Not long ago, I discovered a unique Russian blog called Scrap Melody. Scrap Melody is running a marathon of music-related challenges, and I was thrilled when I was invited to be a guest designer for the fourth leg of the marathon. The theme is folk music!
Несколько времени назад я нашла уникальный блог по названию Мелодии скрапа. Там идёт музыкальный марафон, и я была так рада, когда меня пригласили стать приглашенным дизайнером для четвёртого этапа марафона. Тема этого этапа--народная песня!
When I think about traditional American folk songs, Laura Ingalls Wilder immediately springs to mind. While it's true that she is a writer, not a musician, Laura included in her books the words to many songs that her father used to sing. For my layout, I chose to focus on the song "Golden Years."
Когда думаю о традиционой, народной музыке США, сразу приходит в ум
работы Лауры Инголлс Уайлдер. Правильно, она не
музыкант, а писательница. Но Лаура в своих книгах часто писала слова к
песням, которые её папа пел, когда она была девочкой. Я выбрала темой
своей странички песню "Золотые годы".
My journaling reads: "Just as the old folk songs says, 'Golden years
are passing by, these happy golden years.' I'm so glad that we've spent
these years together."
This is a romantic page, with a photo of my husband and myself on our fourteenth wedding anniversary.
Эта страничка романтичная. На снимке--мы с мужем, когда мы отметили 14ую годовщину.
Of course, I had to include a "golden" accent on my layout.
Конечно, есть на моей страничке золотое украшение.
I made my own pattern for the treble clef.
Я сама сделала узор скрипичного ключа.
I also did a bit of old-fashioned cross-stitching.
И я вышивала крестом, в старомодном стиле.
And now, I invite you to play along with this challenge. Use a folk song (in any language) to create any type of project--a layout, a card, or an off-the-page project. Best of luck to you! And, as they say at Scrap Melody, may your soul always sing!
Теперь, я вас приглашаю участвовать в челлендже. Выберите народную песню (на любом языке) и создайте любой скрап-проект--страничку, открытку или скрап-объект. Желаю удачи! И, как всегда говорят на сайте Мелодий скрапа, пусть у вас душа поёт всегда!
