Pop Team: Payphone by Maroon 5


Let’s conclude this month with a beautiful but a little sad song chosen by our Pop Ladies Rania and Astrid Sorriso

Here the Lyrics






Anna



What inspired me was the line “Even the sun sets in paradise”, which I wrote on the bottom of my layout. I took this picture on holiday. Those days spent away have been amazing, it really was like being in paradise! ;) But  obviously (and unfortunately) every day came to an end, as the holiday did.



Karen
Inspired by the same line as Anna above- "even the sun sets in paradise"




Astrid

Great song !! I was inspired by the lyric; "you can go" and this photo was perfect for it, my son in a helicopter at our local amusement park, this is one of his favorite attractions and of course I used a digi stamp from KennyK ;-)



Deanne
I chose a line from the song "Where have the times gone?" as inspiration for my layout.
It's a pic of my family in the 80's (but I bet you could tell it was the 80's by looking at the big hair!!)
*I'm in the front with the lacy collar




I chose a lyric from the song, "Where have the times gone?", and used it
as the title for my layout. These are pictures of my son in 1996, at approximately
7-10 months, and now, in 2013, at 18. I used a digi from our sponsor, KennyK,
to help embellish my layout.
 


Xara
I got inspiration by the lyric "I am at a payphone trying to call home" , so I made a payphone and decorated it with speechbubbles with blessings for christmas , as if I was in the payphone calling my loved ones to wish them Merry Christmas ...for more close ups and details please visit my blog..


I wanna wish to all our American Friends and Followers a very happy Thanksgiving.
Let's be happy with what we have.

Rock Team: The Rain Song

How many times did I said I love Led Zeppelin?

This is one of my favorite songs…. Perfect to think, to let us inspire and create…Year 1973, album Houses of Holy…wonderful!!!

Lyrics 

Kristin 



I used part of the lyrics from the song ....But I know I love you so ....
This is a picture of my 15 year old son ...I love him with all my heart but sometimes he is a teenager and a handful!!!!

Check out my blog for close-ups:

JANE


I used the line "Upon us all a little rain must fall" - this is especially the case when on holiday in Fiji and torrential tropical thunderstorms are very much the norm.

Kicka


I used part of the lyrics from the song for the title :you are the sunlight.


TYNKE


I used the title of the song as title for my LO, and the line "Upon us all a little rain must fall" as subtitle. These pictures were taken by a festival in the Netherlands, called RTL celebrates summer. But it rained almost all the time.. But we laughed about it, and about our silly raincoats of course!

Melania


for this song i made an art journal page with the lyrics of the song. I love this song



LAURA



For this page I was inspired by a particular piece of the song ..
"These are the seasons of emotion
and like the winds they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion
I see the torch we all must hold.
This is the mystery of the quotient
Upon us all a little rain must fall."


MICAELA




My LO is inspired by the last verse "... upon us all a little rain must fall ..." and love for my kids! You can see in the puddle!

MONIA


I did not know personally this song and I was surprised by its beauty ...
a little card for a great feeling.....




Come and play with us!!!

Pop Team: Friends by Aura Dione

A very nice song chosen by Rania of Our Pop Ladies.
I loved this song immediately Sorriso
Lyrics














I got inspired by the whole song and the meaning about friendship. I created this card for a very dear friend of mine



                                                                       Astrid

It was a real challenge to me to use one of the wonderful stamps from KennyK , but I like how it turned out. I was inspired by the title of this song; Friends, therefore I used a photo of my son and one of his friends.
                                                   



The first line of the song says "free to be myself" so that's where I got the inspiration to do a card with the sentiment "Be Yourself"


I created this book journal for 2014 to keep track of what I read every month. What inspired me was the video of the song, the fact that the singer has a friend made out of shoes. So I did something about my material friends...books! The girl reading is a digi stamp by KennyK. Instead of colouring it, I decided to print it on fabric. Check out my blog for more close-ups!




I was inspired by the title and theme of the song. My best friend is my husband, David, so I created a layout capturing that.
I left my KennyK image mostly black & white, coloring it with a little bit of pink to match my top and the flowery accents on the layout. I kept the colors to a minimum because I felt coloring it too much would be distracting and take away from the overall layout. I balanced the pink and mostly black & white image w/ the title BG.



Karen
i was inspired by the line "share a raincoat in the wind"
the picture shows two of my children sharing an umbrella in the rain



Rania
 
About a year ago..something happened in my life and I felt that my whole world was distroyed! At that time my "friends" really helped me to stand on my feet... Since then...that song is one of my favorites...In this card I was inspired by  Kenny K digital stamp - don't you think that this girl  looks like Aura Dion? and the colours from the video...in the kitchen!

 Kristin


Here is my page from this song "November Rain" ...I used the song title as the title of my page ...we go on a couples trip with all our friends the first weekend of November and this last year we went to New Orleans ...we had a great time!!!
 Please check out all the close ups from this fun Echo Park Collection!!!
My blog:

These lyrics really spoke to me - I think we all need a little time away from it all sometimes!



     My page is inspired by a piece of the song.




I was inspired by the first line of the song: "When I look into your eyes". My son has really beautiful eyes, and I immediately thought about this picture... 


I also made a card, with a digistamp by KennyK. This digi reminds me of the great guitarsolo of Slash in the song, so thats why I used it for this card. I also used a line of the song for sentiment. 



Here is my card from this song "November Rain" 
For this card I was inspired by a particular piece of the song .. Although, to be honest, the more I listened to the song and most came from if the card!
I made this card with a digistamp by Kenny K.

MICAELA


I want to dedicate this LO to my sister, she has been a Guns N 'Roses's fan for twenty years!! I also adore them and this is one of my favorite songs!I used the Digistamp by Kenny K.  in perfect harmony with photos and song!
