Back to the 80's

Hello everyone and welcome to Nonna's Craft Corner and
Emily's Back to the 80's Birthday Blog Hop!
  
In honor of her birthday, my very talented friend, Emily from Create Serendipity is hosting today's fabulous Back to the 80's Birthday Blog Hop!  So, before we get started just let me say Happy Birthday Emily, I hope you have a wonderful day!  What a fun way to celebrate your birthday!  Emily has a wonderful line-up of talented friends to help celebrate her birthday today!

If you came to my blog from Stephanie's at Sweet Steph Card Creations, you are in the right spot!  If you just stopped by for a visit and would like to start at the beginning of the hop so that you don't miss out on any of the fun (not to mention great prizes) you need to start at Emily's blog, Create Serendipity.
So, are you ready to get started with my project?  Crank up your boom box with some totally rad tunes, make sure your hair is in a side ponytail and you have on your LA Gears!  Here we go....
Last spring my granddaughter Emma had "Wacky Tacky Day" at school.  We had a lot of fun pulling out clothes and accessories that she could use for her outfit.  When we finished putting everything together and fixing her hair, I made the comment "You look like Cyndi Lauper!"  Of course my 6 year old granddaughter (a child of 2004) had no clue who Cyndi Lauper was!  Being her grandmother, it is my honor and duty to educate her on such things.....so...it was Google to the rescue!  After downloading several pictures of Cyndi in her wild clothes and pink hair, Emma was a fan!  While I was at it, I bought a few songs from itunes and without a doubt, Emma and I have a hand's down favorite Cyndi Lauper song.....
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun....

(click on photo to enlarge)

Recipe:
* This fun, hot pink, glittery cardstock is from the Femme' Fatale paper stack by Recollections.
* The neon green letters in the title are from the Cricut cartridge Birthday Bash 
* The glittery stars are cut from Cricut's Rock Princess cartridge.  I used lots of Martha Stewart glitter on the stars. I also cut two bottom layers so that I could use pop dots to lift the stars up from the cardstock and add some dimension to my layout.


* My sentiment mat is cut from the Spellbinders die Labels 11.  I cut two labels out of black cardstock.  Using VersaMark Ink, I stamped the background stamp Swirls from Pink By Design onto one layer of my black label.  I used a hot pink embossing powder and my heat gun to give the stamp a bright, shiny neon look. Then, using pop dots, I adhered the two black labels.
* I typed up my journaling onto white cardstock, cut it using the Spellbinders die and added it to my sentiment label.
* I love, love, love the boom box!  It's also cut from the Rock Princess cartridge. The speakers got a coat of black glitter and the antenna is covered with Glossy Accents.
* The musical notes are from Rock Princess "Heart Font".


  *For the second page, I used a larger die in the Labels 11 set and this time I used a neon green for the embossing.
* My version of the fabulous Miss Cyndi Lauper is also cut from Rock Princess.  I gave her pink hair a run through my Cuttlebug using the Divine Swirls folder.  I added lots of glitter to her jewelery and layers of pink and black tulle made a fabulous, swirly skirt and fun hair bow!

  But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

(Ok, sorry about that...got caught up in the moment!)
So....that's my Back to the 80's totally rad scrapbook layout for you!  I want to thank our birthday girl, Emily for inviting me to be part of this hop today! I had so much fun putting this layout together and it was fun to take a little walk down memory lane and have my granddaughter join me!

You're next stop on the hop is my fabulously talented friend, Candace at Scrappin' Two Little Princesses and I know she has something wonderful in store for you!

  2. I love your layout, it is just too adorable. I love the title and the pink color, the cuts are just perfect. I love everything about it! Cindy Lauper was one of my favorite artists during the 80's. Thanks to your post, that song is stuck in my head, lol. What a fun hop for those of us who grew up during the 80's. I love all of your creations and the inspiration you continue to provide!
