London 2012 - CLOSING CEREMONIES

"The Closing Ceremony celebrates the achievements of athletes at the London 2012 Olympic Games, and includes a Handover from one Host City to the next. In 2012, London will hand over to Rio de Janeiro for the 2016 Olympic Games. The Closing Ceremony also features the extinguishing of the Olympic Flame, signalling the end of the Games.

The Closing Ceremony of the Olympic Games will be titled ‘A Symphony of British Music’, to celebrate the fact that music has been one of Britain’s strongest cultural exports over the last 50 years. The worldwide broadcast of the Ceremony will start at 9pm and feature more than 4,100 performers, including 3,500 adult volunteers and 380 schoolchildren from the six east London Host Boroughs."

For our last challenge of this Olympic crop, we'll tie both of those ideas together

Here's the flag for Rio de Janeiro, Brazil:


~use the colors from the flag
~use a song title OR lyrics (or both!) on your layout

Wow, that's an awesome LO Carla! I love the stitching and misting.

Very nice Carla!

Beautiful layout Carla.. and HUGE {{HUGS}} for doing the challenge!!!

Lovely Carla! I may lift it.. I have the perfect photo for this...

Did you watch the ceremonies??

Gorgeous Carla!

Oh I have a vintage layout of my sister I want to do for an album I am making her for Christmas - this will be perfect!

I watched them and thought they were just awesome!!!!!

Yes, I watched the whole thing. Great job, though I would have liked to see/hear Cold Play -- I think they're playing for the Paralympics, though.

I taped it so I can go back and see the parts I missed.. we watched it during the dinner hour when it was first on...

Here is mine - the title: You Are My Sunshine

LOve it, Lisa! Just adorable!

That's great Lisa. Great choices for embellishments.

Love that chevron stripe Lisa & the clothesline is so cute!

What paper is that Lisa?? I love the clothesline so many lines have kiddie type stuff on them, I've never seen one like that..

The flowers look like they might be Basic Grey, but I've not seen that clothesline, though.

Or the chevron stripes...

forgot to ask, could this be a card ?

I think it is "Summer Fresh" by Simple Stories... awesome Lisa!!!!!!!!!

Oh that is so cute... I was going to use the same title but once I got to looking for one, I found the perfect one by Neil Diamond.... DESIREE, which just happens to be my granddaughters name!!! So here's mine:

I like that Lois. I like that you used the pp on the letters.

I agree, the paper on the letters looks great!

Me three Lois! Love the pp on the title!
