Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades Challenge

Theresa has a great challenge going on over at Scrapbooking/Crafting Friends! Check it out!

Hello, is everyone ready for fall? Back to school and all that good stuff? I was trying to find a song that is fitting to this time of year and I know you all have some pictures to go with the song I picked for this month.

Song #3 is:
Future's so bright, i gotta wear shades
by Timbuk 3

Lyrics
I study nuclear science
I love my classes
I got a crazy teacher, he wears dark glasses
Things are going great, and they're only getting better
I'm doing all right, getting good grades
The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades

I've got a job waiting for my graduation
Fifty thou a year -- buys a lot of beer
Things are going great, and they're only getting better
I'm doing all right, getting good grades
The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades

Well I'm heavenly blessed and worldly wise
I'm a peeping-tom techie with x-ray eyes
Things are going great, and they're only getting better
I'm doing all right, getting good grades
The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades

I study nuclear science
I love my classes
I got a crazy teacher, he wears dark glasses
Things are going great, and they're only getting better
I'm doing all right, getting good grades
The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades
I gotta wear shades, I gotta wear shades

Here is the YouTube video in case you want more inspiration:

The challenge will be open until September 30, at 11:59 pm. To be considered for the prize, you must upload your layout to this thread. I will randomly pick a winner from those who participate. You must use the song title or some part of the lyrics on your layout. I will again send out an RAK for a random person who completes and uploads a layout for the challenge. =)

Friends Card

Here's another image from the Best Friends Set over at MyGrafico. Other members of the Design Team from the Scrapbooking/Crafting Friends site are working with this set and the feedback has been so great so far...many of them have commented that it is their favorite set yet!

Scrappin' Whispers and a few cards just for fun...

I remember this game as TELEPHONE but below you can find the official description on the Network along with the link. This was my first time playing along. It was FUN and it's gets you thinking outside the box...or in this case the page! SEE BELOW...

Come and play a round of scrapping whispers! It's a fun scrapping game based on the old kid's game of Chinese whispers where we pass on a secret LO.

And here are a few cards that I did just for the heck of it. I do have some others I need to post soon as they were featured in ReadySetCreate! YAY! Anyhow...the HI one that is pictured above was done mostly with old Creative Memories supplies and the one below I did with Recycled Scrapbooking Paper, a Rub-On, Gems, and the rose is from the Cricut Cartridge: MICKEY AND FRIENDS. This past weekend I went to AC Moore and they had Cricut Cartridges on sale for $49. These Disney ones are usually $99 each...so I ended up getting this one and the MICKEY FONT Cartridge for less than the price of 1 at it's normal price. I was so jazzed! YAY!

Twilight Pages

I did these two pages for our CROP HOP Challenge - Theme was TWILIGHT. Just for fun!

A Few Projects

Here is a page I Did for a 2's Challenge over at Scrapbooking and Crafting Friends. Denise posted it and it was part of our Tremendous Tuesday's Group. This week was TWO's - we could only put 2 of each item on the page. I think I was successful...2 of each...photos, photo mats, pieces of paper, flowers, gem brads, gem stars, adhesive phrases, ribbon, buttons, and 2 diff inks on the yellow paper.
Another group we have on the network is Cuttlebug Users and Nicole posted the first challenge - it was to use 1 Embossing Folder you use the least. I hate paisley and if I used that one I would be amazed...I don't think I did and the 2nd one I like just haven't used yet...so I did two!
