July challenges

Hi lovely followers, here we are at July: we hope you are enjoying this summer.
We have two new challenges for you: each month here at Scrap it with a Song we give you a pop and a rock song as inspiration to create any kind of paper project (altered canvas, card, layout, ATC, art journal…) you choose !!!
You can use lyrics, title, theme or maybe the video to inspire you (here is a link to the challenge rules).
This is the first reveal of our brand new DT - you can see the announcement here, in case you missed it.

It is now time to reveal
JULY SONGS

Rock Song
Florence & The Machine - Never let me go

Pop song 

Adele - Love Song

Let' s see how the first half of the Design Team used these wonderful songs - we will have another DT reveal on 15th of each month so please come back to even more inspiration!

ROCK TEAM 

Tynke

This song, and especially the mood of it, does make me think about a dream where you're deep under water, but it is nice. I tried to show that feeling in an Art Journal page. 

Giorgia

I chose both songs this month and this is the reason why: they both were soundtrack in my wedding!
So it was so easy for me to work with "Never let me go": I scrapped a picture of my wedding and used it as title.
I love both songs so much - "Lovesong" was our first dance song :)


Sharon  http://sksgranny.blogspot.com/

The inspiration for the layout is from the title of the song.  My grandson is getting married this month and it seems to be the perfect title for this layout.  The song itself is kind of a dreamy song and I think this photo of them is dreamy too.

POP TEAM

Brittany

I got inspired by the lyrics of the song. The words express true love, no matter the distance and when you love someone it is a captured moment in time. Thats what i expressed in my layout above! I will have a video on my youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4X_Vo8EEkhRdtMHrqbYdow



Marie - Christine

I was inspired by the song tittle "Love Song". My son and my first dog were very friends. Love this cute photo. Much love together!!!!

                                                                            Astrid

I choose the lyric "deep down under" and use this photo of my son at the aquarium.

Join us in the fun this month :)

Link up your project until the end of July: since we are having some trouble with the link tool, please add the link HERE IN THE COMMENT SECTION!!
One random winner will win this prize RAK:

- cute fairy chipoxy stickers, Paper House chipoxy stickers, Molossi chipboard, a paper clip and stamps stickers (paper not included in prize) -


And wait, there is another change here: the Design Team will choose their favorite project and the winner will be our Guest Designer for a future challenge!

Please come back on 15th for the second half of our DT reveal

Our daughter has given us two beautiful grandchildren.  A boy age 19 and a girl age 10.  I scrap my family and our travels.  My family loves looking at my scrapbooks. I have been scrapping now for close to 20 years.  I usually scrap clean linear type layouts.  I have been trying to do more layering and using some mixed media products too.  I love music and was very interested in joining the team here at SIWAS.  Such an interesting perspective to scrap with ideas from songs whether it is lyrics or just the way the music makes you feel.  Anything can be used for inspiration and I hope it will improve my layouts and also help inspire others too. I am very honored to be chosen to work with the wonderful ladies on this team.

We all hope you  will like our works and will have fun playing with us.
Please come back tomorrow for the first reveal of the brand new DT and our challenges for July :)

Hello to all our dear readers!

As you can see in the previous post, we have a DT call for this amazing blog. There are some changes coming and that's why we’re having a little break this month. We don't have songs to inspire you, but we have some other things we want to share with you all...

First of all, we have a little sad news. Kristin, Anne and Annamaria decided that it’s time for some changes and they are leaving our SIWAS-family. Of course we are sad, but we understand their decision. Girls, we're gonna miss you all, thanks thanks thanks for all your hard work on the team, your great inspirations. We give you a big virtual grouphug and wish you all the best! And of course we hope to see you again some time here at SIWAS…

But not only these girls are leaving, our great administrator and engine of our team for the past few years says goodbye too. Melania, you were always the one who made everything looks perfect.  You were choaching us behind the scenes and arranged everything what’s related to the blog. You have found a wonderful candidate to continue this lovely blog, so you’re passing it on now. Thank you for all your time, inspiration and really sweet words and support. You build this team, and now we’ll continue that way! We also wish you all the best, and a big applause and grouphug for you! I think it is not needed to say we will miss you.. that’s obvious I think! But we also hope to see you here again sometime!

But now we have a little rest… and we need some new DT-members! Does that 'job' sounds great to you? Read our last post below (or click here) for the details, and we hope to welcome some of you in our DT!

But that’s not all for now… We also have something to win for all of our lovely followers! Because we are so happy that you’re following us, we made a little Candy this month. 

die cuts, metal embellisments, cork embellisments, doilies, stickers and pretty 6x6 papers plus a small surprise for the lucky winner !!!!

How can you win this Candy?
