Scrap It With a Song

Week 33 - Lucky

We have a fun, happy-go-lucky, lovey-dovey song for you this week. There are so many ways you can take this beyond that theme though if you aren't feeling it. The song is Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat. This is our last week having access to the Inlinkz thumbnail link app. If anyone has any suggestions for a reliable and free link app, please pass it along. We can continue using it as a text link app, but boy do the thumnails make it nice. :) :)

Our sponsor this week is Toucan Scraps. She designs digital scrapbooking and craft printable kits. Her products include digi-paper packs, pdf printable scrap kits, digital scrapbooking kits, quickpages and ready to print gift boxes. Angela sells in 3 stores, and today she is offering the winner of this challenge a pack of 6 digi papers (8 x 8 inches) from her store at Stitchy Bear & I Did It Creations Crafting Boutique.

========================================

Do you hear me?

I'm talking to you

Across the water

Across the deep blue ocean

Under the open sky

Oh my, baby I'm trying

Boy I hear you in my dreams

I feel your whisper across the sea

I keep you with me in my heart

You make it easier when life gets hard

Lucky I'm in love with my best friend

Lucky to have been where I have been

Lucky to be coming home again

Ohhhohhhohhhohhohhohhhohh

They don't know how long it takes

Waiting for a love like this

Every time we say goodbye

I wish we had one more kiss

I'll wait for you, I promise you I will

Lucky we're in love in every way

Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed

Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea

To an island where we'll meet

You'll hear the music fill the air

I'll put a flower in your hair

Though the breezes through the trees

Move so pretty, you're all I see

As the world keeps spinning round

You hold me right here right now

========================================

This week we are saying farewell to two of our amazing designers. Liz and Ana are super busy with other commitments and are going to retire from the DT here. Let's all send them out with a great challenge and I hope they'll find time to play along in the future.

The challenge will run from now until Sunday Dec 5th at 11:59pm CST. That's 12 whole extra hours. If for some reason Mr. Linky goes missing early feel free to leave your link in the comments. :)

Week 32 - Winter Wonderland

**Our Mr. Linky expired for some reason 12 hours early. If you complete a project for this challenge I will give you until 11:59 CST to add your project in the comments to be included**

This song has been covered by many, many singers. It's a standard on most Christmas albums of the last several decades. Winter Wonderland!!! Remember you can use the lyrics directly as a part of your title, sentiment or journaling. You can also allow them to just inspire your creation without using them directly. Think of creating a wintery scene or using snowy weather photos maybe. Your imagination is your limit, but make sure if you stretch it a bit far, leave us a breadcrumb trail in your post.

Our sponsor this week is once again the AMAZING The Stamping Boutique. Several members of our design team even got in on the fun and used their images, myself included. I just love their winter line.

I'm Tracey Malnofski, the artist and owner of The Stamping Boutique. My team and I are very happy to sponsor Scrap it Witha Song this week. My store has been open since September 2009. I've worked for InStyleStamps, Squigglefly, and TheDigiShack. I'm a professional artist and an active member of the Artist' Guild in my community. I have quite a busy household with a husband, 3 teenagers, 5 mini-dachshunds and an Appaloosa mare. It's noisy, but I love them all. I'm truly blessed.

"The Stamping Boutique" is dedicated to quality products and original artwork. We not only provide wonderful digital images in our store, but also several lines of red rubber images. Our designers are chosen for their character and personality,as well as, their beautiful designs. We work hard to give you our very best. Thank you so much for having us as your sponsor this week.

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man,
But you can do the job
When you're in town.

Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the other kids knock him down.

When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
