We have greatly enjoyed this year and we are looking forward to all of your creations during 2009! The winner of our "All I Want for Christmas" challenge was MICA! Congratulations!!! Your layout is now hanging in our Scrapping the Music Hall of Fame. All the layouts were wonderful and helped us celebrate this wonderful time of the year. We thank you for participating.
Do you ever listen to a song and get caught up in the words....lost in your thoughts and emotions? Music can inspire and release creativity in all of us. This site has been created as a pure means of inspiration for creating scrapbook pages from the heart. Each week a different song will be featured in the form of a challenge. As a participant, it is hoped that you would find inspiration in the song and use it to create a layout full of passion, emotion, or just pure fun. So, sit back and enjoy! Create and share not only music but moments caught on camera whose memories will last a lifetime.
If this is your first time visiting our challenge blog, we hope you add us to your favorites or subscribe so that you receive updates when a new challenge is posted. We also hope you get to play along with us during 2009.
This week, we are not going to post a new challenge as usual but are reflecting on all the wonderful layouts each of our participants have created throughout the past year. We also want to give you a chance to win a wonderful gift from us. Over the last couple of months, the design team members have created a special gift for one lucky comment poster. Each design team member has created three cards for a specific occasion. Someone is going to receive 30 BEAUTIFUL cards for all different occasions that were hand crafted by the design team members for one of you!
All you have to do to have a chance to win this prize is to post a comment. We have a very large following and it would be really cool to see everyone say Hi! So, please take a minute and post a comment. We would love to hear from you!
Next week, we are going to kick off our 2009 challenges! One of the Design Team members commented that the January songs are our best ones yet! We will resume our regular challenges and format next Sunday along with announcing the winner of our special gift and our NEW DESIGN TEAM members!!!
Have a great week and we look forward to hearing from you!

Wasn't the slide show for Video GREAT! Thanks to everyone who participated!!! The winner of the challenge was.....GINE!!! Congratulations girl! Your layout was just beautiful! Julie! You picked up on my hint. You are one smart cookie! hahaha Did anyone else get it?
This week we have Just a Girl by No Doubt to inspire you. We hope you like this challenge and find a little scrapping time to create a layout. Remember, this song is only meant to inspire. Feel free to change the lyrics to suit your needs. For example, Just a Boy.
This week, I received some very sad news. A couple of Design Team members need a break and will be stepping down at the end of December. This means that we will be looking through our Scrapping the Music Hall of Fame for three new talented scrappers to join our design team. If you are already an inductee and would like to be considered, please drop me an email. If you are not a member, you still have a couple weeks to create a layout that "wins" one of our challenges making you a member of our Hall of Fame.
Here is what the Design Team came up with for this week's challenge. By looking at these layouts, I am sure there will be some wonderful layouts created this week.
