With everything that went on with the mb crash and me not having access to my participants I extended the due date for this challenge to 11:59 pm July 7th.
This month's music challenge was inspired by Denise's thread "Do any songs make you teary eyed?" I don't want this to necessarily be a "sad" thread, so my challenge is for you to pick a song that has a deep meaning for you. It can be a song that makes you teary eyed, or it can be a song that makes you extremely happy. It just should have some meaning to you. Maybe it reminds you of how you feel about your dh or one of your children. Maybe it is the song you danced to at your wedding. Maybe it reminds you of something silly you or someone you know does whenever they hear it. Maybe it reminds you of a lost loved one. Just pick a song that when you hear it it has a special meaning for you. Use the song title, or a lyric from the song, as your title. Then scrap about it. Journaling would be great but I'm not making it a requirement in case it is something you don't wish to journal about but would still like to scrap the memory. Just let us know what the special meaning is that the song has for you.
As usual open to paper, digi, hybrid, cards, crafts, or whatever this inspires you to create.
Multiple submissions are allowed.
May be combined with one other challenge as long as that challenge allows it.
Please post your creations to this thread (there will not be a spot in the gallery for it) by the end of the month. A random winner will win a $5 ACOT gift card from me! Entries will be accepted up until the time I pick my winner.
I apologize for not doing a new layout this month, but I am posting one from my gallery that I did a while back. Denise's thread brought back the memory of a song that has a very deep meaning to me… "Can't Stop Loving You" by Phil Collins. It was a song that was very popular when Cider was sick and it used to come on the radio almost every time I made the 30 minute trip to the vet with him, which was quite often. The first line… "so you're leaving, in the morning" would just set me off and the whole song just hit home because I knew I was losing him. I would cry my eyes out the whole time it played. And after losing him I couldn't hear it without bawling my eyes out. It's been 11 years and it still makes me so teary eyed when I hear it. I call it Cidie's song. This is the page I scrapped about it...
My journaling reads: In the winter of 2003 Cider became sick with cancer. He was only six years old and one day he seemed to be fine and then the next thing we knew he was sick. Cider fought hard and we fought along with him. The ride to the vet was far and we made many trips back and forth all winter and spring. That year the weather was relentless, and we made most of our trips in pouring rain, snow storms, and even a blizzard. I used to refer to those storms as tears from the sky, as it seemed as though the world knew the intense sadness in our lives. During most of our trips, the song “Can’t Stop Loving You” by Phil Collins would come on the radio and the lyrics would hit me hard. As soon as it started with “so you’re leaving…” I would burst into tears. The song would play almost every drive we took to the vet and to this day when I hear it I always get tears in my eyes. I refer to it as “Cidie’s Song” and it will always have a special meaning to me.
I hope you all have fun with this. After my dd's wedding I hope to scrap a new layout for this challenge too. I'll update if I do.
