Welcome to Day 1 of our Oscraps 19th Birthday Party Celebration! My name is Cheryl and I'll be your host for this challenge. Let's get this party started!!
We're going to be using Music Inspiration for this challenge. The song that immediately popped into my head is "Hey Nineteen" by Steely Dan. Let's get this party started with this song - I can see you all dancing right now.
Now that you're all rocking out, here is what this fun challenge is all about. I found a very cool site called "19 Of The Best Songs About Being 19". Of course, my favorite "Hey Nineteen" is on the list.
You can use ANY of the 19 songs listed on the site, linked above. I have listed a few of the titles that I thought would be easy to create a layout from. (There are videos for each song, which might give you some additional inspiration.)
“Not Nineteen Forever” By The Courteeners
“Once And Never Again” By The Long Blondes
“19” By Landon Cube
“Twinkle Lights” By The Sonder Bombs
"Perfect Place" by Lorde
A couple of these are pretty "generic" which will give you more latitude when you create your layouts. They are all about being nineteen. You DO NOT have to use any of these titles on your pages. You are certainly welcomed to use any of them, however. I used "Hey 19" on my page. Just tell me, when you post your layouts here in this thread, which song inspired you.
Here's the layout I created for this challenge. I hope it sparks your "Nineteenth Birthday Party" creativity.
Before we go any further, here are the prizes that are being given out for this challenge:
FIRST PRIZE = $10
Maya de Groot
SECOND PRIZE = $5
Art Addicts Designs
THIRD PRIZE = $5
Daydream Designs
Here's my layout and I hope it gives you lots of inspiration. I used "Hey 19" on mine, but again, you don't have to - only if you want to. I went with an American Bandstand theme, which takes me back to my teenage years.
I've done a few layouts with "twinkle lights" and thought I'd share this one to give you more ideas.
I can't wait to see what all of your creative layouts!! Just have fun and don't overthink it.
