What Is This Feeling?

In our family music is a source of happiness!  Quite often silence is not heard in our house because music is being played on the iPod, or Scott playing Bass, or one of us belting out a song just because we feel like it at that moment.  

Lily is the singer in our family (I pretend sometimes).  She loves Broadway tunes and has an affinity for the musical "Wicked."  This past spring she performed "What Is This Feeling?" from "Wicked" with her girlfriend at A.D.A.M. They were pretty good for their first live performance together!

Due to the lighting at this venue getting a good picture was difficult, but I still wanted to document this event for Lily.  I focused on using a great color in the background to pull the viewer in. This is why I chose the kelly green dotted paper.  It is the backside of the new Golf paper (#1416) found in the "Sports and Activities" line.  Isn't it so bold and fun?

To create the hexagons, I cut the Dance paper (#1341) from "The Sport Is..." using my Sizzix 2" Hexagon die cut.  The pictures and hexagons are bordered with plain black cardstock to make them pop just a little bit.

I hope you find some time for a bit of music in your life today!

6-3-12 Playlist

Our daily life is full of music. Not a day goes by that the house isn't full of our favorite songs whether it be in our cars or in the house.  My husband, Scott, is even known to still play his favorite 80's records on the weekends.  This weekend I thought it would be fun to document what we were listening to that day. 

Scrappin' Sports & More has several lines that include music papers.  I pulled out two of the lines to work on this layout, "The Sport Is..."(#1346) and "Girls Rule" (#1404).  

The big curves with music notes is a SS&M Supersized Cardstock Sticker (#5569). I have been waiting for just the right project to use this!  I cut pieces of the sticker off (initially it was round) and mounted the cut pieces on black cardstock.  Doing this made them stand out on my page. 

What are you listening to today?  

They make beautiful music together...

The Concert Band is playing so beautifully this year...it actually brought tears to my eyes to hear them play in the Spring Concert.  I wish a scrapbook page could share that (the video on disc will go in my scrapbook, though) sound...but you'll have to take my word for it. 

The Sport Is Dance and Music papers also play beautifully with the the Girls Rule Music papers to make easy work of this layout.  I think that is what I like best about Scrappin Sports papers..they all just work so well together! Sort of like the Concert Band, beautiful music!!

She's Got Mad Skills

My Lily is a girl that sets her mind to doing all the things she loves and doing them well.  This layout is all about what she is loving right now; music, swimming, dance and soccer.  What do I love?  I love that "The Sport Is..." line has theme papers for all of Lily's loves making them perfect for creating a fun layout of my girl.

The ruffles are made from the back sides of the swimming, dance & soccer papers.  The bottle caps are made from SS&M stickers.  Believe it or not, the music note bottle cap is made from the negative part of the Music Super Size Cardstock Sticker.

Summer Concerts...

Can I just say that I am SICK of winter and ready for some summer weather?  Spring would actually be ok, but Summer is calling me!!!

For this 2 page layout, I wanted to showcase the concert we went to last summer.  This was the opening act for the Romantics (for all youu 80s music fans) and they totally ROCKED it!!  

The chipboard stars are wrapped in the same masking tape as the border.  I personally think the Scrappin Sports and more Music paper ROCKS and it totally helps that all the papers coordinate so well!!! 

So here's to Summer!  It's coming, right???
