Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it's only right
To think about the girl you love and hold her tight
So happy together

If I should call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to me and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
So happy together

I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

So happy together, How is the weather
So happy together, We're happy together
So happy together, Happy together
So happy together, So happy together

Week #12 America The Beautiful

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Those of us stateside, I hope you enjoyed your (hopefully) weekend off and saw lots of fireworks!! Yesterday was Independence Day in the United States and to celebrate that, we have picked a very patriotic song for you this week. I hope all of our participants abroad will still give it a go. This layout does not need to incorporate patriotism at all. You could create a red, white and blue layout, or even one in a majestic purple or amber shade!

Our sponsor this week is the AMAZINGNikki Sivils. Just look at the yummy goodies she's offered up to the lucky winner of this week's challenge!!!


Nikki Sivils, owner and designer of Nikki Sivils, Scrapbooker, just shared a sneak peak on her blog of one of her new adorable lines, Blueberry Hill. Nikki has been scrapbooking for over 20 years and recently had her longtime dream come true when she started her own scrapbooking company in 2009. Nikki works alongside her husband, Dan, who has gone from attorney to the co-owner of a scrapbook company. This has been quite an exciting change for Dan, and Nikki loves having her “in-house counsel”! Nikki is often asked where the inspiration for her unique lines of scrapbooking paper and embellishments comes from. The answer – everywhere and everything! From a trip to the grocery store (where she saw some fresh, plump blueberries) to a man’s crazy pants on an airplane (the inspiration for her Flaming Butterfly line); Nikki never knows what will inspire her next. Nikki Sivils’ designs are driven by imagination and are meant to inspire you to express yourself in meaningful and fun ways. Nikki Sivils, Scrapbooker papers use vibrant colors with unique patterns and often contain irresistible characters meant to inspire (and tickle!) you. For great lay-out ideas and inspiration, the latest news, or the chance to win some great product, be sure to follow Nikki on Twitter and Facebook.

Before we get to this week's song, I am posting a new DT call. We have a few spots available to join our DT. If you would be interested see HERE for details.

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare of freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!

O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for halcyon skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the enameled plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till souls wax fair as earth and air
And music-hearted sea!

O beautiful for pilgrims feet,
Whose stem impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till paths be wrought through
wilds of thought
By pilgrim foot and knee!

O beautiful for glory-tale
Of liberating strife
When once and twice,
for man's avail
Men lavished precious life!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till selfish gain no longer stain
The banner of the free!

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till nobler men keep once again
Thy whiter jubilee!
