Hi everyone, it is Julene.
Our challenge for September is for a song containing the word WINTER or COLD.
I've chosen a Beatles song "Here comes the sun" and the line, "Its been a long and lonely winter".
Here is my layout featuring a record snowfall when we lived at Goulburn NSW. I took the toboggan to school and the children in my class played on it for hours.I've kept a winter colour scheme on my layout too.
So free choice for this month............it was so hard to pick a song when there are so many great ones out there.
I eventually went back a few (maybe more) years back to my teenage years and picked the song "Movin on up" by MPeople
I used a pic of my DD with her teacher in Grade 2 - she didnt want to leave and goto Grade 3 cause she loved her teacher so much and I remember saying to her 'Honey we all had to leave and move up to the next grade, I am sure you will get another nice teacher' - cute isnt it?
Well free choice for this month...wow...does put a wee bit of pressure on, so many pics, so many songs, ooh what to chose? Sooo I decided that I wanted to scrap this pic of my gorgeous friend Kim, which was taken in Roma Street Parklands, Brisbane on the June long weekend (this year). We were there for, as all you scrappy peeps would know, the Scrapbooking Expo. I really love how this pic can say so much without even seeing her face and I wondered, at the moment of snapping the pic, what are you thinking, or are you just soaking up the beautiful ambience of where we were.
It seemed the most logical choice for this page was the following song, particularily the lines "Tell me the thoughts that surround you, I want to look inside your head".
Where do you go to my lovely - Peter Sarstedt.
So where do YOU go to my lovelies? Would love for you to show us.
Hard to believe we are nearly half way through the year !
This month at Scrap That Song it is free choice, So what ever song is inspiring you at the moment, or if there is a layout you are thinking about that relates to the words of a song for you, go right ahead and show us what you create.
I scrapped this photo of my Mum originally for the masters, but I have decided against entering , so I will use it for my layout for August . When I was scrapping this I was trying to think of a title for my layout. At the time I was listening to a Joan Baez vinyl and the song "Winds of the old days" came on and I had my title.
Tommy Leonetti was very popular in the late 1960s when I was in my teens.Even though this song may seem obscure to some,it holds a precious memory for me....you see I live in Sydney and the words are evocative to me.
Have fun completing a layout this month on Scrapthatsong. Julene
