CY# 29 and Scrap it With a Song Collaborate!

Hi everyone!  It's time for another challenge:)  

This time we have something very special to share with you.  

The reason why we are posting on May 1st is because we are working 

with Scrap It With a Song this month. 

**And don't worry, you still have until May 4th to participate in April's challenge!  We will be announcing the winners on May 6th, 2016 as per our usual schedule.**

Here is Challenge YOUrself's May challenge:

Here is Scrap it with a Song's Challenge for May:

 

May Rock Song:

"So Am I" by Kensington

May Pop Song:

"Best Day Of My Life" by American Authors

**************************

Our Design Team has done an amazing job combining our challenge with 
Scrap it With a Song's challenge!  
Let's see what they have created and why:

Gemma

I picked "Best Day of my Life."  As soon as I heard it, I thought about a day we had last Summer in London.  It was such a fun day with beautiful weather.  It definitely ranks as one of the best days of my life so far!

Sherri

For the Scrap it with a Song challenge, I selected the song "Best Day of my Life," because every day, and any time spent laughing and scrapping with my creative friends is a "Best Day!"

Jess

I chose a line from  "Best day of my life." This is a photo of me taken the summer before I joined Sliming World and is a reminder of how far I've come.

Asa

I chose some words from "Best Day of my Life."  In the song, they sing "lose control" but I wrote "lost" instead.  I was inspired by the colors from the mood board.

Cindy

I chose "Best Day of my Life" because it instantly makes me feel like dancing and it sure shows how I feel when I am with my family.  Even with everyday problems, each day with them is the best day.

Susanne

My title and my journaling were inspired by lyrics of The Best Day.  The bright light and sunshine elements from the mood board are why I chose the photo in the first place - with the light flare in the corner.

Taru

I chose the rock song "So Am I."  In particular, the name of the song inspired me! 

(We don't remember days, we remember moments!)

Tracy

I chose "Best Day of my Life."  I feel any day spent with my three grandchildren is the best day of my life.  Besides the son being beautiful, the lyrics "all the possibilities" really hit me because with grandchildren, all things are possible and I hope all of their dreams come true!

Sharon

I love the colors and images of the mood board for CY#29!  For our collaboration with Scrap it With a Song, I picked "Best Day of my Life" because I wanted to scrap about my dreams  . . . and this song just makes me happy!!!

Challenge YOUrself #28: This One's for the Girls!

Hi everyone!

It's time for another challenge: 

I'ts all about song lyrics this month and we would like you to use the lyrics from this song by Martina McBride: 

This is for all you girls about thirteen,

High school can be so rough can be so mean,

Hold on to on to your innocence,

Stand your ground when everybody's givin' in.

This one's for the girls

This is for all you girls about twenty five,

In little apartments just tryin' to get by,

Livin' on on dreams and spaghetti-o's,

Wonderin' where your life is gonna go.

[Chorus]

This one's for the girls,

Who've ever had a broken heart,

Who've wished upon a shooting star,

You're beautiful the way you are,

This one's for the girls,

Who love without holdin' back,

Who dream with everything they have,

All around the world,

This one's for the girls.

This is for all you girls about forty two,

Tossin' pennies into the fountain of youth,

Every laugh line on your face,

Made you who you are today.

[Chorus]

Yeah we're all the same inside,

From one to ninety nine

[Chorus]

If you want, you can check out Martina McBride's video here!

You can use the lyrics in any way that you like, just remember to use a photo with YOU in it on your layout!
