Exciting Unstampabelles' challenge - mixed media canvas

Hi there.

I was really excited to create this month's DT submission. I knew just what I wanted to do when I read the challenge.

Here it is.

July - Art and all that Jazz              

Whatever art you are into...music, painting, carving, writing, drawing, making stuff, the art of craft.........               

 TWIST: multi-media piece

What pops into your mind? I thought wall canvas immediately.

I already had a fun art deco canvas to start with that I bought at Kmart over a year ago.  

I visited New Orleans in September 2019. I spotted a Ciao Bella paper pack called Jazz Club last year so I had to buy it. It had the perfect background for this canvas.

I used Mod Podge - paper - to adhere it to the page and splattered 3 different ink colours over it all.

I picked a stock image of a saxophone from the internet and printed it on white cardstock. I also stamped some music sheets using onyx Versa ink.

I had some cute chipboard music notes which I've added, painted black. Had to add the word jazz using Thickers.

Lastly I added some ribbon that had music notes printed on it.

I had a lot of fun creating this and it was a really easy project.

Head over to Unstampabelles to add your project. I can't wait to see your creations.

Bass Clef - Scrapbooking inspiration

Look at this fantastic challange that Archiscraps has for us this month.

Music is a favourite hobby of mine.

Here is the inspo pic:



Isn't it grand?

This is the Country Music hall of fame in Nashville.

As you can see it is in the shape of a bass clef.

Here is my layout. I am  certain you can see my inspiration from the photo quite clearly.  

What will you do? Get your entry started now.

Cheers,

Dale (Bass singer from Artistry Quartet and A Cappella West Chorus)

Are you surprised I didn't do a bass layout?  I am!

hahaha

Use flowers on your scrapbook page

I've created another music based page. Surprise! hahaha






May's inspiration over at ARTastic challenge blog is:


Reginald Earle Campbell - "Still life with daffodils"

The extra criteria is use flowers.

I thought it was quite a happy painting. Also, there is one single lady figure in it.

I had this photo of me at Chorus. Every week we celebrate whichever member's birthdays it is. This week it was just me so I had the whole Chorus sing to me in 4 part harmony. I loved it and it was very special. It made me very happy.

I tend not to use a lot of flowers on my layouts. When I do, I like little clusters.

I had just sorted a lot of my flower collection out. I put some into one of those plastic boxes that has lots of little sections. I colour coded them for ease. Made selecting them easier.

Have a go. I know a lot of you out there love using flowers on your projects.

Card with music notes

Here is a card I made for our singing coach.

I'm entering it in a new challenge (for me) at Allsorts, where the theme is music.

Keepsakes - Kaisercraft #3 June 2014 sketch

 KAISERCRAFT - SKETCH #3 - JUNE 2014

Welcome to today's blog post. If you're visiting me for the first time, welcome. If you like what you see, please become a follower. I'd love to have you visit again. I hope I can inspire you or brighten your day.

Today's post is for one of my favourite sketch challenges. Kaisercraft's week 3 sketch for June is a beauty (I have attached it below).

Take a look at the brick wall in my photo. What a perfect match it is for my favourite KC collection, Base Coat. In this case, the Bricks paper. Woohoo. Great start. I cut it down slightly, inked it in black and mounted it on KC khaki weave cardstock. I have done the same with all the patterned papers. I have also used a lot of my second favourite KC collection, Kaleidoscope. So perfect for my page theme.

Here is a little close up.

Thanks for visiting. Hope to see you again soon.

CSI Case File #116 - PT 50

The scene image this week pretty much depicts what my husband thinks about and owns except the guitars are missing. Therefore, I had to make a page about him.

Paul turned 50 last month and he desperately wanted a new piece of musical equipment. He already had a similar item but this one is better so he upgraded. He ordered it a bit late so it didn't arrive on his birthday, but 2 weeks later.

Evidence is met by:

• music elements
• metal (on brads)
• solid black background
• diagonal cross hatch pattern

Testimony:

• journal on several different journalling spots
• Be inspired by Memoirs (http://blog.memeoirs.com/2014/01/15-inspiring-quotes-about-music-from-famous-artists/). Links to the post I got the quote by Bono from.

This was my last week as a special agent at CSI. I've really enjoyed my time there. I do love the challenges they pose and wish to thank Debbi and Julene for giving me the opportunity.

Music scrapbook page for Archi-scraps

This is the building for us to take inspiration from this month. Pretty terrific hey? Got to love the Opera House in Sydney. 

.

Here is my layout, Ensemble.
I have used a piece of Sassafras Lass Anthem paper as it has the angles shooting in all directions like the Opera House. It also has music notes and piano keys on it. Perfect. I've added some music washi tape as well.

The photo shows my son playing viola in his Ensemble in a competition at his future School, Perth Modern in their beautiful auditorium.

I hope you can play along this month. There is a terrific prize on offer. Go over to Archi-scraps and check it out.

I Love Rick

It's true, anyone who knows me well knows that I love Rick Springfield.  I have created a layout about him for week 3 challenge in the Monopoly game at SBT50. I rolled a 1 this week which gave me this:



Absolutely no problem I thought.  My touch of colour is red. My hidden journalling is on a black and white tag behind the photo on the left.

Great photos, no? In case you might have picked up on the the fact that my photos are not taken from in the audience let me tell you, I had the special privilege of viewing the concert from the back side of the stage. At one point he turned around the gestured to me (and the other 2 girls I guess). Swoon.

'Deed I Do for mag Monday at Papercrafters

This year I joined a chorus called A Capella West. On 24 July 2013 they had a Christmas in July concert on chorus night. Quartets and small groups performed and afterwards we all ate and drank the goodies everyone brought along.
When these photos were taken I was still a prospective member. I had not sung in front of anyone yet. I was asked to perform a song I was learning for my audition in a small group. The top photo shows me doing that. It was a lot of fun. In the bottom photo is Josephine and I in the middle. Josephine was supposed to go up and perform 'Deed I do in the group. She dragged me up with her so I had to sing again. I didn't mind that. All good practice. I'm the one in the purple pants.

This layout was created for Week #26 magazine Monday challenge for Papercrafter's Corner.  There were 3 inspiration pieces. I chose the Rolling Stones music cover. Pretty interesting cover with Some Girls as the title. I immediately thought of my chorus singers. I've used 2 long photos with lots of ladies singing and listed their names underneath like the cover.



Update
My layout was a winner.
