May 2024 Taylor Swift Challenge

Post by The Scrap Attack »

Hi scrappers! We’re already into May and a new challenge! This challenge comes directly from the following quote from the song “Invisible String”

Image 

Your challenge this month is to use gold string, cord or fiber, etc. on your layout.

Here is an example where I used some golden cord to string a banner on.

Your LO is so beautiful!
The challenge is to use gold string, not something gold plus string? Just clarifying.

I have a similar question. Can we do a project using just gold? Just string? Just Cord? Just fiber? Are those all options? Or do we need a gold (insert string-y item here) on our page to count?

Oops I had one too many comas in my description. The challenge is to use some sort or string or fiber that is gold on your layout. Thank you for bringing that to my attention!

Beautiful layout!  And I have been listening to Taylor Swift all morning...actually for the last several mornings as I get ready for work.  I'm trying to listen to all the songs on her new album, but it is taking a while, as I am the kind of person who wants to know WHY or what the significance is of the lyrics.  I and looking up TS history after EVERY song! LOL

Not to mention she released a surprise double album with 31 songs. Even listening to it in one sitting takes awhile!!
