I have another yummy lOvE songs project for you today! Nichole gave you a little peek at one of the images yesterday with her amazing Rice Crispy cone! So cool! (are you guys singing all week with me... maybe we should put our own little You Tube Video together! LOL!) What's your favorite song so far?
On to the next songs!
Love Is All You Need- This song was released by the Beatles in 1967- (video clip) a little before my time but it's a classic and has such a strong message of LOVE! I remember tuning my ear to the swanky horns when I first heard the song as a little girl. It's so cool. It's a song of love that blankets all aspects of our lives. (I can't remember is this song was in the yellow submarine movie. Anyone know?) I lovehow this is a song about love... not just a love song!
You're the First, the Last, My Everything- The first 8 counts of this song are unmistakable! Barry White released this song in 1974 and brings this swinging soulful tune to life with his deep, full voice.(audio clip) It's such a happy song...a definite dance song. (having Alli McBeal flash backs, LOL!) This song gives me an eternal feeling...all encompassing. Whenever I hear it at a dance I grab my husband and happy dance! Try it.... it will make you smile!
Both of these songs brought circular imagery to mind when contemplating companion images. I decided that the sentiments themselves needed to be circular with the ability to have a heart image in the center of the sentiment. Here is a fun treat project that shows all the images together!
I thought it would be fun to create some heart shaped candy melt suckers!
I first sprinkled some primary colored sprinkles in my mold... then put the melted White Chocolate in the mold with the sticks. I wanted to create something that I can mass produce later for my girls' school valentines exchange. this is simple enough that they can do it themselves... right up my ally!
Here are a few finished suckers all wrapped up with some little punched faces!
You can see why I thought of circular images with "All You Need is Love" ... the lyrics go around and around naturally! (notice how the images perfectly coordinate with the Extra Jumbo circle punches!)
Here are the suckers all packaged up in one of Lauren's newest templates...Lollipop Along ©!
Here is where "You're the First, the Last, My Everything" comes into play. (almost all of the other images fit into this sentiment for an extra bonus!) I can't tell you how much effort it took to keep my girls from eating these before I could snap a photo! LOL!
This was such a blast to make! I could probably fit 5 suckers in here... I can imagine giving this as a hostess gift as well as a valentines gift.
I also wanted to share the one image used as an "o".... I've included the remainder of the letters to make the word "lOvE" ... so many uses when put together like this!
I can see this on a scrapbook page, cards, mini books.... Oh... How cute would that be... a Mini book with this as the title on the front!
Don't for get to check out Candice's, Nichole's, Lauren's and Mish's blog for their special projects! Tomorrow is my last count down day for lOvE Songs... One last song to share.... any guesses as to what the song and image are? :) here's a little hint.... an uplifting image and I used a song from a 80's soundtrack to tie it together. ;)
