I have joined in with the Lyrics & Quotes Challenge over at www.thecraftbarn.co.uk
The aim is to create an image using the given challenge words.
The words must form part of either a song lyric or a quote. So here goes.
My first one is SMILE..... I chose the Nat King Cole song "Smile though your heart is breaking"
My second one is UP....... Do you remember the hit song
"Up, up and away in my beautiful balloon" by 5th Dimension.
For the challenge you can use whatever medium you like and any format.
It could be in the form of a book, tag, ATC etc., you choose.
I've started off in a sketchbook but I probably won't work directly onto the page each time, I will however put whatever I make into the book so that I've got a complete set.
Have a look at what other people are doing here
Welcome Lynn and well done on your first two samples. I'm glad you could join us.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing more of your work.

Thank you Izzy, it was my friend Mo Allan who got me at it after she sent me her alpha challenge book to look at. It's fantastic.
DeleteI'm so impressed that you used both words Lynn! Your pages are excellent! I really love the ideas you came up with and it's great to see a Doodly Bird back in the mix. I do remember both songs and they are both favourites of mine :D
ReplyDeleteI've done my Tag Tuesday tag, so now I can get on with this challenge too, but I know what I'm doing so no stress. Phew! Haha :D xx
Good to hear you on with it Mo xx
DeleteTerrific start with both of the words used-love the freshness of both pieces

Two fantastic pages and I remember both of those songs though not who sang the balloon one. I have one saying sorted out so far but cannot decide on how I 'm going to display them this year. hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteAwe...I can hear the lovely tones of Nat King Cole in my head now!!!! These are lovely! Thank you for finding us xxx
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely pages! I adore the combination red, white and blue so both of them are perfect! (even though the blue is missing on the first...) Great idea!
ReplyDelete2 great songs and a good start.
ReplyDeleteTwo fab pages and love the heart for both, yes I remember those songs too :)
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn - two great pages and I love that you have co-ordinated them so well. Fabulous balloon and your little bird has bags of character - great lettering too - got to work on my hand lettering this year (and my typing - I've had to correct four typos already! - make that five!) MMx
