Happy Birthday to Scrapping the Music! We are officially one year old and still growing!!! Thank you to everyone that participates in our challenges, posts comments, and shares their talent with us. We are planning a special celebration in September that will last all month long, so you won't want to miss it.

This week, the Design Team voted and Frauke is the newest member of our Hall of Fame. Make sure you check out her layout! It totally rocks! All the layouts were wonderful and we thank each and every participant for playing along. The winner of the Francis Myers kit is.....Gracie! Yahoo and congratulations to the both of you! Gracie, please email me your mailing address so I can get your kit postal.

This week's song is a really good one for scrapping. Check out the lyrics and see if they inspire you like they inspired the Design Team. We want to thank Kristii Lockhart for being our Guest Designer. She totally rocked each and every challenge and we were blessed to have her as part of our team.

Challenge #51--Don't Give Up

Before I being with this week's challenge I have to say....WOW!!!! The ladies that contributed this week created some AMAZING layouts, a mini album, and a wall hanging! If you have not had a chance to view the slide show, please scroll down to see all the amazing talent exhibited by our participants. We are always so grateful to everyone who participates weekly or just when they have a chance. Your comments do mean a lot.

The winner of this week's challenge was Jessica! Congratulations!!! Your mini album totally rocked and was truly a work of art! You are now a member of the Hall of Fame.

Have you ever had a time in your life when you just felt like giving up, but someone or something gives you the encouragement you need to go on? Well, this song is the perfect inspiration for such an occasion or person. Read the words to this song. They are can be used on a variety of different layouts for a variety of different occasions. This song would be perfect for exercise, weight loss, sports, bad hair days, or even getting stuck in the mud. The possibilities are endless.

We still have our sponsor and will be giving away this BEAUTIFUL Francis Meyer kit next Sunday. All you have to do to be entered into the drawing to win it is create a layout. Here is the kit that someone will win!

These papers are BEAUTIFUL!


Here is what the Design Team created, so Don't Give Up and scrap us a layout!

When You Say Nothing at All--SLIDE SHOW!!!

WOW! This week was another amazing week. We hope you enjoy the slide show!!!

If your layout is missing and you submitted it on time, please let me know ASAP. I would NEVER intentionally leave one out, however I am human and make mistakes.

Challenge #50--When You Say Nothing At All

I never realized how powerful this song was until I visited the Webster's Pages site and found it playing in the background. I sat there and just listened. The words are very meaningful to me and I hope they will inspire something within you.

This week we had a lot of wonderful layouts submitted. The design team voted and VALERIE is the newest member of our Hall of Fame! Congratulations!!! This week we also get to announce the winner of the kit from Living Memories. Congratulations DAWN!!! Please send me your mailing address using the link at the right and I will get your kit postal ASAP.

Over the next two weeks, you can have your name entered into the next drawing to win this Francis Meyer kit! There are 2 sheets of each double-sided paper of 12 x 12 size and one 8,5 x 11 sheet of chipboard shapes in this Kit.

Here is another look at the papers. They are BEAUTIFUL!


Remember, if you complete a layout this week and one next week, your name will be in the drawing twice. If you complete just one of the challenges, your name will be in the drawing once. Now, to get you thinking, here are the outstanding layouts created by the design team for this week's challenge.

Challenge #48--Time of My Life

I still can't get over all the BEAUTIFUL layouts submitted last week! WOW!!! Everyone really out did themselves and we are thrilled with all the participation!!! The design team selected DAWN to be our newest Hall of Fame inductee. CONGRATULATIONS girl!!!!

We have a guest designer for August, but you are going to have to wait one more week to find out who. However, I assure you she is well worth the wait! Just a little more good news! We have a sponsor!!! Living Memories has graciously agreed to send one lucky person this wonderful kit!



Over the next two weeks, we will post two challenges. This one and the one next Sunday. If you complete them both, you will have your name entered into a drawing twice. If you only get to complete one of the challenges, your name will go in the drawing once. The winner of this BEAUTIFUL kit will be announced on August 17th. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.

A few weeks ago, my daughter came running into my scraproom and said, "Mom! You have to listen to this song! I think it would make a great scrapping song." haha Yes, she was referring to Time of My Life by David Cook and she was right. The lyrics and especially the chorus of this song are a GREAT source of inspiration. Here are the lyrics of the chorus so you can see for yourself. We can't wait to see what you come up with for this challenge!!!

And I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time
To be more than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life

Here is what the Design Team created to help get your creative juices flowing.
