Melissa's Blog: One Little Word August #OLW Blog Hop

Welcome to to my stop on the One Little Word blog hop for August. If you’ve come from Lynn’s blog welcome! The full list of blogs is at the end of this post.

July’s prompt was music. I’ve heard lots of children’s music this month. Of course Emily loves it, and I don’t mind singing along to Bullfrogs and Butterflies. I guess they fit well with my word also! Growing and changing!

I also bought God is able from iTunes, but haven’t made it past the first few songs yet!

For my album I chose to highlight one song – Doin it Doin it – Emily’s favourite.

Lyrics

There’s a bumble bee, a honey bee
Gettin’ the honey for you and me
Doin’ it doin’ it – doin’ it doin’ it
Buzzing around – helping the garden grow
There’s a little worm diggin’ around
Eatin’ dirt from out of the ground
Doin’ it doin’ it – doin’ it doin’ it
Little worm – helping the garden grow
Up in the sky there’s a yellow sun Shining down on everyone
Doin’ it doin’ it – doin’ it doin’ it
Shine shine – making the garden grow
There’s a big fat cloud and a drop of rain
It’s falling down on the window pane
Doin’ it doin’ it – doin’ it doin’ it
Splish splosh – making the garden grow
Fly fly through the sky
Little bird drops a seed
The seed grows up into a tree
A green umbrella for you and me
Croaky frogs, cats and dogs
Creepy crawlies under a log
Doin’ it doin’ it – doin’ it doin’ it
All over the world – making the garden grow
Everybody – making the garden grow
You and me – making the garden grow

I just did a little bit of trick embossing – used card embossing folder on my 5x7 page and then lining it up as best I could and repeating it at 90 degrees to the first one. That way I got 80% of the page overed. I cut and embossed a scrap and added some lyrics. A very simpel take on this month’s prompt.

Supplies:

Cosmo Cricket Honeypie Ella Paper

Cuttlebug A2 Embossing Folder, Stylized Flowers

5x7 Bind it all cream pages

Spellbinders Borderabilities

Spellbinders S4-239 Borderabilities Petite Classic Scalloped Border Die Template

I’m thrilled I’m keeping up with this – being accountable to sharing it in the hop really helps me keep my word front and centre.

Ali sends out monthly emails with a prompt for the month and you just complete it as you are inspired to throughout the month. Did you know that the One Little Word class is still open? You still have plenty of time to catch up or why not just jump in with this month’s prompt?
