Another week for the Pop Gals over at Scrap it with a Song
This weeks song is True Blue by Madonna
Here is what I made of it!
I used a digikit from Daisy Trail called Valentines 2012
The photo was taken at my grandsons 4th birthday recently.
He shows me such affection and I think you can see it in this photograph.
I hope you enjoyed looking at my layout. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 painted the tree (but not to carfully) as I knew I was going to heat
emboss over the top it. I used La Blanche & Ranger Dylusions
stamps to add texture to the trunk and green part of the tree.
I used a Glitz transparancy as a frame and had yellow lace ribbon just peeking out of the back it.
Ranger Liquid Pearls was dotted on Maya Road blossoms.
Distressed edges of cardstock then rubbed gold paint dabber on edges, I also dabbed onto red alphas to distress.
I used the following products to put my layout together:
Bazzill Bling cardstock - White
Doilies (Lakeland I think)
Maya Road Sheer Collection - Blossoms - Black
Tanda Creative - Mini Birds Grab Bag/Tree
Clear embossing powder
American Crafts - Thickers - Delight - Red
Tsuikineko - Veramark Stamp Pad

Ranger - Liquid Pearls - Ruby Red
Adirondack - Acrylic Paint Dabber - Gold

scrapbook.
The third offering this month is Head over Heels by Tear for Fears.
I used the lyrics 'head over heels' and changed it to 'head over hills' as the photo is of my husband and myself on our first wild-camp on a hill called Yeavering Bell in Northumberland.
See what I created below
Head over Hills
I stamped (Ranger - Dylusions - Background Love - Swirls Stamp) onto bazzill basics cardstock with Versamark ink and used clear embossing powder then inked around the edges.
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

I thought I would share with you the facinator I made for Ladies Day at Newcastle Races.
I saw an article in Scrap 365 magazine which showed a facinator made with mainly card/paper.
I was inspired to make my own facinator and loved the idea that my facinator would be unique. I was up for the challenge.
I decided to make a facinator attached to a headband (as I am not that keen on on those comb thingys) plus I basically thought it might be easier.
The photo below is the 1st stage in process
Stage 1
I bought several bits and peices - feather pearls on wire etc and bound them together using ribbon with double sided sticky tape to.
Now Stage 2
When I had my dress taken up (as I am a mere 5ft) there was spare material over so I decided to cut strips of the material and wrapped these around the hairband.
This is it finished and below is a picture of my friend and I at Ladies Day.

Christmas is coming and we are scrapping the songs over at Scrap it with a Song
The weeks 'Pop Gals' challenge was to use the song -
“Step into Christmas” by Elton John
I used this photograph from last Christmas. You cannot see in the photograph but he is in one of those child carrriers that you put on your back - so he had a good vantage point.
I love this photo as you can see some snowflakes on his eyelashes.
For Evidence I used: Patchwork Pattern (stamp pattern to right of photo)
Frame (Felt brackets around husbands face)
For Testimony I used: Write an add for your home (in this case a camping pod rented for the weekend)
My journaling reads:
Cosy 1 room abode, perfect for the camper looking for more of a 'feel of home'. Doors open onto your own patio area, which leads out onto a meadow (or a lake) depending on the weather. Furry neighbours are a welcome addition at dinner time!!
Challenge #57 at Punky Scraps also looked fun, so I decided to take part in the too!
The challenge was to use all of the following:
1. make a layout using only stamps NO PP 2. cardboard
3. staples 4. flowers
5 different alphas 6. black and white photo
Iused the following products to put the layout together:
Bazzill Basics Paper in Salt Cardboard Acrylic paint American Crafts felt brackets & chipboard arrow Colour shades taken from a Dulux strip Tim Holtz distress inks in Worn Lipstick and Faded Jeans American Crafts Thickers (various) Hampton Art - Ditto Label Clear Stamps Smoochie Manoochie Clear Stamps (Flower) SMSDS1 Crayons Ink it up stamp pad - light blue Journalling spot clear stamp - unsure of make Staples MME Paper - Lost and Found 2 - Blush(small photo is matted onto this)

It's a Family theme for the Pop Gals over at Scrap it with a Song - This weeks song is Homeward Bound by Simon & Garfunkel
I used the lyrics 'I'm sittin' in the Railway Station' and changed them to We're Sitting in the Railway Station.
The photos were taken in Newcastle Central Station, UK which was the starting place of our trip to Scotland. We arrived in Fort William and then walked the 'Great Glen Way' which is 73 miles along the Caledonian Canal to Inverness. We stayed at hostels and a B&B along the way and treated ourselves to a few days in a hotel in Inverness at the finish.
In the spirit of the upcoming presidential election in the US, this week's song is "Freedom" by George Michael. I chose the lyrics 'when I was just a young boy'
This photo is off my son aged 15 when we were on holiday in Rhodes, Greece.
