Karyn_Sue's NSD Beatles Challenge - UPDATED WITH WINNER

Post by Karyn_Sue »

You cherries all did a great job with this challenge. The most used song was "Ticket to Ride" and 6 cherries will be getting extra sprinkles for choosing less well-known songs, 2 of which were so obscure even *I* had to google them!!

The WINNER of the amazing Sizziz thinlits collection is #15 The Crafty Lady!  Congratulations!!!!  Please contact Jessica at jessica@acherryontop.com to claim your prize.

It's hard to believe, but the Beatles first toured America 60 (yes, SIXTY) years ago.  Also hard to believe is that they really only recorded together for 8 (eight) short years from 1962 until 1970. Yet in that time, the influence that they had on modern music was profound and lasting. I would bet that many cherries here, who weren't even born before they had disbanded, could sing along to at least one Beatles song.

Also impressive is the catalogue of music that they recorded in such a short period of time. And that's the heart of this challenge!  I want you to select your title from the Beatle's catalogue. NOTE: While John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr all went on to distinguish themselves on their own - ONLY titles recorded and released during the Beatles time together as a band will qualify. Don't worry - that leaves you with 213 songs to choose from! Also, because of their extensive collection, I will require that song titles must be used AS IS.

I invite you to delve a little into their discography and maybe even pick a "lesser known" song - such as one that was never released as a single. (HINT: there may be sprinkles). I did so myself. I chose the song "Mother Nature's Son" for this layout of my DGS on a winter scout encampment. A true Minnesotan, Penn loves to be outdoors in any weather! Mother Nature's son is a beautiful song from the "White Album", written and sung by Paul McCartney (although credited as Lennon/McCartney).  A talented musician, he also plays all the instruments except the horns!

If you're interested I've linked it here: Mother Nature's Son. It's not very long.

And here's my "mother nature's son" himself!

The winner of this challenge will be selected at random and will receive this awesome prize of an assortment of Sizzix thinlits, generously donated by Sizzix!

Now for the boring stuff:
1) All entries must be received by Friday, 5/17 at 11:59pm EDT.
2) All titles MUST use a song written and recorded by the Beatles while together as a band from 1962-1970.
3) All song titles must be used AS IS.
4) If you have any questions, feel free to pm me!!
5) Most importantly - Have fun & Good luck!

Yeah!!!!  Some of those lesser known songs are quite beautiful!  Can't wait to see what you come up with and what title you choose!

Fun challenge

I'm old enough to remember when the Beatles hit the scene. I have vivid memories of the day after their appearance on the Ed Sullivan show. Of course all of my friends and I had to choose our favorite Beatle (I chose George - he looked so soulful to 13 year old me). It's going to be hard to choose a song but I'm up for it.

Feel free to use that title - I think it is an awesome one for scouts camp - well, obviously I do. And even though I "used it first" it will still qualify as lesser known!

This is a fun one! I have a few ideas floating around. My son was just telling me that he had watched the movie "Yesterday", about the guy who is suddenly the only person that remembers the Beatles. Now I think I need to watch it this weekend!

It's a cute movie and I read that the surviving Beatles and the families of the others approved of the project.

My 8 year old just started a Spotify playlist of Beatles songs because she kept singing several and my husband connected-the-dots for her.  She will have to share with me so I can get some inspo!  She will be excited since she has decided to be my scrap buddy this weekend.  Funny part will be she does not know which one's are lesser known.
