Happy Valentine's Day!

Good Morning everyone and happy Valentine's Day!  I hope all of you are enjoying it!

Today I am continuing my New Year's Resolution and found another challenge blog site:  

They have two challenges each month: on the 1st of the month they post a pop song and a rock song for us to use as inspiration to create any kind of paper or digital project.  Isn't that cool?  I chose their rock song:  Elle King's - Ex's and Oh's !!  I really like this song and loved the thought of using ex's and oh's on my layout.  

Here are my x's and o's:

As you can see above, I used the word beautiful here.  From there, I was inspired to complete my page:



I went on to use the lyrics from a favorite Carole King song from the 70's entitled "Beautiful."


 . . . and here is one more view of my complete page.  You can see the x's and o's in the bottom corner:


Thank you so much,  Scrap It With a Song, for inspiring me to create  my latest scrapbook page!  I loved using Ex's and Oh's as my inspiration!!

And Happy Valentine's Day to one and all.  HUGS!!!

I will end with some photos that I took of Katie and Anne last year: 




Thank you for visiting my blog!

  3. So, SO pretty, Sharon! I think I have that same background paper... Thanks for reminding me ;)! LOVE all the gold elements, and you sure know your way around those textures! I love the concept of this challenge blog, but I rarely have heard of the songs. I know they're right there, but sometimes, I have to develop a sort of relationship with a song first to be inspired by it. Does that make sense?

  13. Your layout is BEAUTIFUL. Really love how you have the pink background with the hearts and such a stunning photo. The Beautiful Chippy in gold is perfect. Carol King is one of my favourite artists from the 70's and I love that song , which is now going around in my head ! I think I will have to put her cd on
    Hope your week is a good one beautiful lady
