Guess what everyone?
There is a
new twist to the Lyrical Challenge, starting this month! We will still have a poll for the best layout at the end of the month, with the winner receiving a $3.99 coupon. HOWEVER--anyone who completes a layout for the Lyrical Challenge using a product that was placed in the store during the previous calendar month will also be entered into a random drawing for a $3.99 coupon!!!
You may use other kits, etc. to complete your layout, you just need to have used at least one of the previous month's new products for it as well. (There is more information on how to find out what products came out the previous month in the official rules below. And please use the proper links to give the designers the credit they are due!) There were lots of great Halloween kits that came out last month, as well as the awesome Halloween MegaKit, however the kit you use doesn't need to be a Halloween one at all. And if you choose not to use a product from the previous month you will still be in the poll for best layout! Now there are two ways to win!!
Rules
1. Create a layout using any of the song's lyrics. You may use all of the lyrics, part of the lyrics, or even just the title. If you have created a layout with DSP products using these lyrics in the past, you are welcome to post a link to it here as well.
2. The layouts must be created using DSP products, and please remember to credit the designers for their kits, and use DSP product codes as keywords.
(If you are unsure what this means or how to do this check out the instructions HERE )
Also please don't forget to credit the artist for their lyrics!
3. Post your layout using the lyrics for this month, to the Lyrical Challenge Gallery unless its doing double duty and in another gallery, in which case be extra sure to remember to post a link to it in this thread as this is where we come to grab the links for the poll!
The challenge closes at Midnight EST Wednesday, November 30, 2011.
**YOU MUST POST A LINK TO YOUR LAYOUT IN THIS THREAD** We don't want anyone who posts a layout to miss out, and of course you want everyone to see your layout, so please make sure to link here regardless of which gallery it is in. Thanks!
**Everyone who enters a layout that meets these requirements is eligible for the end of the month poll!
The winner of the poll will receive a $3.99 voucher to the DSP store courtesy of DSP. The more layouts you enter, the better chance YOU have of winning!!
**And NOW there's another way to win!! If you include one or more products that were new in the store the previous calendar month, you will be eligible for the NEW end of the month random drawing, which is also for a $3.99 voucher!!! To find the new products in the store, click on the link to The Store above in the black stripe at the top of the page. This will take you to The Store.
Now click on the "All Products" link under the Products heading on the far left of the page. Products will now appear listed in order of the date they were added to the store, (most recent first) and that date will be listed under the title of the product. Using any product that was added to the store in the month prior to the current month will make you eligible for the random draw. For instance for the November 2011 Lyrical Challenge you will need to use a product that was added in October of 2011. Please remember to mention that you've used a new product when you post the link to your layout in this thread.
Again, you do not have to use any of the new products and you will still be in the draw for best layout, however using them will double your chances!!!
So...the winner by a nose in a very close poll this month was Spooky. You can see the lyrics below, as well as a link to the video. I can't wait to see your Spooky layouts!

Spooky
In the cool of the evening when ev'rything is gettin' kind of groovy,
I call you up and ask you if you want to go and meet and see a movie,
First you say no, you've got some plans for the night,
And then you stop, and say, "All right."
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you.
You always keep me guessin', I never seem to know what you are thinkin'.
And if a fella looks at you, it's for sure your little eye will be a-winkin'.
I get confused, 'cause I don't know where I stand,
And then you smile, and hold my hand.
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you.
Spooky!
If you decide someday to stop this little game that you are playin',
I'm gonna tell you all what my heart's been a-dyin' to be sayin'.
Just like a ghost, you've been a-hauntin' my dreams,
So I'll propose... on Halloween.
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you.
Spooky,
Spooky,
Spooky,
Oh-whoa, all right,
I said Spooky!
