Keyword: Nov09VSBNTop10
Day/Date: Saturday, November 21

As soon as I heard the theme for the upcoming VSBN, the song �Old Time Rock & Roll� popped immediately into my head. This song, at least to my generation, is best known from the movie Risky Business.
So the challenge is for you to build a scrap page or double page spread using the Rock and Roll Technique, which can be found in the Resources Section, and also use a �Risky Technique� (i.e. something that has been around, but you have never tried, another Oldie but Goodie)
1. ALL VSBN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY 10:00 PM EST ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28.
2. You have 2 hours to complete the challenge (unless otherwise stated).
3. Please remember to put in the correct keyword, Nov09VSBNTop10 , when uploading your image. Copying and pasting the challenge keyword is recommended to avoid typos.

Title: A Moment Like This(sung by Kelly Clarkson, 2002) Hostess: Mary Pat (Mary_Pat419) Keyword: Nov09VSBNTop9 Day/Date: Saturday, November 21 Time: 2:00 PM
The past decade musically really belongs to the reality TV show American Idol. It all started with their first winner and now super star, Kelly Clarkson. Her finale song was designed for the first American Idol singer and who can forget the way she sang it! It was such an emotional song and the words seem to ring true for her and her moment.
My challenge is to take any phrase (full or partial) from the song to make it reflect your moment! It can be serious, funny, or dramatic�whatever the feel of the moment. Just be sure to share with us in your title or journaling how you used the phrase.
What if I told you it was all meant to be? Would you believe me, would you agree? Its almost that feeling that we've met before so tell me that you don�t think Im crazy when I tell your love is here and now.
A Moment like this. Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this. Some people search forever for that one special kiss. I can�t believe it�s happening to me. Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this.
Everything changes, but beauty remains. Something so tender I can�t explain. Well I may be dreaming but til I awake. Can we make the dream last forever? And I'll cherish all the love we share for a moment like this.
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this. Some people search forever for that one special kiss. I can�t believe it�s happening to me. Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this.
The speed of waiting love of all. I wanna know that you will catch me when I fall. So let me tell you this. Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this...
Some people search a lifetime for a moment like this. Some people search forever for that one special kiss. I can�t believe it�s happening to me. Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this

Nov09VSBNTop7~Saturday November 21st~ 8:00 PM~ Black or White
Title: Black or White (by Michael Jackson, 1991)
Hostess: Jen (Jenstampingpad)
Keyword: Nov09VSBNTop7
Day/Date: Saturday November 21st
Time: 8:00 PM
Growing up listening to Michael Jackson, I truly am amazed at his talent as not only a wonderful singer but a performer as well. His movie, "This is It,� was eye opening to me.
My challenge to you is to create a layout that is inspired by the title or the lyrics of the song. Plus create a layout only using black and white. This includes papers, embellishments, inks, and photos as well.
Check out this site with the lyrics and video to help inspire you: Black or White lyrics

Arguably, Nirvana was the defining artist for the 90s decade, introducing alternative grunge rock into the mainstream. Kurt Cobain�s untimely death in 1994 was the end of the band, but Dave Grohl, Nirvana drummer, started Foo Fighters in 1995 as his one-man project. Soon, other performers were added, and the band was born. In 1997, the Foo Fighters released the song Everlong, a song about an all-consuming love. My favorite line goes �The only thing I'll ever ask of you You've got to promise not to stop when I say when�
This song holds personal significance for me as well, as it was one of "our songs� when my husband and I started dating. Hearing it still brings back a flood of memories about the new-ness of love, that all-consuming desire to be with someone, and the excitement of being with someone new and �wondering if anything could ever be this real again.�
The song also reminds me of my longing for a child. Having struggled for 5 years to get pregnant, there was a very real possibility that I would never become pregnant. The line �Hello, I�ve waited here for you. Everlong.� reminds me of the first moment I was able to see and hold my baby girl for the first time� that feeling of waiting and hoping for so long and finally finding that type of eternal, bonding love that you know from the first instant your life has been transformed.
My challenge to you is to create a layout about that all-consuming love you have for someone: your spouse, your child, your dog, whether you want to focus on the beginnings of that love, or how that love has endured. The central focus of this page should be a photo, preferably a large photo to show the object of your affection. (Or you could use a series of small photos grouped together as a single unit.)
Bonus points for using any of the lines from the lyrics on the layout.
(For those of you who don�t know, Foo Fighters is my favorite band, Dave Grohl is my rock-star boyfriend , and Everlong is one of my favorite songs. Nothing better than hearing it performed live in concert!!!)

I come home in the morning light

Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells what you gonna do with your life
Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have
That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls - they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have
That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Girls - they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun,
They want to have fun,
They want to have fun...

VSBN Mini Master Thread ~ Rockin' Through The Decades: Top 10 SCS Countdown
Title: Crazy (sung by Seal, 1991 )
Hostess: Val (fresshe)
Keyword: Dec09VSBNTop4
Day/Date: Saturday, December 19
Time: 2:00 PM
What I have noticed the most about scrapbooking is the fact that when I go out and about I �see� more things now and the things I �see� , I see differently, almost like I have a fresher, sharper perspective on the world around me. I stand in awe more! And although the lyrics to this song are a bit �out there� for me, I stop and listen each time I hear this song-and maybe that�s the part of me that�s a little crazy-because I do stop and listen and look and see- So how does all this translate into a scrap book page?
My challenge to you is to make your design something out of the ordinary for you-if you normally scrap simple �add some extra embellies, if you normally grunge things up, leave them clean, if you normally have everything in clean straight lines, then arrange your photos with a scattered look. The choices are endless-your challenge is simply to change your style a bit so �you see thing, The size , Of which you've never known before�. And of course you have to tell us how you changed things up!
Bonus for finding a way to use some of these �crazy� lyrics on your page and adding a little yellow to your page!
READ THE LYRICS AND LISTEN TO THE SONG HERE-well the part that counts
And then you see things
The size
Of which you've never known before
They'll break it
Someday...
Only child know....
Them things
The size
Of which you've never known before

Well we can�t have a Rockin� VSBN without the number one band of all time�THE BEATLE�S! The first time I remember hearing the Beatles and liking their music was when I was about 8 years old and listening to a record at a friend�s house: Sgt Pepper�s Lonely Hearts Club Band. This was about 1974 but the song was released in 1967 to a lot of controversy over the lyrics. Being that young, the lyrics in whole did not mean anything to me but I loved the sound. The song has such an interesting sound and to me definitely falls under the psychedelic rock sound�though you don�t have to be under the influence to appreciate the sound! I grew up in Philadelphia and being a young child of the �70s, psychedelic art and music influence was all around. Being a kid, the bright crazy colors appealed to my sensibilities. Today I wouldn�t decorate my house with psychedelic art but I can use it for inspiration for a scrapbook page.
My challenge to you is to create a �Day In The Life� page using psychedelic art for your inspiration. Make it a day in YOUR life�this page is all about you but with that �60s vibe!

Me and You and a Dog Named Boo" (sung by Lobo, 1971)
Title: "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo" (sung by Lobo, 1971) Hostess: Carol (grammawamma) Keyword: DEC09VSBNTop1 Day/Date: Saturday, December 19, 2009 Time: 10:00 PM (EST)
�Me and You and a Dog Named Boo.� Believe it or not�this was OUR song! I know, not your traditional �OUR� song. We just celebrated our 37th anniversary last month! It was shortly after this song was released that we took off on our own adventure. We were married in November, 1972. I had never been outside of a 4 state area in my life! That is until January, 1973 when we left our home town in southern IL and headed for California! Not big LA as in the song, but smaller Vallejo. DH was in the Navy and had to attend school there. We found a small basement apartment and moved in with our few belongings. The next morning we ate breakfast at a small restaurant that had those mini juke boxes on each table. Of course, we put in our change and played this song! Right after breakfast we headed for a pet store, paid $10, bought a dog and named him Boo! Being in the Navy, we traveled a lot in the first few years of our marriage. As one of our many moves approached I bought dh a tee shirt and had �Back on the Road Again� printed on it!
So that is my big adventure!
Now for inspiration you need to click on the link and listen to this golden oldie from the 1970�s. Yes, you really do need to! After all, you may have never heard it or you may just need a refresher, but click on the link! You�ll be glad you did!
My challenge for you��make a layout of an adventure or of your travels!!!! It could be recent, or like mine from years gone by or maybe an adventure had by one of your children. I will let you interpret what is meant by adventure.
Here�s the requirements:
1. Journaling is a MUST! How else will you tell your adventure?!!!
2. We need RED on our LO for the bright red Georgia clay.
3. I want to see something free in your LO! (as in the chorus��How I love being a free man.�) This may be something that you have won or was given to you or a bit of recycled packaging or whatever you have laying around that you did not pay for. Be sure and let me know what freebie you included!
4. Pictures are optional!
