Inspired By - The Beatles!!

This is the second 'Inspired by' challenge I am setting over on Colorful Creations - please come on over and take a look. There are some great challenges and fab prizes to be won :-)

This is one of my all time favorite bands. My parents grew up in Liverpool, UK – the home of ‘The Beatles’ – and so were HUGE fans! Hence, I grew up listening to all of their music! This song is one of my favorites.

‘A little help from my friends’ – The Beatles

Here is the link to Youtube to hear the song:

And here are the lyrics:

A little help from my friends


What would you think if I sang out of tune,


Would you stand up and walk out on me?


Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song,


And I'll try not to sing out of key.


I get by with a little help from my friends,


I get high with a little help from my friends,


Going to try with a little help from my friends.


What do I do when my love is away.


(Does it worry you to be alone)


How do I feel by the end of the day


(Are you sad because you're on your own)


No I get by with a little help from my friends,


Do you need anybody,


I need somebody to love.


Could it be anybody


I want somebody to love.


Would you believe in a love at first sight,


Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time.


What do you see when you turn out the light,


I can't tell you, but I know it's mine.


Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,


Do you need anybody,


I just need somebody to love,


Could it be anybody,


I want somebody to love.


I get by with a little help from my friends,


Yes I get by with a little help from my friends,


With a little help from my friends.

Design Team - Colorful Creations!

WooHoo! I made the design team over on Colorful Creations!!! This is a fab site with lots of great challenges and prizes to win! If you haven't already visited - please come on over - you'll soon be hooked!! :-)


So for my first 'official' challenge I have been given the category 'Inspired By' - here is what I came up with for the first attempt!! :-)

I can't believe we are already into July!! Where did June go?! Anyway, my family and I all went to the local market and were 'Inspired By' the farmer's organic fruit and veg. So much so that both children decided they wanted to go and buy some tomato and strawberry plants to grow in the garden. Hence - this challenge came about. 

Create a traditional OR digi layout using this picture to 'Inspire' you! It certainly inspired all of us!!

You can use the color combo, scrap about gardening, fruit and veg, cooking...whatever comes to mind. I got SO inspired I ended up doing 2 pages!!! 

 

Here is the RAK you are all creating to win!
