Just walkin' the dog
If you don't know how to do it,
I'll show you how to walk the dog

Outlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes 11 - 24 August - piano man

Outlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes 11 - 24 August - piano man
http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/sunday-clean-and-simple/forum/topics/sunday-songs-and-rhymes-august-11-to-august-24-2019


Find inspiration in the song or rhyme:
Piano Man
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin
He says, "Son, can you play me a memory
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes"
La la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright



I have used papers and precoloured digi stamp and element from Polkadoodles Work and Play CD -collection 8 Feel the Music.

I hope you will go over and see the lovely work by the design team and join in the challenge.

Whoopsi Daisy precoloured digi stamp from collection 12.

The collections are great value they have lots of coloured and black and white digi stamps and papers.

You can see all the collections at

More Mixed Media challenge - anything goes with optional bright colours
http://moremixedmediachallenge.blogspot.com/


I sponged white gloss card with blue, green and yellow brilliance inks.  Stamped fairy stamps from an old stamp set I have had for a long time with purple brilliance ink I think it was a free set which came with a magazine.   Coloured wings with yellow glitter pen. 
Cut oval in green car and embossed with Cuttlebug daisies embossing folder and layered over the gloss card.  Stamped another fairy from the set, coloured the wings with yellow glitter pen and layered on top.  Added flowers and pearls.
Stamped happy birthday and punched out with oval punch and layered on top.
Layered all onto purple card.

I have lots of clear and wood mount stamps but I don't stamp very much now.  I mostly use digital stamps as they are easier on my sore hands.

I hope you will go over and see the lovely work by the design team and join in the challenge.
