The Outlawz Sunday Songs & Rhymes Challenge

 

The new challenge is to be inspired by this rhyme:

Oh, Lovely Ladybug by Lora Hollings

 Oh lovely ladybug,

take me to a place so fair

where I do not have a care...

 In a meadow where

a rainbow bridges earth and sky,

and hills that reach high-

 where there are bluebells and

cowslips everywhere.

In a dress like yours

that is red with black spots,

let me dance on flower tops; 

And sip tea

in a lovely lea

with the ladybug queen

who has never been seen.

Let me be light

as a feather

and give me wings

so I can take flight-

to a land of ladybugs

filled with much delight.

As we are sponsored by Wink Wink Ink,

my card features an image by the sponsor, that I coloured using alcohol markers


  I also used the following to create my card

white CS base

red CS mats

rainbow element cut from stationery packaging

gems

digital sentiment

The Outlawz Songs & Rhymes Challenge

 

The coming fortnight's challenge at The Outlawz Songs & Rhymes group is to be inspired by the song, 'Spring, Spring, Spring' from the movie version of the musical 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers':

Oh, the barnyard is busy in a regular tizzy,
And the obvious reason is because of the season
Ma Nature's lyrical, with her yearly miracle
Spring, Spring, Spring.
All the hen-folk are hatchin'
While their men-folk are scrathin'
To ensure the survival of each brand new arrival.
Each nest is twitterin',
They're all baby-sitterin',
Spring, Spring, Spring.
It's a beehive of buddin' son and daughter life,
Every family has plans in view.
Even down in the brook the underwater life
Is forever blowin' bubbles too.
Every field wears a bonnet
With some spring daisies on it,
Even birds of a feather show their clothes off together.
Sun's gettin' shinery, to spotlight the finery,
Spring, Spring, Spring.
From his eerie, the eagle with his eagle eye
Gazes down across his eagle beak
And a'fixin' his lady with the legal eye
Screams "suppose we fix the date this week!"
Yes, siree, spring disposes
That it's all one supposes
It's a real bed of roses
Waggin' tails, rubbin' noses.
Each day is Mother's Day
The next is some other's day
When love is King

My card features an image by the sponsor, Sherry West Art, and I coloured it with alcohol markers



I also used the following to create my card

white CS card base

black CS mat

sentiment created in MS Word

The Outlawz : Sunday Songs & Rhymes Challenge

 

The new Sunday Songs & Rhymes challenge at The Outlawz has just started and this is the little song to inspire you

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Perhaps it is little known that Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star actually consists of 5 verses, with the fifth verse rarely sung. Here’s the complete 5 verses, taken from the Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes (2nd edition, 1997), with the repetition of the first two lines added to fit the melody.


Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
****
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
****
Then the traveller in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
****
As your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the traveler in the dark,—
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

The Outlawz : Songs & Rhymes Challenge

 

 

The Sunday Songs & Rhymes challenge at the Outlawz is based on the following rhyme  andsponsored by Katy's Card Emporium,

www.klmdigitaldesign.com

https://www.etsy.com/shop/KatysCardEmporium

Help Wanted

Timothy Tocher

Santa needs new reindeer.
The first bunch has grown old.
Dasher has arthritis;
Comet hates the cold.
Prancer's sick of staring
at Dancer's big behind.
Cupid married Blitzen
and Donder lost his mind.
Dancer's mad at Vixen
for stepping on his toes.
Vixen's being thrown out—
she laughed at Rudolph's nose.
If you are a reindeer
we hope you will apply.
There is just one tricky part:
You must know how to fly.

My DT card, featuring an image by the sponsor, was coloured with alcohol markers and neon gel pens

I also used the following to create my card:

white CS base

red CS mat

green CS background, embossed

The Outlawz Song & Rhymes Challenge

 

This is my DT project for the new The Outlawz Songs and Rhymes Challenge where we re sponsored by

Katy's Card Emporium

Here is the rhyme to inspire you

 

Christmas Carol by Sara Teasdale

The kings they came from out the south,
All dressed in ermine fine;
They bore Him gold and chrysoprase,
And gifts of precious wine.

The shepherds came from out the north,
Their coats were brown and old;
They brought Him little new-born lambs--
They had not any gold.

The wise men came from out the east,
And they were wrapped in white;
The star that led them all the way
Did glorify the night.

The angels came from heaven high,
And they were clad with wings;
And lo, they brought a joyful song
The host of heaven sings.

The kings they knocked upon the door,
The wise men entered in,
The shepherds followed after them
To hear the song begin.

The angels sang through all the night
Until the rising sun,
But little Jesus fell asleep
Before the song was done.

I was inspired the word 'wine'

I coloured my Santa image with alcohol markers


 

and also used the following for my project:

white CS base

red CS background

punched snowflakes

string of siilver gem

gift box spangles

The Outlawz Songs & Rhymes Challenge

 

This is my DT card for the next fortnight's challenge over at the Outlawz Songs & Rhymes Challenge.

The rhyme to be inspired by is

Winter!

Author Unknown

I love Winter!  Winter is cold.

It's Christmas with sleds.

It's warm snuggly beds.

It's silver snowflakes.

It's skating on lakes.

It's snowmen that stand.

in a snowy white land.

It's blue jays that feed

on sunflower seeds.

It's angels that pose

in wintertime clothes.

It's a polka-dot sky.

It's winter. That's why...

I love winter.

The Outlawz Challenges Guest Designer : Songs & Rhymes Sunday

 

My GD card for the Outlawz Challenges Songs and Rhymes challenge this fortnight features and image from the prize sponsor, Lemon Shortbread.  This is the song for the challenge

You'll Never Walk alone

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark

At the end of a storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

In an octopus' garden in the shade
