"So You Say It's Your Birthday" Hop

Happy Monday Scrappy Friends. Welcome to our Beatles music inspired blog hop in honor of Ashley's. We are happy to have you hop along with us and help Erika (Cricut Love) celebrate her daughter's 11th birthday. Happy Birthday Ashley!!! I hope you have an amazing day :)

Ok, so let's get started. You should be arriving from Stephanie's blog. In case that you are not, start at the beginning (Erika) because you will not want to miss a single project.

For our projects, we were asked to create a Beatles song inspired project. This was a bit difficult for me, because although the Beatles are a great classic band, I really don't listen to them. Sorry Erika :)  When I first heard their 1 album, I was surprised that they sang all those songs I liked. lol. I was definitely a Beatles newbie up to a few years ago. So not really knowing the titles of their songs or all their music, I was a bit stumped as to what I would do. But after watching I Am Sam, inspiration hit me and I came up with this:

Picture 1: My inspiration came from "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"

Written by: John Lennon

Album: 1967 Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Picture 2: Verse 4

"Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,

Waiting to take you away.

Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,

And you're gone." 

Picture 3: Last Verse

"Picture yourself on a train in a station,

With plastecine porters with looking glass ties,

Suddenly someone is there at the turstyle,

The girl with kaleidoscope eyes."

I know that my project is a bit different but I felt restricted by the cricut machine and stamps that I own. So because of that, I chose to create a mini piece of art for her. All that is needed is a mat and a frame and it will be ready for display. I used Strathmore Paper and Prismacolor NuPastels. I really enjoyed creating this for Ashley and I hope that she likes it.
