From funk to funky - Disco Lyric ATCs

There are things that make me happy. I'm sure you know some of them: fairy tales and daydreams. Others might surprise you: Pee-wee Herman and disco.

If I'm in a funk, I slide the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack onto my music making doohickey and in no time at all I'm dancing in my kitchen. (Warning: Don't ever peek in my kitchen window.)

Fed up of being in a glum slump I decided to use that funky music and create a set of ATC's with disco lyrics.
I won't give a true and full supply list (some of the supplies used are pretty well hidden/covered) but I will say that I used these as an opportunity to experiment with some Radiant Rain mists and daubers that I was sent, and that most of the ladies on the cards are from my Blushing Ladies Collage Sheet.

Here's a good look at my 'disco diva's' and where their sentiments originated.

And there you have it! A batch of funk fighting ATCs.

I know that some of the songs listed aren't exactly disco and, honestly, where the heck is Donna Summer? But I think these will do for now ;)

  4. Funk to funky. . . we know Pixie Hill's a junkie. . . strung out in faerie realms. . . sometimes lost in dis-co.

    Yep. . . my head is full now too! First it was just the Rod Stewart song but all the others have crept in. I had the SNF soundtrack as a child and loved it! And such a wonderful blend with the images Nichola! As always, wonderful and delightful work!
