I have made some wonderful new friends which I am very thankful for.  I have some plans waiting for this new year, my biggest adventure this year will be my visit to the US, I'm going to do a sacred journey to Paisley Park, before I go there I will do an initiation regarding my spiritual discovering, besides that there are coming out three books that I really have been waiting for, first one will be from Mayte Garcia, she's Prince's first wife, the other book will be a photo book from Steve Parke who did many photoshoots with Prince and last but not least in Autumn Prince own autobiography will be released, very curious about that one because it's said that he only had started with the book and wrote only 50 pages so far, another thing I'm looking forward to is that Mayte is coming to Holland giving some bellydance classes, I'm really looking forward to join her class and meet her.  So head up for the new year, I cannot turn back time, however I would love to do so, keep looking forward to

So here's my page for Scrap it with a song. I went wild with my inks, paint and stamps on this one. This lyric popped out of the song to me, I'm still trying to search for answers from the spiritual world, it's beautiful, but I have so many questions, hope to find an answer to them all one day. 

Take a look at the work from the other dt girls, and I hope you will play along with our challenges during this new year. 

Many blessings to you all. 

I Had A Feeling

Hey there, first I want to tell you that I am doing great !!

 Just had to say that !

 So therefore I had so much fun creating this page. This is my december dt page for Scrap It With A Song. Our song for this month is; Fast Car by Jonas Blue (original by Tracy Chapman), I found the lyric "I had a feeling" in it and this tells so much about me.

 I recently found out that I have the gift to see, hear and feel spirits, besides that I am able to heal with my hands. Discovering all this made me very emotional, and happy at the same time because it is such a beautiful thing to know that life is not ended, but wil continue for eternity, It is an amzing thing to see and feel deceased people who you loved. I know for many people this will sound weird and creepy, but trust me, it is a wonderful experience that I'm currently go through and I'm still learning every day. 

Thank you so much for taking a peek at my page, don't forget to check the BLOG to see the other dt projects, we would love to see you play along with us !

Madhouse !

Hey there crafty people. It's October already, how did that happen ???? Well anyway, time for new songs to play with at Scrap it with a song, this time I worked with Rihanna's song "Madhouse", and because we're heading towards Halloween, this song was perfect for a Halloween photo.

I took this photo two years ago when I was at a Halloween party at the playground. I started spraying green and turqoise ink on my page. Added some fabric behind the photo. The trees were covered with turqoise Inka Gold. I choose for the title "Frightened" as you can find in the lyrics of the song.

So did I get you inspired ? Hop over the Blog , you have a whole month to join, we would love to see what you will create !

Blog Hop

Hi dear blogreaders,

You arrived from Maya's blog on here, so here's my page which was ofcourse inspired by my alltime hero Prince. I already have created many layouts all inspired by his music. For this bloghop I was inspired by the song : Sign o' the times.

                                                     Time, time
                                                      Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church
                                                      U turn on the telly and every other story
                                                      Is tellin' U somebody died.....................
                                                      Time, time........          
               

I used lots of sprays on it, love to work with them and it's always fun to mix them up and see what color it will turn out. I used orange, turqoise and pearl sprays on this one and added some water too. For the mask of the clock I used distress ink orange and turqoise. Finished my page with some chipboard, flowers, bling and stamps. Here are some close-ups:

We have some special prizes to win, one is donated by Avec les mains the other one by me :-)

Dance

Sharing my new page for Scrap it with a song Scrap it with a song today. I played with the song from Meghan Trainer; Better when I'm dancin

I found this photo which was taken at the circus some years ago, so I went with the dancing theme on a one wheel bike. 

Used some blue mists on it and mixed some mica powders with texture past on a stencil.

The chipboard industrial lamp was covered with inka gold turqoise

Finished with some "Dance" stamps

Come check the Scrap it with a song blog for more inspiration and play along with our songs for some wonderful prizes.

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  !!!

Distant Town

Hi there !! It's June already, so time for two new songs to play with at Scrap it with a song , this is my take on the pop song from Mika. I choose the lyric "distant town" from it, using this photo which was taken during our vacation in France. 

I first added some gesso to the page to make the flowers a little less bright, then added three pieces of washi tape and put the photo on that. Also painted a layer of gesso on the wooden fence to match it better with the paper. Finished the page with a flower and some pearls and gems. Hope you enjoy it and will come play along with us.  I'll leave you with some close-ups. 

Thanks for looking !

Life

Hi there, finally I did sleep a little better last night than the past two weeks. Still can't get over it that Prince is no longer with us............I cried so many tears, I was glad that before all that I already had created some pages, because I haven't create any other page after he died, did try today, but no, it didn't work yet.
Well here's my page I created for Scrap it with a song. Our current challenge is with a twist; ofcourse choose one of the two songs, create a page with a photo of yourself and using our moodboard.
Here are the songs;                                      Pop Song

"Best Day of my Life" by the American Authors

Rock Song

"So Am I" by Kensington. 

 

 And this is the moodboard you're gonna play with:

Here's my page, I used the word Life on it, and that is me as a baby. From the moodboard I used the flowers and feather. 

I did create a step by step tutorial as well and will put a link here to my youtube channel.

Thanks so much for looking and don't forget to check the SIWAS blog

Have a wonderful weekend !
