Magical Musical Tour - Country

Another great musical challenge set for us to do. The Country Criteria: Kraft CS, fabric, sewing (hand OR machine -- NOT fake), habadashery (buttons, pins, tape, trims etc), wire, chipboard, stamping, inking, and rusting (inks, paints, pre-made embellies, or T!m's fab rust technique)

Magical Musical Tour - Tango

The Criteria: predominantly red and black, two photos (cos it takes two to tango), no journalling, 2 different kinds of embellies (as many of each as you wish), 2 word title and 2 techniques.
This was another difficult challenge. I used 2 photos from my son's 18th birthday party, 2 types of embellise - words & rub ons, 2 techniques - masking & inking.

Magical Musical Tour - Charleston

This was an extremely difficult subject to scrap. Many of the girls said how difficult it was but then what's the sense of an easy challenge. It took me quite a while to come up with an idea but I was really happy with the completed layout. I used the musical Chicago for my subject. The criteria for this challenge were - use fringing/tassels, sequins, a film strip and rich colours.
I cut the film strip using a sizzix die and glued som small photos into it, attached fringing to the bottom of the photo added red sparkly ricrac braid and star confetti. For the title I used the Cricut Cartridge Lyrical Letters to cut out the basic word. I then glued the letters onto white CS & cut around them. The difficult part was getting the sequins to stick on the black lettering. I also used my ticket from the show.

Magical Musical Tour - Punk

Another great challenge to get us thinking outside the box. A ripping good time was had by all who part-icipated as one of the criteria was ripping/tearing/distressing. These are not techniques that I usually use but I did have fun tearing. Such different criteria every time. I honestly don't know how the DT digs up all these different techniques. This time we had to use 'moody' colours, ripping and distressing, pins and/or staples, messy stitching and tartan. The photo is of my two sons when they both decided to blonde their hair. The younger (taller) of my boys often blondes his hair but my older boy has very dark hair and this definitely did not suit him.

Magical Musical Tour - Disney Tunes

And the musical adventure continues. Sorry I'm a bit late adding this one. For our Week 4 challenge we had to create an animation-inspired LO using the following criteria: cartoon/comicbook style, cutwork, layers, bright colours and doodling. The photos I used are of my Grandson having a great old chasing game at the park during one of our visits to Perth. I altered the photos using a comic action to give the effect of a comic book page.

Magical Musical Tour - Rock'n'Roll

Over at Artistic Document we are into the third week of our Magical Mystery Tour the theme of which is Rock'n'Roll.

This is my take on the challenge using photos taken at Williams on the historic Route 66 enroute to the Grand Canyon in September 2009.

For this challenge our LOs have to be inspired by the 1950s and good ol' rock and roll.
The criteria are:
* black with one colour but you can use as many shades of that colour as you wish
* small amounts of white are allowed if necessary
* brads
* retro font
* some plastic/vinyl embellies

The layout did not need to be 1950s style, or use 1950s photos.

Magical Musical Tour - CLASSICAL

Week 2 challenge for the Magical Musical Tour is Classical. For this challenge we had to use black & white/cream, music - sheet/stamp/mask, rubons, pearls and flourishes/chandeliers/damask.

Patterned Paper is by Anna Griffin
Pink Paislee Vintage Moon rubons
Stampendous Cling Rubber music stamp
Stampendous Jumbo Damask Rose Velvet Black

Magical Musical Tour - SALSA

The Magical Musical Tour has begun over at Artistic Document. The first challenge was 'the SALSA' The criteria were bright colours, paint, ruffled ribbon/paper and glitz. This is my take on the challenge.
I painted the chipboard letters then used Fire Cracker Red Glitter & Jewelled Gold Transparent embossing powder to give them some sparkle. The frangipani flowers (courtesy of Scrapbook Flair) were printed on card, cut out & then embossed with Jewelled Gold and a Kaiser Rhinestone placed in the centre. The Chippie tag was painted & decorated. I used yellow material to create the ruffle.
