CHA Online Crop Extravaganza Playlist

We asked some of our new Creative Team Members to add their favorite songs to craft to into the mix - here's what they chose :

Lexi Bridges – Open Ended Life by The Avett Brothers – “I could listen to them 24/7, but I'm currently digging this song & sound because I am a gypsy at heart and love the folksy vibe. It's a fun little number to scrap to. How can you not love a harmonica & banjo combo?”

Maggie Massey – Royals by Lorde – “It’s just so upbeat and bouncy and fun, without being too cute… it just makes be happy…J “

Paige Evans – How Do I get There by Deana Carter – “Even though this song is 19 years old I still really love listening to it and the entire "Did I Shave My Legs for This" album! It gets me singing out loud which boosts my creative energy!”

Natalie Elphinstone – Tightrope by Janelle Monae ft Big Boi – “It’s upbeat and funky, giving me energy to stand and bog a little while I scrap J And there’s something about the flowing honesty of its lyrics that inspires me to want to pour my heart out in journaling”

Melanie Louette – Give Up by Half Moon Run – The whole album is fantastic! I love this song because of the harmony, the catchy beat and the guitar. It’s what I call REAL music! Also, they are a local band from Montreal, so I’m happy to five them so much deserved promotion.

Barbara Picinich – Pompeii by Bastille - I'm a true 80's girl thru and thru and this song has a definite 80's vibe. Anything high energy like this helps get me in the mood to create and keeps my energy up while I'm working.

Chari Moss – Royals by Lorde - I think its a great song and I like to sing along with it, not a really good reason but I don't really have one past I think it's awesome. OR Everything by Michael Buble - his was the song me and my husband danced to at our wedding so when it comes up on my playlist it makes me happy and I will sometimes play it twice.

Lory Bucaria – Everything Has Changed by Taylor Swift – I love the lyrics!

Lilin Fang – Everything in its time by Corrinne May – I like to scrap to this song because of its soothing melody and inspiring lyrics!

Stephanie Baxter - Counting Stars by One Republic - This is one of my favourite songs from 2013 and I like to have something to listen to that matches my up tempo mood that I'm usually in when I sit down to work on a spread! Something with a good beat while I'm playing with pretty paper and my photos just makes me so happy!

Carissa Wiley – Counting Stars by One Republic - I love this song! It's upbeat and smooth without being too heavy. And I love the part where the singer goes up and octave on the chorus. My kids and I love to sing this song at the top of our lungs and it's the perfect groove for a day in the craft room.

This eclectic playlist was put together with help from our Creative Team, production assistants and office staff. It does not represent the views & musical taste of Studio Calico, but we hope you’ll find it inspires a lot of crafting. And maybe a little dancing. ;)
