Told You!

I promised it'd be up tonight and I delivered!

I have wasted enough time trying to figure blogger out, so I won't waste any more!
Without further ado, the second lyrics for the March challenge are:

Little Victories - Matt Nathanson
This time, I'll have no fear
I'll be standing strong and tall
Turn my back towards them all
And I'll be awful sometimes
Weakened to my knees
And I'll learn to get by
On the little victories
And if the world decides to catch up with me
It's a little victory.

The Book of Love - Peter Gabriel
The book of love has music in it In fact that's where music comes from Some of it is just transcendental Some of it is just really dumb But I I love it when you sing to me And you You can sing me anything.

And as always, our ladies have given you some beautiful examples to draw from!
Sing To Me - By Peggy

Est 1999 - By Jane

Indiana's Little Victory - Chic

Book of Love Mini Album - Skye

Little Victory - Kirsti

Believe - Shelley

Remember ladies - this month there is a Fiskars Knife set up for grabs, so get your creative thinking caps on and show us what you're made of!
We love seeing your entries and can't wait to see what you come up with!

Happy scrapping!

Promise!

The next challenge is coming!
I have tried 3 different PC's here in my workplace and blogger is not having a bar of it!
It simply will not upload images!
I'll be giving it a go on my Mac when I get home tonight - so hold tight and bear with me!

Our First March Entry

Well girls, our first two entries for this month have arrived and they are looking gorgeous!
The first is by Michelle Turner and is inspired by the Eva Cassidy 'Songbird' lyrics.

Michelle Turner - With You
And the Second is by Vicki Bailey and inspired by the Whitlams 'Thank You' lyrics.
Vicki Bailey - If This Isn't Love

See I knew that the reason you hadn't started sending in entries yet was because you were putting together something great!

Keep them coming ladies, as we always love seeing what you have been inspired to create and sharing your gorgeous work with others!

A whole fresh batch of lyrics will be up on Sunday, along with some delicious new examples from our DT girls, so if the first half of the month did nothing for you, there might be something that jumps out in the next lot!

As of this month, we are also sponsoring a monthly challenge over at Debs Creations.
This month's song is 'Your Song' by Elton John!
You have to be an active forum member to join, but there are some super nice ladies over there, so if you think that might be your cup of tea, go on over and give it a shot!
You have to be in it to win it!

Happy Scrapping everyone!
Will be back soon with more excitement!

March Challenge 1

Hi Guys!
Well, February challenges are CLOSED and it is a new month! And of course with a new month comes a new challenge! AND with new challenges, of course, come new examples from our DT girls!

So without further ado, March's first lyrics are:

Songbird - Eva Cassidy
For you there'll be no crying.
For you, the sun will be shining
Because I feel that when I'm with you,
It's alright.
I know it's alright.

Thankyou (For Loving Me at my Worst) - The Whitlams
Thank you, for loving me at my worst
If this isn't love it's really close
Can we be crazy for a few more years
If I've got them in me?!

And for the beautiful examples for this month:

Hollee and Jack - By Jane

If This Isn't Love - by Shelley

With You - By Peggy

If This Isn't Love - By Me

For You - By Kirsti

I hope to see you all get on board and give the challenge a go!

This months prize is a Fiskars knife set, including both a Fiskars comfort craft knife and finger tip control knife, as well as a set of spare blades.


The next challenge will be posted on the 15th, but you have until the end of the month to get your layouts in for either set of lyrics. You are welcome to create as many layouts throughout the month as you like - the more we can inspire, the better!

Any questions feel free to email me at songbird.scraps@gmail.com!

Otherwise, I'll be back later in the week to announce Feb's winner!

Happy scrapping!
