A little break... and a big thanks!

Hello to all our dear readers!

As you can see in the previous post, we have a DT call for this amazing blog. There are some changes coming and that's why we’re having a little break this month. We don't have songs to inspire you, but we have some other things we want to share with you all...

First of all, we have a little sad news. Kristin, Anne and Annamaria decided that it’s time for some changes and they are leaving our SIWAS-family. Of course we are sad, but we understand their decision. Girls, we're gonna miss you all, thanks thanks thanks for all your hard work on the team, your great inspirations. We give you a big virtual grouphug and wish you all the best! And of course we hope to see you again some time here at SIWAS…

But not only these girls are leaving, our great administrator and engine of our team for the past few years says goodbye too. Melania, you were always the one who made everything looks perfect.  You were choaching us behind the scenes and arranged everything what’s related to the blog. You have found a wonderful candidate to continue this lovely blog, so you’re passing it on now. Thank you for all your time, inspiration and really sweet words and support. You build this team, and now we’ll continue that way! We also wish you all the best, and a big applause and grouphug for you! I think it is not needed to say we will miss you.. that’s obvious I think! But we also hope to see you here again sometime!

But now we have a little rest… and we need some new DT-members! Does that 'job' sounds great to you? Read our last post below (or click here) for the details, and we hope to welcome some of you in our DT!

But that’s not all for now… We also have something to win for all of our lovely followers! Because we are so happy that you’re following us, we made a little Candy this month. 

die cuts, metal embellisments, cork embellisments, doilies, stickers and pretty 6x6 papers plus a small surprise for the lucky winner !!!!

Mid-month reveal May + April challenge and giveaway winners

Hi there, it's time for the mid-month DT reveal.

Each month here at Scrap it with a song we give you a pop and a rock song as inspiration to create any kind of paper project (altered canvas, card, layout, ATC, art journal…) you choose !!!

You can use lyrics, title, or maybe the video to inspire you: here is a link to the challenge rules.

Here are the songs for May:

ROCK:

ARTIC MONKEYS: DO I WANNA KNOW?

POP:

ART GARFUNKEL: BRIGHT EYES

And this is wat the other part of the  DT Members made of it:


ROCK TEAM

Tynke

I based this LO on the line "Can we be together?" I used the word together in the LO, because the answer to that question is definitely YES!!!

Kicka

The phrase DO YOU EVER GET THAT FEAR THAT YOU CAN'T SHIFT THE TIDE THAT STICKS AROUND LIKE SOMETHING IN YOUR TEETH? it reminded me of the fear of my boyfriend for fun - bob that we are in the mountains.

POP TEAM

Chara

I was inspired by the word Bright to create a bright colorful summer card !!

Anne

I was inspired by the song title, "Bright Eyes"

Andrea

I was inspired by the song title, "Bright Eyes".  My son, Cole, has huge, bright, blue eyes.  On his 4th birthday, I placed the stand of lit cupcakes in front of him and his eyes just lit up.  I'm so grateful that we captured the moment.  This month's challenge inspired me to use this photo and document one of his"bright-eyed" moment.

Come and join us before the end of the month, then you make a chance to win this nice RAK:

The Design Team will also choose their favorite project and the winner will be our Guest Designer for a future challenge!

And now, we have to announce some winners:

• the winner of our giveaway at the mid-month post of April (amazing music inspired Snapshot stickers by Paper House) is  Veronica Grosselli
• random winner of April challenge is number 2, Patacake Pages (you will receive the little RAK)

I had fun making this page about my son and what he has to offer the world ...the world and then life he wants to lead is ahead of him!!!

Melania

I used word "secrets" for this pic shot in the Montreal Botanical Garden in 2010

I used part of the lyrics, " Oh, is it a dream?!" as title: I was in US, in a 1$ store with billions of cute stuff... really a dream! There were also scrapbooking stuff :)
