Try using song lyrics in your
next layout.
Song lyrics can be a great
source of title and page inspiration for a scraper.
Music and songs play an
important part in our lives. Hearing a song again can
evoke a lot of emotion, bringing back fond memories of
special times, special people and special places.
Of course, different songs
mean different things to different people - but you can
use songs to 'tap' into those memories to create unique,
and highly personal scrapbook pages.
How do you use lyrics on
your pages?
Well, here’s a scrapbook
journaling idea for you to try using a wedding layout as
an example.
If the bride and groom have
their own ‘special song’ then you use that to add a
personal touch. If not don’t worry find another suitable
song instead, there are lots of song lyric web sites on
the internet that you can browse.
Pick a section from your
chosen song for example, the first verse of “A Groovy
Kind of Love” by Phil Collins and journal the lyrics
around the edges of your page.
Then embellish your border
with some appropriate wedding stickers, die-cuts or
punches. Tie it all neatly together, by using the title of
the chosen song as the accent title for your layout.
What about a friendship
page? You could use some of the lyrics from "You've
Got a Friend" by Carole King, maybe decorate your
border with musical notes.
Doing a page about
someone’s birthday? You could journal the words from
“Happy Birthday” and embellish the border with cakes,
candles or other birthday memorabilia.
Don’t limit yourself to
just a section of a song, use all of it if you want to.
Write or print out the
complete song lyrics onto some nice paper and add it to
your page. If you don’t have the room left on your album
page make a pocket envelope to put your song sheet into.
You can apply this
scrapbook journaling idea to any kind of page theme, not
just the ones listed here as examples.
There have been tens of
thousands of songs published over the years covering all
sorts of subjects – the possibilities for the
resourceful scraper are endless.
Just make sure that the
song title or lyric you are going to use is suitable for
the theme of your layout and you’ll soon add a quick,
simple and memorable piece of journaling to your page.
