Need A Scrapbook Journaling Idea?
by Elaine Clay
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.
