Scrap Mix Challenge!

Hey everyone! QT bre here with this weeks challenge! This challenge is inspired by a challenge over at Cat Scrap. It's called Scrap Mix and is a lot of fun with this one. I hope you all will have fun too. It may seem tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty simple. We've played it before, but I've changed things up a bit. Here's how it works!

Instructions
There are 4 categories: Main Paper, # of Photos, Element, and Inspiration From a Song.

To figure out what your main paper should look like, take the day you were born, add up the digits until you have a single digit. For example, if I was born on the 29th day, I would do this: 2+9=11, then 1+1=2. My paper should be striped. I was actually born on the 2nd day, so I should use a paper that is striped.

To determine how many pictures you need to use your page, take the number of the month you were born. I was born in the 7th month, so I need to use at least 7 pictures! If you were born in the 10, 11, or 12 month, you add the digits until you get a single digit (ex. the 11th month would be 1+1=2, so you would use 2 pictures.)

To find out the main element you should use, you add the digits of the year you were born. Example: 1986, 1+9+8+6=24, 2+4=6, my main element is a frame.

Category 4 is your age and will determine what you should use as your inspiration. I wanted something different so I typed "Top 10 Children's Songs." You're going to really have to stretch your creativity as some of the songs are a little different! If you absolutely CAN NOT fit the song/lyrics into your LO. I will let it slide....JUST THIS ONCE though... :) Anyway, again take your age, add it until you get a single digit, and have fun. I am  22, so 2+2=4. My song is "If I Didn't Have You." (I will post links the to songs/lyrics below...)

Here are the categories! (If you can't see it, try clicking on it. If you STILL can't see it, let me know!)

Here is my LO. I used the striped paper, I used SEVEN photos (that was a STRETCH for me! lol) and I made FRAMES to go around the seven pictures. I also used the words "if I didn't have them (changed from you)" from my song. 

Here are the songs for you if you need them. You don't have to use the whole song, just a part or parts that stick out to you!
Song List Site
Post the link to your LO as a comment so we can see your creations. Any questions, PLEASE ASK! Thanks for stopping by! :) Winner will receive a $5 GC to SuzyQs store!! Get those LOs done! Have fun and be creative with this challenge! If your birthday doesn't work for you, pick your DH, DD, whoever you can think of! :)
