QUOTES & LYRICS CHALLENGE - HURT

 The challenge word this time is "HURT"

I found this song by the band NINE INCH NAILS.

It comes from their album THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL.

It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Song

and has also been sung by Johnny Cash and Leona Lewis.

Its a bit morbid for me and look what its done to my poor Doodly Bird.

QUOTES & LYRICS - CHANGE

The challenge this week is to find a quote or lyric containing the word "CHANGE".

I came up with this quote from the American actor and country music singer 

Jimmy Dean (born 1928).  He sang "Big Bad John".

" I can't always change the direction of the wind 

but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination"

I might be sailing in last but at least I'm here.

Thanks for looking.

Craft Barn Q & L Challenge number 7: Change & Truth

Phew! I didn't think I was going to get this done in time but I started and was finished in about an hour once I knew what I wanted to do.

The Craft Barn's latest words in the Q & L challenge are Change & Truth. We are to use one or both words in our work and use a Quote or a Lyric. I chose to use Truth and found a fab quote from Mahatma Gandhi.

My page is very simple. I used chalks through a doily stencil, sprayed over with cheap hairspray to fix it and then used my wee alphabet stamps to add my quote.

I'm a bit wonky with them, but it's still easy enough to read I think, lol. Finally I edged my page with some pink & some white lacy tape.
Thank you so much for coming to look, I truly appreciate your comments.

QUOTES & LYRICS CHALLENGE.........

 Find a Quote or Lyrics that include the word TRAVEL 

So here are the Doodly Birds back on the road again.  Not with Willie Nelson this time

but with PATSY CLINE.

"Oh, we ain't got a barrel of money

Maybe we're ragged & funny

But we'll travel along, singing a song

Side by side

I think these two must be a bit of a Bonnie & Clyde as they certainly have got a barrel of money on the back of their Doodlebug Frida.

Q & L Sixth Challenge: Flower(s) & Travel

The new words for the Quotes & Lyrics challenge at The Craft Barn this time are Flower(s) and Travel. We are to use one or both words in our work and link them to a quote or a lyric.

I found many excellent quotes and was almost spoiled for choice when I happened upon the song, San Francisco by Scott McKenzie. It was released in 1967 and to many, became the anthem of the 60's. It is a personal favourite of mine. I have a link to the song here if you're up for a bit of nostalgia

I used Neocolor 2s for the background, smooshing them about with baby wipes and then removing some of the colour through a Floral Lace stencil, with another wipe. I used an Andy Skinner stencil for the face, which I embossed with silver EP. 

The flowers are a mixture of peel-offs and hand drawn, all of which I cloured with watercolour pencils. 

I hope you have time to have a look at the art work others have created for this challenge by following the links here

Thanks for looking :o) *Hugs* Mo x

Q & L Fifth Challenge: Art & Road

The new words from The Craft Barn's's Quotes & Lyrics challenge are Art & Road. We are to use one or both words in our work and link them to a quote or a lyric. 
I chose 'Road' as my word - 'The road to success is always under construction' - Lily Tomlin. 

The daffodils were created with watercolour pencils using the very helpful tutorial from Lindsay, The Frugal Crafter's video. 
I hope you will have a look at what other people have created for this challenge by using the links found here Q & L Challenge - Art & Road
Thank you for looking *hugs* Mo 

QUOTES & LYRICS CHALLENGE ..... ROAD

The challenge is to find a quote or lyric with the word ROAD in it.

As you can see I have taken Willie Nelson's song 

ON THE ROAD AGAIN

I have drawn a picture of my little VW Beetle and the song is very appropriate as my husband Philip always sings it to me when he is on his way home from working away.

He has put his own twist to it though, I wonder if you know what it is.  The clue is in the picture.
