LO: What I Like About You STM #94

I really love the song we do have this week at Scrapping The Music and as it is a song my husband loves too – it was pretty obvious what to do – LOL. The Romantics with “What I Like About You”.

Ich liebe diesen Song der Romantics “What I Like About You”, den wir diese Woche als Challengesong bei Scrapping the Music haben. Da es auch einer der Lieblingssongs meines Mannes ist – war es ziemlich einfach welches Thema mein Layout haben sollte- LOL.

*What I Like About You*

Supplies: Rose Moka Mec Paper, Ranger Colorwash, Acrylic Paints, Golden Gesso, Prima Pulse Paper, Rose Moka Letter Stickers, Tim Holtz Alpha Masks

Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Kann es kaum erwarten Eure Werke zu sehen!

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know I love this page. The colors and details are wonderful. Fabulous work!!! I was reading your comments on the CC DT call. Lucy called the other day to tell me who got the team. I often wish I were on a design team, but feel some what like you. My work is not main stream and I am not going to change because then it becomes work and a struggle for me. I hope eventually a company needs my talent. For now Somerset continues to pick up my work for their different publications.

CJ-Entry: I can fly

It took me a while to do the entry for Kerstin‘s Circle Journal – simply because this book is sooo amazing!!!! The theme of her book is to yarn a story/promise the moon – well…make up something. So…but finally I came up with something and I hope she likes it :)

Ich habe eine ganze Weile gebraucht, mich endlich an den Eintrag für Kerstins Circle Journal zu wagen – ganz einfach, weil ich das unglaublich tolle Buch nicht ruinieren wollte!!!! Das Thema ihre Buches ist “Das Blaue vom Himmel” – also etwas über sich zu erfinden. Endlich habe ich mir was einfallen lassen, ich hoffe es gefällt ihr.

*Ich kann fliegen/I can fly”

Journaling translated: When I was in elementary school I was able to fly! Really! Everytime I went out with our dog and reached the bridge I jumped into the air and did some swimming moves and …I flew a couple meters! One day I made the mistake to tell my friends on the school yard about my ability. They all laughed and asked me to fly right now. I started to doubt myself and of course it didn’t work anymore. Several months ago I met a woman. She looked at me and said ” I was able to fly when I was a kid”. I replied “Me too”. And we nodded knowingly at each other! I know if I do stop to doubt myself I will be able to fly again!

Supplies: Claudine Hellmuth’s Sticky Canvas, Acrylic Paints, Ranger’s Colorwash, Oil Pastels, Staz On, Tim Holtz Script Stamp, Newspaper Stamp, Neocolors II, Wooden Letter Stamps, Tim Holtz Grungeboard, Glimmer Mist, Tim Holtz Stencil Letters

Take a flight today :)

Super! Maybe you won’t believe me but I was able to fly as well but I ended up with a really big bump on my forehead while trying to fly from the stairs with my head right on to our front foor. That was the end of flying for me

The one about REJECTION

I got some mails and a comment about not making the Cosmo Cricket Team. Nice Mails- thank you girls. But to tell you the truth..it is not THAT bad. Yes…I do not well on rejection…and in the past, honestly I had shed some tears, questioned my self, questioned my work, questioned the people that picked the design team, questioned the bussiness- everything.

But I’m over it. I’m still sad when I’m not picked and it needs an hour to soak in, but I do know why. There are many reasons and one is that I stay true to myself and my style is just not what most manufacturers are looking for. I do not scrap a lot of children, I have often political or very personal statements in my work. My layouts are messy and contain a lot of paint and techniques that might drive away the attention from the actual product. I’m just not what they are looking for – and that is fine – because…I WANT to stay true to myself. You know…they miss out – LOL – not me, because I still get published, teach workshops with products and I still show quite a lot about the versatitilty of product (you can disagree of course- but this is my post- LOL). And at least…if I’m picked by the amazing manufacturer Rose Moka I know that they definetly like my work with all my rough edges.

It would have been nice if CC would have left a little comment on the thread just to let me know they saw the work and well…say they appreciate me trying, because at least me and a lot of others did some “nice” advertisment for free for their company, but hey…that little comment wouldn’t have made the world more beautiful or my life a quota better.

Because- even with that rejection… my life is good and beautiful. Life is not just paper and scissors and art can be a cure:)

Congratulations to the CC finalists – I wish you all luck!!!

For us you’re a scrapping hero! Forget CC, you have more talents to show than they could ever grasp! And you”re right, your style is so individual you would have to give up part of your personality if you changed it. But don’t, ever!!

I am upset that people wasted time in emailed you and commenting about you not making the team. Have they nothing better to do with their time? You are an amazing original artist and you don’t need a manufacturer to tell you that in order to realize how talented you are. And I am so thankful for that. Lots of love to you!

Ich denke es ist das wichtigste sich selbst treu zu bleiben,das stimmt! Und ob die “Treue” politischen Themen,Katzen+Hunde,Häuser oder eben seinen Kindern gilt ist jedem selbst überlassen!!
Und wenn es nicht in das Schema der SB-Firmen passt,dann ist das eben so,Ende!

Nat. I am not always a nice person and I think that I want to say a not nice thing: I think *most* (not all) scrapbooking is crap. It looks very, very much what a few friends of mine in graphic design and web design do as advertising.

The reason that I say “crap” is because art is not meant to be advertising, even if it advertising about how awesome your kids are. If the scrapbooking’s purpose IS advertising, then many people make lovely ads.

I LIKE your work and some others, in fact some others that have commented here. I like it because its intention is art not showing off product.

Yes, I am an art snob (music, literature…) but still.

I’m actually pretty disgusted that CC got all that FREE “advertising” …it’s just not cool, but that’s business. And art, should not be anyone’s business but your own! ;) The fact that they did not acknowledge those who made the effort is really disturbing. I don’t care how many entries they had, a thank-you card is just good manners! Hang in there…

Sometimes You Want To Go STM #93

We have a new fun challenge idea on our Scrapping the Music Blog going on. Each month the first song will be a TV-show theme song – and this month we start off with “Cheers”

Wir haben eine neue Challenge Idee auf unserem Scrapping The Music Blog. Die erste Challenge im Monat wird jeweils ein Song einer TV-Serie sein – und diesen Monat starten wir mit “Cheers“.

The line that inspired me was: “Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name” – it reminded me on all the fun photos I took in Amsterdam with sign that said NAT- which means “WET” in dutch.

Eine Songvers hat mich besonders inspiriert “Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name” – er hat mich an die witzigen Photos, die ich in Amsterdam geschossen habe, erinnert, auf denen NAT – also NASS stand.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Yesterday we went to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs concert (IndieRock-ArtPunk) here in Hamburg – part of my birthday present. So cool. It was totally my music- which might surprise some of you, and it was an awesome performance and I had a lot of fun. I love the Yeah Yeah Yeahs for some time now- have all of their three albums and I needed hard and loud music yesterday!

I did not take my Camera nor Flip with me so there is only this bad cell phone picture

And this is my favorite song by them…

DT Work: Hello Sunshine Kit Part III

And finally I show you my last two layouts I created with the Scraptastic July Kit.

Und nun noch die beiden letzten Layous, die ich mit dem Scraptastic Juli Kit erstellt habe.

*Wenn*

This is the son of a scrapbooking friend of mine. He is too cute and stated once that he wants to be the Pope when he is an adult. When he heard that this would mean he couldn’t have children he changed his mind ;)

Hello Sunshine Alpha Add-On
Hello Sunshine Kit
Sencha – Marrakech Collection by Basic Grey **Hello Sunshine Kit
My Mommy and Me Paper 870263 by Prima **Hello Sunshine Kit
Moonrakers – Vintage Moon Collection by Pink Paislee **Hello Sunshine Kit
Night Owl – Vintage Moon Collection by Pink Paislee **Hello Sunshine Kit

*Und Wenn*

And this is the other sun of my scrapbooking friend who had a cool TShirt stating he wants to be playing at St. Paul Soccer team when he is grown up -which is pretty funny- since he is in Bavaria …LOL -I guess that is an Insider German Joke ;

Hello Sunshine Kit
Almond Toffee – Bittersweet Collection by Basic Grey **Hello Sunshine Kit
Moonrakers – Vintage Moon Collection by Pink Paislee **Hello Sunshine Kit
Chocolate Pixie Stix by Pink Paislee

Ein neues Lied bei Scrapping the Music “Beautiful Sunday” von Daniel Boone – dieses Lied erinnert mich irgendwie an San Francisco – da habt Ihr den Salat – also ein doofes Bild von mir – LOL

Hi, hi, hi, beautiful Sunday
This is my beautiful day!
Birds are singing, you by my side
Let’s take a car and go for a ride
We’ll drive on and follow the sun
Makin’ Sunday go on and on

The photo was taken in SanFrancisco in 2000 – right before my friend Esther, Jim and I took the PickUp to go on a road trip down to Cousin Janelle in San Louis Obispo. So fun!

Great layout. I guess I have never heard that song before. Today did turn out to be a beautiful Sunday, however.

I like the new look and it seems that it will be easier to tell what color it is at a glance. Thanks for the 4th wishes!
