A New Day brings a New Challenge!

With a new half month, comes a new set of lyrics and in keeping with our 'Australia' theme, we have some beautiful soulful words to isnpire you this time around...

So lets check them out shall we?

Kasey Chambers – The Captain…

Well I have handed all my efforts in

I searched here for my second wind

Is there somewhere here to let me in I’ve asked

So I slammed the doors they slammed at me

I found the place I'm meant to be

I figured out my destiny at last

When The War is Over - Cold Chisel

When the war is over got to get away,

Pack my bag to no place in no time, no day

You and I we used each other's shoulder

Still so young but somehow so much older

How can I go home and not get blown away

Aint nobody gonna steal this heart away...

Aint nobody gonna steal this heart away...

Our CT girls have come up with some amazing examples to help get you on your way too!

A Brand New Month!

Well ladies, entries are closed and we have started a brand new month!

And in honour of ANZAC Day, we here at Songbirds are dedicating April to Australian Music!

All of this months songs have been written by homegrown talent, and judging by how excited the DT girls were about them, they are sure to inspire!

And for those international players - Dont worry! We chose lyrics that can be used to inspire anyone and anything!

To help us celebrate Australia month, please make welcome our first guest designer, Alyssa Vollman...

Alyssa has provided a gorgeous example for the first April challenge and will be back again with to help inspire you for the second challenge as well!

She applied for our CT back when we were running application and only just missed out, so we asked her back to help us out this month!

I can hear you saying "Enough of the jibber jabber Skye, give us the lyrics!", so I better get on with it!

The first lyrics for April are:

Pete Murray – Opportunity…

Don't be scared of what you cannot see

Your only fear is possibility

Never wonder what the hell went wrong

Your second chance may never come along

Hold on now your exits here

It's waiting just for you

Don't pause too long

It's fading nowIt's ending all too soon you'll see

Hunters and Collectors - Throw Your Arms Around Me...

I dreamed of you at night time

And I watched you in your sleep

I met you in high places

I touched your head and touched your feet

So if you disappear out of view

You know I will never say goodbye

And though I try to forget it

You will make me call your name

And I'll shout it to the blue summer sky

And the AMAZING DT Examples:

Don't be Scared - By Alyssa Vollman

Possibility - By Peggy

Possibility - By Skye

And I Watched You In Your Sleep - By Jane

Throw Your Arms Around Me - By Kirsti

Opportunity - By Chic

As you can see, we were all pretty fond of the 'Possibility' theme this month!

This months prize is a set of the newly released Mumma Bushka papers and Babushka doll mini album from Kaisercraft!

So get to it ladies!
We always love seeing what you create and can't wait to see what this month brings!

Take care and Happy Scrapping!
