The Craft Barn: Q & L Challenge

The weather is pretty bad today so I had plenty of time for the new challenge at the Craft Barn. The challenge this time is to use the words HUG and/or NOWHERE in a quote or lyric.
I knew immediately that I wanted to go with NOWHERE and to choose the lyrics from a song of a band which I discovered recently. 
The band is "Canterbury" and the song is: "Going Nowhere". Check them out, they are really good. Their CD is on constant repeat in my car at the moment :)
  I made another page in my journal and got the inspirations from an article in Craft Stamper. For the background I've used white and light blue acrylic paints and some gesso and blue paint with a stencil in the corners. Then added a couple of stamps and some Washi tape. Stamped 3 stars on red paper, cut them out and glued them to the page. Finally printed out the lyrics and added them as well.  
The stamps are from Craft Stamper magazine, Sheena Douglas and Inkadinkado. 
Thanks for looking :)

The Craft Barn: Q & L Challenge
 
It's time for the new challenge at the Craft Barn. The challenge is to use the words DESTINY and/or GIFT in a quote or lyric.
The quote I went for is from Leonardo Da Vinci: "I have always felt it is my destiny to build a machine that would allow man to fly."
  I made another page in my art journal for this one. I found a great set of Da Vinci stamps from Stamp Addicts which are perfect for the quote. 
I've made the main background using brown Distress Ink and a crackle background stamp from Crafty Individuals. I prepared the second background with a mix of Gesso and orange glaze. I then added some Distress Inks to it and used the Da Vinci background stamp with Staz-On inks. 
I've heat embossed Da Vinci's head and printed out the quote and added both to the background. 
Looking forward to see what everybody is doing with the new prompts.
Thanks for looking :)

The Craft Barn: Q & L Challenge

Phew, I've just made it for the current challenge at the Craft Barn. The challenge is to use the words BETTER and/or PATIENCE in a quote or lyric.
I used the word BETTER and the quote is: It's better to live one day as a lion than a thousand years as a lamb. 
The quote inspired Zack de la Rocha, the vocalist of Rage Against the Machine and Jon Theodore, former drummer of The Mars Volta to name their band "One day as a lion"
Please check them out on You tube here.

  For this tag I added Memento ink directly to the background and sprinkled some gold Perfect Pearls over it. I've added some patterned paper to it and stamped the images on the tag. The stamps are from Viva Decor.
Looking forward to the new prompts tomorrow.
Thanks for looking :)

The Craft Barn: Q & L Challenge

And here comes another journal page for the new Craft Barn Challenge.
The Challenge this time is to use the words MISTAKE and/or MOUNTAIN in a quote or lyric.
  For this one I've used a lyric from one of my favourite bands: The Black Keys. The song is called : Next Girl. The lyrics go like this: "My next girl, will be nothing like my ex girl. I made mistakes back then, I'll never do it again." 
If you'd like to check out the song, you can find it here.
The background is made with 3 different Pan Pastels. I've used the positive and negative side of a woman stencil for the heads, some chalkboard speech bubbles for the lyric and Inkadinkado stamps for the corners.
Thanks for looking.
