and now, ON TO THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE!!!!!

This week we are featuring the super-fun song "Shiny Happy People" by REM! It's one of those songs that just can't help but get you bopping around in front of your computer when you hear it!!! There is so much opportunity for inspiration with this song it's just CRAZY!!! We had a lot of fun scrapping with this song and hope you do too! Check out the lyrics by clicking on the sidebar.

Our prize this week is donated by our guest designer Marit! As you may already know, Marit is the owner of her own online workshop community called "Marit's Paper World," where she teaches wonderful classes on art journaling/scrapbooking. For this week's prize, is donating a free spot in her upcoming Art Journaling class called "Let it Loose!"


Let it Loose is a 12-week class on art journaling that is super fun and great for people of all experience levels. I can personally vouch for this class - I took it the first time she offered it and I had an awesome time and learned a ton of fun, new techniques!!!

Thank you so much Marit for being our guest designer for July AND being our sponsor this week!!! We appreciate you!

And now, on to this week's design team layouts for "Shiny Happy People..."
