One way to make grey cold wintery days more fun is to wear my warm kitchy socks ;-) and find time to scrap it ;-)
have a JOYful day!

This week at SP the challenge is to design a cover - of a CD, book, magazine. I went for the record as I thought it'd be most fun and freestyle. I chose a song by J.Mraz featuring J.Morrison which I really love and made this cover which hopefully expresses the feelings and moods behind the song.

You can listen to it here.

And here's the lyrics for you:


Calm down
Deep breaths
And get yourself dressed instead
Of running around
And pulling on your threads and
Breaking yourself up

If it's a broken part, replace it
If it's a broken arm then brace it
If it's a broken heart then face it

And hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
And everything will be fine

Hang on
Help is on the way
Stay strong
I'm doing everything

Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way

And everything
Everything will be fine
Everything

Are the details in the fabric
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling

Are the things that make you blow
Hell, no reason, go on and scream
If you're shocked it's just the fault
Of faulty manufacturing

Everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Everything

Hold your own
And know your name
And go your own way

Are the details in the fabric (Hold your own, know your name)
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling (Go your own way)

Are the details in the fabric (Hold your own, know your name)
Are the things that make you panic (Go your own way)
Is it Mother Nature's sewing machine

Are the things that make you blow (Hold your own, know your name)
Hell no reason go on and scream
If you’re shocked it's just the fault (Go your own way)
Of faulty manufacturing

Everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Hearts will hold

just for fun ;-)


Just a fun page I made with a photo I took of vintage shopping bag I got yesterday when I bought some clothes. There were those wonderful vitage drawings on it and one of them of this girl holding an apple - my immediate association when I saw it was with the well know English proverb "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" and I decided to scrap it ;-) for the love of vintage and apples ;-)

and another one which started with a Robyn's alpha card - I thought it'd be perfect to make a fun Valentine-like page using a photo I took of two paper hearts.

on the top of the world

Another new collab at DHD - this by Erica and Agnes on travelling theme. It's called En Route - you can see it here and here. 4 of us decorators played with this kit - you can see on our blog our creative outcomes and if you leave a comment there you can win it ;-)
And on my page - Mati "on the top of the world"( = a heap of sand covered with snow ). He pretended to be Norman Price climbing Pontypandy mountain ( you must watch Fireman Sam cartoon to know what I'm talking about ;-)
