Yes,
that's correct! You are all winners and all three of your beautiful
creations are going in the STM Hall of Fame! We appreciate you
especially, because, even if you didn't know it at the time; you were
participating in <i>our very last challenge. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: yellow;">For
the last five and 1/2 years, we at Scrapping The Music have loved
bringing you challenges. We have loved seeing your creations. You have
inspired us so much! That's what makes this post so difficult.</span><br />
<span style="color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: yellow;">We
have decided it's time to close down the Scrapping The Music challenge
blog. We have been struggling with this decision for awhile now, and
with heavy but grateful hearts, we've decided the end of the year is a
good time to say goodbye.</span><br />
<span style="color: yellow;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: yellow;">We want to thank EVERYONE who has participated in our challenges! You are what has made this adventure so wonderful for us! </span><br />
<br />
Some of our design team members have created layouts to commemorate the occasion...</div>

My layout to say goodbye is based on the song "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqa5kNNaMlc">Every time we say goodbye</a>" sung by Nat King Cole. (Note: I couldn't find Nat King Cole, but I linked you to a version by Ella Fitzgerald).<br />

My layout to say goodbye is based on '<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLAr-WlxMZY">When the music's over'</a> by Jim Morrison & the Doors.<br />
I created a background of some of my layouts I've made for StM in the past years,<br />
Journaling says: <i>After
5 years StM will stop... I've participated since august 2010 and I even
had the privilege to be a DT member for a few months. Michelle and all
of you StM guys, thank you very much for those years of fun and
inspiration.</i><br />

I used the Muppets' song "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNfHU748SYQ">Saying Goodbye</a>"
as the inspiration for my layout. I am filled with emotion and can
honestly say that I have loved Scrapping the Music and being on the
design team for the past 2 years. It has been the best scrapping
experience of my life. I have met so many talented and wonderful people
and I want to thank you all for giving me this amazing opportunity!<br />

can also have discussions about anything music-related, post concert

<div style="text-align: center;">
in English: Sinterklaas, who does not know him... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, I guess most of you do?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sinterklaas (Saint Nicolas) is a dutch holiday, on December 5th children get presents (if they have been nice of course...)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sint
arrives at a steamboat, around half November, and from that day on kids
can put their shoe, together with some water and food for his horse
Amerigo and maybe a nice drawing for Sint himself, and sing some
Sinterklaas-songs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sinterklaas rides the roofs at night
and the next morning there might be a little present in the shoe. And of
course his horse has eaten the bread or carrot, and the food has been
gone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At the night of December 5th, called 'pakjesavond' there will be alot of presents for the children and the whole family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think Sinterklaas and Santa Claus are the same? Even their names sound alike... </div>

I
chose Amy Grant's Christmas song "Love Has Come" for many reasons. We
went to see her in concert at Christmastime one year, and she sang this
song and absolutely blew me away! To see the wonder in Katie and Anne's
eyes each Christmas morning - well, there is no more joy than that in
this world!!! I want to take this time to wish all of you a very Merry
Christmas! May it be filled with joy and happiness!</div>

Even though it's not particularly Christmas-y in the usual sense, Jackson Browne's "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IDYm298JqM">Alive in the World</a>"
perfectly expresses my thoughts about this season. "Open my eyes and
wake up alive in the world..." This is something all the great saints
and sages have tried to teach us. I hope the lyrics inspire you as much
as they do me<span class="postbody">: <a href="http://www.mp3lyrics.org/j/jackson-browne/alive-in-the-world/" target="_blank">http://www.mp3lyrics.org/j/jackson-browne/alive-in-the-world/ </a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: red;"><b>Challenge #209A Song: Try Everyday by Transistor Rodeo</b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Our song for challenge #209 has a very special story behind it. We are so excited to share it with you! This song was submitted to us directly from the artist himself; who was inspired when he found Scrapping The Music by chance! I will let him tell you the story himself. Check it out...</span><br />

The inspiration for the attached video was the "saga" of America's most decorated alpine skier Bode Miller. He has been up & down, criticized, judged....through it all, he has persevered. He was deemed "washed up" and all but dismissed by his coaches, peers and the US ski federation.. Then last season he crushed the competition on Americas toughest downhill ski course The famed "Birds of Prey" in Colorado. </span></span></i></div>

My journaling reads: "Anne struggles with reading. She really does. But I have to say, she always tried to do her best. I admire her persistence and drive. She has improved immensely this year because of her dedication." The lyrics from this song really inspired me. Just try everyday!</div>

It made me think of my blog's name, <i>Trying to Grab Some Happy..." </i> </div>

which I <i>try</i> to do, every day! </div>

at a restaurant in Oregon on the Willamette River called Clark & Lewis. </div>

I was visiting some friends and we went to HAPPY hour. </div>

This journal page is a promise I have made to myself to to create everyday. Sometimes life gets in the way, and it's easy to just let the things you love doing fall to the wayside, but I know that I am happiest when I am making art; so I make it a priority to Make Art Everyday.<br />

It's always hard to say goodbye to someone on our team; and it's especially hard to say goodbye to Patricia; but at the same time, we are excited about her new adventures and want to wish her the very best on her creative journey!!! Patricia has been such an awesome team member for a long time now, both in team spirit and incredible talent!<br />
<br />
We want to take this opportunity to share with you just a few of Patricia's STM layouts...<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="postbody">My poor parents paid for 10 years of piano lessons for me and I was a terrible student. I loved music, but I wanted to play the guitar, like John Denver, or at least learn Beatles songs. I couldn't see the value in Baroque, which was what my teacher insisted on. "If you learn your Baroque, I will teach you the Beatles." So I would try, but my teenage heart had a hard time embracing it. Mrs. Lange was a good egg, and she put up with a lot from me. Now, of course, I wish I would have paid attention. Hindsight is 20/20 I guess.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />

Title: I only can play the record player... Journaling : When I was a kid I got a recorder but never lessons, so I figured it out by myself to play the recorder. In the beginnings it must have been a real cacophony but after some practice you could suggest the melody. Getting older I tried to play guitar, but I wasn't perennial enough to play it well. I did a little bit of organ tinkling, too. Nowadays I wish my parents had tantalized me with piano lessons or maybe beared disharmonized saxophone notes - too late. <br />

Hi Everyone ! It's <b><a href="http://www.scrappage.de/">Frauke</a>
</b>! I'm very excited to host our <b>Scrapping The Music </b>challenges #206A
& B. I hope you'll like the song and prompt I chose and play along.<br />
<br />
<b>Challenge #206A
</b><br />
I chose the song "Rain Red Roses," by Rene Caron. The <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_K_w1Yb5Yk"><b>original version</b></a> is by the German actress, singer and writer <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildegard_Knef"><b>Hildegard Knef</b></a>
(born Dec.28th,1925 - died Feb.1st,2002). The song was first published
in 1968 and in 1992 she re-recorded it with the German band <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CU61yfoJKbQ">"<b>Extrabreit</b>"</a>. So both versions are German we chose the English version by Rene Caron.

went to the fleamarket to buy an old record of my mothers favorite
singer and used it as the background. The journaling says : When I was a
little girl we only owned a few records. My mother liked Peter
Alexander most of all - I liked him as an actor more than his songs,
because he always played in comedies and had a lot of "viennese charme".

It's September 1st and we are excited to bring you our new set of challenges! Before we do though - we are SUPER EXCITED to introduce you to our two new design team members!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: yellow;"><b>Please welcome HERMA and JESSICA!!!</b></span></div>
<br />
Both Herma and Jessica have been dedicated, regular participants at Scrapping The Music, and are members of our Hall of Fame. We think you will agree that they each have a unique and fun style that will be a great addition to our design team!<br />
<br />
Here's a little information about each of them... <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
HERMA </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: small;">I’m Herma from Utrecht, the Netherlands, and I’m very honoured to be one of the new DT members!!! My husband Jimi is a guitarist and musician, and we are married for 10 years now. I (okay, we…) have a son, Brian, who is 22.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: small;">I think I’ve been a scrapper all my lifetime, I never just glued photo’s into an album, no way! I always added something extra. And I’m totally addicted to ‘the real thing’ for about 7 years now. I’m a so called ‘budget-scrapper’, and I’ll scrap with almost everything I can find that looks scrappable to me… So my house is a mess, but I don’t care. There’s no money to spend, I’m unemployed for about 2 years now, I wonder if I’ll ever get a job again… But on the other hand, where would I find the time to scrap when I have to work all days?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am thrilled to be joining the STM design team! STM was the first blog I started submitting challenge pieces to, and I've loved the songs, prompts, and DT inspiration since I first found it. I'm beyond thrilled to be on board. Let's see-- I'm a mom of two girls - one starting 6th grade and the other a senior in college (gasp!). I'm happily married to the sweetest man alive (IMHO) and have a wonderful life where I am a full-time artist. Most of my work is licensing my designs for greeting cards and table top ceramics. But I recently found the art journaling world and became hooked big time. Not having ever gotten into scrapbooking (don't know how that eluded me), what you'll be seeing from me is lots of mixed media, texture, collage, paint, etc. I'm also a yoga instructor, and yoga philosophy definitely influences my work. I look forward to playing with you at STM!</div>

This song is very much in my head and heart today. Yesterday, we had to
put down our wonderful cat Tory. She was a rescue kitten who came into
our family over 17 years ago as a present for my then 3 year old
daughter, Mariel. She was my companion through a contested divorce,
getting my feet wet again in the dating world, several relationships, a
new marriage, a new baby, moving to a new home, and transitioning from
working as a lawyer, to embracing a new life as a yoga teacher and
artist. She was feisty and a diva -- she didn't like new people, new
animals, or being transported to new settings. She had a wail of a
meow, and a purr that was so loud that it could be heard from another
room. As the lyrics from <a href="http://scrappingthemusicdt.blogspot.com/2012/07/stray-cat-strut.html">Stray Cat Strut go</a>
- she was a black and orange cat with class and style, who never
bothered chasing mice around. I will really miss her. Although I don't
often try to paint with any realism, this art journal page captures her
and her regal, haughty expression.<br />
