Meet BB and some more inspiration from the girls !

Hi Everyone

Today i have another team member for you to meet and some more inspiration !

Meet Belinda :

Hi Peeps........I hope you are all as excited as I am....

My name is Belinda Lowe ( affectionetly known as BB )and I live in Hodgson Vale QLD. 

I am a lady of many talents - I have been hairdressing for 17 years and I also work casually at Target and  I am studying for my Bachelor of Nursing at university.

I have been scrapping for about 5 years now; it all started when my mum showed an interest and she asked me to help her....yeah right, all I did was take over so I figured I may as well just do it myself.

I have been married to my husband Adam for 11 years now and we have 4 children; Lachlan 12, Holly 8, Jett 5 and Alecia 2, we also have 2 dogs Trevor and Charlie, a budgie called Master Chief (who is secretly a girl but we don't tell the kids that) and quite a few fish.

I have not really got a scrapping style - I believe in ' You just make the most of what you have' - everyone is on a different scrap budget. We have a small local group of friends that get together once a month and its really nice to have friends with a common interest.

I have a blog that I probably should pay more attention to, its called 'Sunshine and Happiness Always' and you can find it at http://bblowe.blogspot.com ( PS - I like followers - hint hint nudge nudge).

I love soccer and am still playing even though I am starting to feel the pain after a match - I probably should quit but i just cant - and my second biggest love is MUSIC - sing, dance, scream......shuffle!!!!!

This is my first design team so I hope that I can inspire you to help build the memories for your family in the future. A picture is a picture but a picture with a story is a priceless memory that would otherwise be forgotten.

I hope you all enjoy visiting us and I will look forward to seeing all your layouts ( I may even stalk you if you are lucky - he he)

BBxxx

And now for some inspiration :

From Annette :

Great Lo Annette - another idea for the challenge - she has used the lyrics in her journalling.. clever chook !

And from Belinda :

This is great too, she has used the lyrics to suit her layout on this one. I love this BB, it looks so colourful!

Well thats it for now- hows your challenge entries going??

Dont forget to mail them to scrapthatsong@y7mail.com or in the linky side bar !

Happy Scrapping

Meet the Ct part 2 and AUGUST Challenge.

Hi and Welcome to August !

We have now fnalised our team so thanks to everyone who applied and if you didnt get through, we appreciate you trying again in another 6 mths.

First off, let me introduce one other team member to you..


Annette Edmonds..

I live in Orange NSW, work for Bunnings and have been scrapping for about 5 years.I have a 21 year old son, two dogs and cats plus a ferret (who is just adorable).I have been with my partner for 7 years but we don't live together which means I can spend as much as I want on myscrapping and not feel guilty, gotta love that.
I don't know how to  describe my style, if anything I would say that I am a neat scrapper, have trouble doing messy.I love using glimmer mist, ribbons, flowers and chippies and really enjoy using sketches, helps to bring it all together for me.No particular brand is my fav but atm I am loving Bo Bunny Butterfly Garden, Kaiser Lullaby Range and Echo Park Summer Days. 
I have met so many amazing woman through scrapping and had the opportunity to go to the Brisbane Scrapbooking and Papercraft Expo with two of them, Mary and Kim (poor Bec didn't know that we all knew each other when we applied), together we are a abit of a handful. We scrap together every second Saturday and have so much fun.
My blog is called pieces of me but i don't update it as much as i should, bit slack there. http://annetteedmonds.blogspot.com/
I love music, and singing out loud (been known to scare the neighbours lol), music is amazing it can lift you up, calm you down or make you cry, remind you of good times or bad. I love to have music playing while I scrap. Photography is something that I adore, always have my camera with me, so being able to scrap the pics I take is fantastic, a visual diary of my life for generations to come to revisit makes me know that in some way my life will go on forever.
Anyway that is enough rambling from me, enjoy this awesome blog and have fun.

Cheers

Annette  xo

We have decided to introduce you to some of our gorgeous CT team over the weekend.. as the next chall is due to be posted and i wanted you to know who has been designing them !
So far we have met Julene... so

Meet Mary...

Mary Bennetts

Hi My Name is Mary and I live In a Country Town called Orange in the Central West.
I have 3 Grown Children, Two GrandChildren and a spoilt dog called Scruffy. I have been married for over 30 Years to my Husband Tony that puts up with my scrap obsession.
I dont think I have a particular style, I think I adapt the style to suite my photo. I have been scrapping for over 7 years I would say, and I like to do something scrap related every day or I have withdrawals.
I have made so many, beautiful friends through this wonderful world of scrapbooking, scrappers are wonderful people. I have always loved photos and pretty papers, so scrapbooking is the perfect hobby for me (although its more than a hobby)
I also love Travel and reading.
Please feel free to visit my blog http://www.mbennetts.blogspot.com/

Cheers
Mary


Welcome Mary - we hope you enjoy your stay with us and cant wait to be inspired by you. !!


Meet Kim...

Kim Ewins

Hi, my name is Kim Ewins. I’m a married, stay at home mum, I live in the Central Tablelands region of NSW and my husband Roy and  we have 8* children, Alex-21, Rhys-19, Samantha-17, Mason-14, Madison-13, Sidney-9, McKenzie-7, Hugo-4. (That’s 5 boys and 3 girls.) No it’s not a blended family, they are all ours. The 2 eldest no longer live with us, Alex lives 10 minutes away with his partner, Ashlea and Rhys is at Armidale at UNE.

My life is full of children, keeping healthy, (my 17 yo DD and I plan to run, maybe fast walk, the City to Surf next year), I ‘am also studying  at present with the aim of going to university once my littlest man heads off to big school and of course, scrapbooking.

One of my favourite sayings is “Life is a balancing act, making it look easy is the trick”.

Hence the name of my blog

 My blog is www.lifeisabalancingactx8.blogspot.com I ‘am a current design team member for Craft queen and enjoying that with a passion.

I first started scrapping about 4 years ago... (So, wish I had started alot earlier.) I had been to a few Creative Memories parties during early 2002, but could not find the time for a hobby then??? Go figure.

I would describe my style as grunge, minimalistic, but occasionally I throw in something bright. I love stamping and altering backgrounds, and also love lots of layers and texture. I feel my style is still developing and boy am I having fun developing it....

I often use songs when I create...there are just so many fabulous lyric’s out there....also songs can take you back to a certain time in your life and evoke so much emotion...

Looking forward to working with the Creative Team here at Scrap that Song and with fellow scrappers, Like You.

Welcome Kim, looking forward to your wonderful and inspiring layouts based on our challenges. We hope you enjoy your stay... :)


This is gorgeous isnt it ?

Marie Cairns did a wonderful job with this and shes put so much detail into it.. if you have a close up of the photo, you'll notice her beadwork on the chippy.. just beautiful .. thanks Marie !!

Ensure your blog is linked as well.
Hurry though, theres only one more week left.. Look forward to receiving it.

The first challenge, have you done it yet??

Julene has!!

This is her take.. :)


Here's my layout for the July challenge. I've made most of it from "leftovers". The black hatching is the sticky stuff between October afternoon mini letters,the tree was using up left over paint,the border punch was an offcut,the buttons are from an old jumper and the photos were offcuts from various photos.The only 2 new things were the sun and the strip film shape thingy.This traces my daughter from her 17th birthday to her graduation from University.A difficult time of maturity for any girl. Thanks,Julene

JULENE.

Dont you love that top corner?? I love the photostrip frame, showcasing the different stages..Great work!!

Welcome Julene, thanks for coming aboard.
