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.
