Scrappi Sandi said...

Gorgeous LO's...I love the wedding band idea...Fabulous!! The first album I ever owned was 'The Monkees' & I've been to several Bruce Springsteen concerts in my time..I loved Depeche Mode in the 80's & am already humming Mamma Mia as I write!!...I am blown away by the news that you were a Roadie for U2, Julie!! But who will I choose as my all-time fave band?!! Hmmmmm?!!

Joni Parker said...

Wow WOW wow WOW wow WOW.....and WOW!!! There are some seriously cool layouts right there... OMG...that talent humbles me!! I'm almost (yes, almost) speechless after looking at those layouts....seriously...I want to do that "grungy/fill the page" kinda layout, but I tend to scrap "simple and clean"....ok, so that may be the bigger challenge for me this time....be inspired by these layouts and do a grungy/fill the page layout!!

Jana said...

Thgis one is sooo exciting. Can't wait to see the fave band of all the participants and laydies- you ROCK!!!!!

Unknown said...

OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH my... loving this challenge!!! OOOOH and I love the MONKEES!!!! They were the first band I saw in concert... a little sad when they weren't teen agers when I saw them... but hey it was the 80's when I saw them... anyway, I can't wait to create a page!!!

This was a fabulous challenge - and not a hard one to think about as Bad Religion are seldom out of my CD player. Here's my take on it:

Great DT pages. I love the NIN layout. Wow! I'd have to say that page definitely inspired me to create my layout. Here's my take on my favorite band: DURAN DURAN! http://blardonylaughter.blogspot.com/2010/08/happy-duran-duran-appreciation-day.html

Kathy said...

This reminded me of a layout I did . Here is mine on my
blog http://kathy041.blogspot.com/search/label/Shot%20Through%20the%20Heart

I made it back in June 2008 Just after I saw Bon Jovi in concert, I have gone to all thier concerts in Ireland since I was a child and I love them. You said dont mind when the project was made so I thought Id share my favorite band layout with you!

I'm afraid I'm not going to make the deadline for this one! we have had a few days in London to celebrate both my sons 14th & my....well, not 14th Birthdays!! So I'm out of time to complete my 'Fave band' LO...it will be finished though, & added to my now quite full TAAFOMFT album!! I'll be waiting to see which of the stunning entries so far is the winner & what the next challenge is! BFN Sandi :)
