Hear Ye! hear Ye! (#2)

Soooo it was supposed to be all under wraps and secret BUT seeing as the few people who already knew have invited a few other people and so on and so forth, and people are starting to all catch on, I might as well let the cat out of the bag...

Songbirds is now at Ning!
Yep, we've caught up with the new fandangled technology...
I've attempted to build a passable site (and it's looking a bit fab, i do beleive)...
and we now have a gallery, a forum, groups etc!
We will be holding a launch party next Friday and Saturday with giveaways and spot challenges so kick off the excitement before our first regular challenge on the 1st of July!
It's the next generation of Songbird Scraps and I think if you check it out, you'll might be pleasantly suprised!

We will also have a special guest designed for the month of July!

Junes challenge will be finished up here at the blog and I will post the first July challenge here just to give you a bit of time to get the hang of the new site, but after that, you'll need to join up at our new site in order to join in...

So head on over to:
http://songbirdscraps.ning.com/

and check out the new scene!

SO Exciting!

Hope to see you there!

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

First point of business, two entries for the June challenge have made their way to my inbox:

This one from Emily Lewis...

And this one from Amanda Taylor...

Secondly, a big announcement for Songbirds will be made at Debs Creations forum later today.

Since the ladies there have always been such loyal followers of Songbirds, the news will be announced there exclusively first!

If you don't think you can wait until the weekend, you can check out Debs forum for the news later today!

And just between you and me, it's fabulous and amazing and exciting!

June Second Challenge

We are back with our second fabulous challenge for June!

These are some gorgeous lyrics ladies and they really challenged our creative team, so hopefully you'll find they do the same for you!

So without further ado...

Corinne Bailey Rae - Girl Put Your Records On

Three little birds, sat on my window.

And they told me I don't need to worry.

Summer came like cinnamon

So sweet,

Little girls double-dutch on the concrete.
Maybe sometimes, we've got it wrong, but it's alright

The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same

Oh, don't you hesitate.
Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song

You go ahead, let your hair down

Sapphire and faded jeans,

I hope you get your dreams,

Just go ahead, let your hair down.


Paul Kelly - Change Your Mind

If I could make the mountains

Fall into the sea

Maybe I could make you fall for me
Would you change your mind, change your mind, change your mind
All the stars keep turning

Wheeling all night long

I wish you'd turn and hear my song
If I could make wild horses

Come and get their hay

Maybe I could make you sway my way
I bet you want to see what our creative team have come up with as well, right?

Sapphire Eyes - by Chic

Facourite Songs - By Peggy

My Three Little Birds - By Jane

Favourite Song - By Kirsti

Go Ahead - By Skye

Shelly has taken this challenge off due to a household full of sick kiddies, but she'll be back and promises you all that she'll rock the July challenges!

We have some exciting changes in the works for July that are a bit hush hush at the moment - but we look super forward to revealing them to you and having you move forward with us into the next generation of Songbirds!

Look forward to seeing your beautiful challenge entries!

Happy Scrapping!

Introducing the Songbird Team!

The decision has been made, the girls have been notified, and the love has been spread!

And now it is your turn, dear reader, to meet our new Creative Team!

Skye will take on the role of CT Co-Ordinator,

and her four Songbirds will be:

Jane Smith (SA)

Kristi Brandis (WA)

Chiquita James (WA)

Shelly Williams (QLD)

as well as our international designer

Peggy Schenkels

who joins us all the way from Belgium!

The girls were chosen not only for their high quality of work, but also for their diverse styles, and we beleive that everyone will be able to find inspiration in at least one of the girls styles!

Their interpretations of the lyrics were amazing!

We are so glad to have them on board and hope that you will support them by taking part in our challenges!

Everyday for the next week, we will be introducing you to one of our girls, and showcasing their applications so you can get to know a little more about them!

Be sure to chek back tomorrow to meet our first Spotlight Songbird!

Until tomorrow, take care!
