WELCOME TO SCRAPPING THE MUSIC'S 5TH ANNIVERSARY PARTY, also known as "Battle of the Bands"!!!

Note: Edited on 8-15-12 to add new layouts from the design team, and reveal who chose the songs...

Welcome everyone, and thanks so much for joining us for our blogiversary party! This month, Scrapping The Music celebrates 5 years in blogland! We've got lots of fun  in store for you!  More challenges, and more ways to win!

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS...

Each design team member has chosen a special song as inspiration for you, and has created a layout or journal page to go with it.  Below you will see the six videos, along with one piece of artwork for each. The twist is - we are not telling you which design team member goes with which song/artpiece!

We've got a total of 7 (SEVEN) 6 (SIX) Challenges that you can participate in! 

CHALLENGE 1:  Guess the artist

Your mission for this challenge - should you choose to accept it, is to make a list, guessing which design team member created which layout.  All of our names and photos are listed in the left sidebar. You are welcome to page back through the blog to see if you can figure out our styles, to help you make your list.  The person with the most correct on their list will win the challenge.  If more than one person guesses them all correctly, then the correct lists will go into a random draw.

The prize for this challenge is a $15 paypal transfer.
The deadline for this challenge is August 12th (Sunday) at midnite (STM time).
 

CHALLENGES 2 - 7: Submit your creation(s)

You can submit a layout, journal page, or whatever you like, for one song, each of the songs, or anything in between.  It's up to you!  Each time you submit something, you are entered into a random draw for that song's prize.  So, let's say you submit 6 layouts - one for each song: Then you would be entered into all six drawings.  Make sense?

The prizes for this challenge are listed below each video/artpiece.
There will be a slideshow as usual, to showcase the work of everyone who enters, and one person will be chosen for the Hall of Fame.
The deadline for this challenge is August 27 (Monday) at midnite. 

(Note - There are two different deadlines, one for the lists, and one for the layouts.)

Are you ready?  Here we go!!!

"Plannin' out a route" are the lyrics I chose. The title white on white on the right corner is IRL easier to see than on this scan.

I love the line in this song where he goes "have your friends collect your records and then change your number..."  I don't know if they still do this kind of thing (with today's CDs and itunes), but it made me think about the old days, when the sure sign that you were breaking up with someone was taking your records back. Ha.  That in turn, made me think about my own record collection, and my attachment to it...

The photos were taken by our Canadian friends. On the back I read the words "A bit of snow" and "A little bit more".
