June video tutorial

Hello everybody, Aya here with a new video tutorial for you.

I am on the rock team, and our June song is Foo Fighters - Best Of You: I was inspired by images on song video and I created this mixed media canvas.
I used crocheted doilies and cute dolls to create a fairy garden:

Here it is the how-to video (it is in Arabic but you can easily follow it). Thanks for popping by today, I hope to have inspired you!

Remember to come back to the blog on June 23rd for a special post by our lovely Astrid!

June Mid Month Reveal

I know I say this every month but look how time flies!   I am into summer.  I love hot days and days that the sun shines for hours and hours.  Do you?  I know it is not summer for everyone.  So what is your favorite time of the year? This is what our challenge site is all about.  We are all so different and from so many parts of the world. Different times and different seasons, but one of the things we all have in common is music.  Granted we speak different languages and live in many different places, but music (the melodies) makes all of us stop and think about our good times, sad times, or just time in general.  Because music invokes feelings, it can help us in our scrapbook adventures as well.  So lets SCRAP!  Yes it can be any type of project either paper or digital  all are welcome.  It can be a layout, a card, really anything you choose.  Are you ready for the songs we have chosen for June?

Aya

I was inspired by the images on song's video. Please come back on 18 to discover how I made this project.

The Pop Girls

Melody

Staring at the Sun, by Mika was the pop song that inspired this layout. It is a life documentation of our wonderful Memorial Day weekend getaway to Ruidoso. While there, we made a day trip
on the motorcycles to nearby Cloudcroft...the sun in the mountains was so enjoyable!

Sharon

I used the title of the song as my inspiration.  It is summer in the sun.  I love sunshine and these pictures fit that totally.

Meet our June guest designer: Tone

It is time to meet our fabulous Guest Designer of the month!

Please help us welcome Tone!

"I am 47 years old and I live in Norway 20 minutes drive north of the capital. I live with my cohabiting Vidar and our son Daniel who are 16 years old. I also have a stepdaughter who is 30 years old.

I have always put photos in albums, but scrapping in the way I do today started in 2004. I love paper and I love to mix patterned paper and embellishment.

I am one of few that scrap chronologically and every picture I take (LO and Project Life). I cannot define my scrapping style….I like to believe that I scrap a lot of different styles. Many say, however, that they recognize my LO `s.

Inspiration I have to say that I get basically from net…both domestic and foreign.

My blog: www.tonesscrapperom.blogspot.com"

Tone made a wonderful layout inspired by our June rock song - discover both songs and our challenges of the month here.

This is what inspired her: "I use to look at the lyrics and see if something match with my photos or gives me a feeling that match with my photos. This time the title just gave me the title :)"

Thanks for joining us Tone, we love so much your project!

If you would love to be our Guest Designer in the future, all you have to do is to play along with our SIWAS challenges: just link your entry in the linky tool on top right of the blog!
The DT will choose their favorite project and the winner will be our GD for a future challenge. Thank you for your continued support and good luck.

Now lets see what the first half of the team has done as your inspiration.  

The Rock Girls

Tynke

I was hit by the lyrics this time, it pretty describes how I feel at the moment. I used a part of it on my LO with a picture of myself.

Giorgia

I had the chance to take part to a crop and attending a class of Paige Evans: she is my scrapbooking myth, I love her works so much! This is the LO created in her class, inspired by one of hers. This is me at my wedding with my parents. I was inspired by the lyrics "holdin' you" and by the video, in which there are hearts. 

The Pop Girls

Marie Christine

I was inspired by the tittle and I made an Art Journal page with gelatos, markers and collage. A big sun and an happy couple!!! Have a nice day with the sunshine!

Astrid

I was inspired by the lyric "distant town" , the photo was taken in a "distant town" , during our vacation in France. Hope you have fun joining our new challenge ! Good luck everyone
