Welcome to the DSO January Scraplift Challenge, the first for 2010.
This month I chose the following layout from Kerri. I adore the colours and the blocking. The whole layout reminds me of a crazy quilt which is something I would love to sew but I do not have the patience.
Using the above layout to inspire you, create a new layout using either the colours, theme or layout and post your layouts here. Remember to leave a comment here on this post on the DSO Challenge Blog together with a link to your layout so that we can leave you “summa luvvin”.
Don’t forget to leave a valid email address on your comment otherwise I cannot send you the links for the posting bonus. The email addresses will NOT be published.
Here’s is what you are playing for this month:

The Lyrics
This time around, Its Beautiful Dreamer by Stephen Foster.
in case video does not show or play…click here…
Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
Sounds of the rude world, heard in the day,
Lull’d by the moonlight have all pass’d away!
Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,
List while I woo thee with soft melody;
Gone are the cares of life’s busy throng,
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea
Mermaids are chanting the wild lorelie;
Over the streamlet vapors are borne,
Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn.
Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,
List while I woo thee with soft melody;
Gone are the cares of life’s busy throng,
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart,
E’en as the morn on the streamlet and sea;
Then will all clouds of sorrow depart,
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!

Howdy Challengers!! Jodiann Here!
Welcome to the NEW DSO Challenge Blog! So glad you made it!
This month in honor of this new beginning and the first of many positive changes for DSO the chosen lyrics are Sunrise by Nicole Nordeman.
See Video on You Tube
If I had the chance
To go back again
Take a different road, bear a lighter load
Tell an easy story
I would walk away
With my yesterdays
And I would not trade what is broken for beauty only
Every valley
Every bitter chill
Made me ready to climb back up the hill
And find that . . .
You are sunrise
You are blue skies
How would I know the morning
If I knew not midnight?
You’re my horizon
You’re the light of a new dawn
So thank You, thank You
That after the long night, You are sunrise
There’s a moment when
Faith caves in
There’s a time when every soul is certain God is gone
But every shadow is evidence of sun
And every tomorrow holds out hope for us
For every one of us
You are sunrise
You are blue skies
How would I know the morning
If I knew not midnight?
You’re my horizon
You’re the light of a new dawn
So thank You, thank You
That after the long night, You are sunrise
You alone will shine
You alone can resurrect this heart of mine
You are sunrise
You are blue skies
How would I know the morning
If I knew not midnight?
You’re my horizon
You’re the light of a new dawn
So thank You, thank You
That after the long night, You are sunrise
You are sunrise

This month’s chosen layout was by Nani. I adore the layered frames placed randomly over the photos and all the overlapping layers. You can leave her some love here.
The idea is to use the layout to inspire you, either in colours, layout or theme and scrap something of your own.
This is how the new blog challenges work:
Post your layout in the gallery HERE as per normal and then leave a comment here on the blog, below before December 31st, along with a link to your layout in the gallery so that we can leave you some love.
This is what you are playing for this month.
Hugs
