Do you ever hear a song, and the lyrics or title connect you with a memory or a relationship? I (Patricia) usually have to open Notes on my iPhone as quickly as possible to write down the lyrics that inspire a layout or I will forgot. As I was singing The Sound of Music's Do Re Me, because it is stuck in my head from my daughter and I singing it while jumping on the trampoline, I had one of those moments where I knew this needed to be scrapped.
This was a fun layout to gather lots of supplies to create the bits on each square grid to represent the song, leaving the last square to fill with a favorite photo from us on the trampoline.
Treasure Map: Moby Dick Isle Pattern Paper, Skull Rock Pattern Paper, Moaning Cavern Pattern Paper, Hangman’s Cove Pattern Paper, Shipwreck Coast Pattern Paper, Dead Man’s Pass Pattern Paper, Mermaid Bay Pattern Paper, Tidbits; Daily Flash: Letter Stickers, To the Point Chipboard, Stars and Hearts, Picture This Stamps, Homemade Stamps; Apple Cider: Memory Cards; Egg Nog: Metal Badges, Cookies for Santa Stamp Set; Saturday Mornings: Shape Stickers, Doo-Dads, Clouds Stamp, Memory Card Mix, Brads; Public Library Brads
The base of each square is 2.5" and then hand cut all the bits to go on top.
This is also a fun way to incorporate new and leftover October Afternoon supplies.
I am so very excited to have the talented Mou Saha with me today to take on this challenge!
I love to use song lyrics as titles and as part of my journaling because sometimes they beautifully sum up my thoughts. When Patricia asked me to take inspiration from song lyrics, it was close to my heart. My oldest daughter loves listening to music and her current favorite is the Handwritten album by Shawn Mendes. We are listening to it a lot and my youngest often falls asleep listening to him. One song we love in particular is Life of the Party. I used that as my title and a few of the lyrics to tell my story.
