Photographic Friendship - Scrap it with a Song DT Pop Gals

It's February and they're in the mood for love over at Scrap It With a Song. They've got a whole month of romantic tunes to add to the playlist and spark some creativity in your scrapbook. 

This weeks song is Prince's - Purple Rain

Here is what I a made of it!

I have to admit I struggled with the song this week.  I found it hard to find lyrics that I could use.

I eventually decided to use the word 'Friendship' as used various photos of my gorgeous grandson which have been waiting to be scrapped and called it 'Photographic Friendship'.

I decided to go with a small lettered title as I generally use large alphas for my title

Close Ups

My grandson has had a relationship from the camera from the day he was born, mainly thanks to myself being 'enamoured' with him.  I have a whole host of photographs of him waiting to scrap because I cannot help taking snaps of him.

I also used a colour challenge for Color Stories Inspiration no: #60 - see details below

I used the following:

Evidence: Big Flower, Hearts, Layers, Add Icing (sparkly brad & sparkly houndstooth paper)

Testimony: Add hearts to your journaling spot

Products used:

Christmas Cheer - Colour Stories Inspiration #56

This is the second layout I have done for Colour Stories Inspiration #56

When I was selecting photos for the colour challenge I couldnt choose between the two so I scrapped the one of my grandson playing with my camera for the Scrap it with a Song design team challenge. Find it here

The photograph for my second layout I used is of my son and was taken when he was about 4.  I think the black and white photo really stands out against the colourful background.  He looks so sweet (shame they don't stay that way)

A closer view on some of the details:
I used my Cricut to cut these letter tags out.

I made a little envelope out of vellum

Evidence:  Dashed Lines, String, Dangle Something
Testimony: Translucent Story Holder

I used the following products for this layout:

MME - So Sophie - Anything for You - Reliable Red Paper

Windsor & Newton  - Gesso

Quick Quotes - Clips & Tags - Irresistable - Cherish Tag

Range Ink - Jet Black

Tsuikineko - Dew Drop - Brilliance Ink Pad - Pearlescent Sky Blue

Vellum

MME Tag Embellie - You have such a Boyish Charm'

Scrap Cardstock - for letter tags

Inspiration

It's funny when inspiration strikes you, normally when you arent looking for it. 

I just thought I'd share this with you.

We were watching TV, I am pretty sure it was the alibi channel and the adverts came in followed by programne promos. 

Then this image come up and I got my husband to pause it to take a photo of it.
As soon as I saw it I thought that would be cool to use on a layout.  

So I am going to use this idea soon and I will upload the result....so stay tuned.

Bye for now
