Today I decided to play first and do the housework afterwards to make sure I could catch up on my art journal pages for the ukstampers weekly challenge.  This page is for week 14 and the prompt was music –  to include:

  • what was the first record you bought
  • what would be in your top 5
  • use sheet music or stamp in your background

As I recall my first single I bought was Wizzard “Are you ready to rock” but it was the B side I liked the best and I would bop around the house to it.  I have still got that single but have lost the sleeve as I liked to keep my records safe in these cardboard sleeves.
My music taste is varied and it depends entirely on my mood to what I will like to listen to.
While making this journal page I was listening to the soundtrack to Amelie.
For my top 5 this week would be : Clannad, Pink floyd, KT Tunstall, Peatbog Faeries, Yann Tierson but I couldn’t leave out the Scorpions, Neil Young, Capercaillie, Bob Dylan……..too many to mention.

Inks:  Memento Tuxedo black, Adirondack Red pepper
Card:  ivory textured card, sheet music from an old book
Stamps:  Tim Holtz Chronicles alphabet, Inkadinkado Rock star
Other:  acrylic paint various, white pen, black pen, red pen
