Musical Lyric layouts

[caulensmom]

Anyone down to do a layout to lyrics for your favorite song?
It would be sooo much fun! Take photos that would corrdinate with lyrics to your favorite song and include MOST or ALL of the song lyrics in the layout. If you want post a link to the song if you have it so we all can get a full feel of the layout. Dont be shy. This will be really fun and a different direction in creativity! I am also %100 sure no one will include profanity or curse words in the layouts. ;)
I have a layout I did to shane and mine song. I will post it, but I will also do a new one! :)
The song is " I miss you" by Incubus

[Kelli West]

Amy, what a fun idea!!! Oh, i need to start thinking about this one!

[Quinn]

That's a great idea, Amy! I'll have to start thinking... hmmm... Love your LO, by the way!!!

[Jenny McDonald]

I have to get on the ball with this. I also have to get on the May template challenge too!

[Kelli West]

Ok, here is mine!! This is our song! While we were dating and it's even on part of our video!

[supermombritt]

Cute Kelli.

[Kelli West]

Thanks Brittany...now lets see yours!! :D

[scrapy]

Tyler wanted to do this challenge, so he did his brother who is a good eater. Oh Boy is one of his favorite cds. Tyler did real good, I would have done it differently, but I like his better.

[Kim Hansen]

Amy, Kelli, Tyler, I'm enjoying your layouts. They make me smile:)

[A-to-Z]

Great idea Amy!!! And great layouts everyone!!! So fun...I think I will have to do this one...i know the exact song! :)

[Alishaw]

Cute pages guys! I can't even think of a good song....hmmmm-I'll work on it!

[supermombritt]

I'm like you Alisha. I don't know what song either.

[crystalclark87]

very cute guys! I'll have to try to do this one! There is no time limit right?

[caulensmom]

nah no time limit on this one...just at your leisure :)

[Quinn]

Kelli, I love your LO & think that song is adorable for you guys! And may I say, "ow! Ow!" because you look absolutely stunning in those photos! I've never seen your hair straight like that! I'm always jealous how curly girls can do the curly thing or the straight thing. How nice to have some options! April's sisters have gorgeous curly hair & I wonder if April does too, but straightens it. Hmmm...

Great job, Tyler! The "Oh Boy" CD is a favorite of mine, too. Nice use of elements in your layout! Looks great!

[Kelli West]

Awwww..shucks Quinn!! Your makin me blush!!! Thank you!! Yeah, I don't straighten my hair to often anymore because when it is straight my face seems chubbier to me. The curly hair gives volume...i dunno!! :P

[Jenny McDonald]

Your silly Kelli! I like it straight and curly.

[Kelli West]

thanks Jenny!!

[montmeag]

nah no time limit on this one...just at your leisure :)

Good thing because I have a great idea I've been wanting to do for a while but I haven't quite gotten to it. Hopefully soon...

[Wendy]

Thanks for the challenge - I've been wanting to do this page ever since I heard the song. This is my first time participating in a challenge, ever! kinda fun!

Wendy,
Love It! You should post more often. I like the paper strips on the left side! And I love the journaling.

[chryslergreen]

Great job Wendy! Your page is beautiful!

[montmeag]

Way cute LO, Wendy! So many things I like about it.

[Jenny McDonald]

I love that song! Oh my gosh it is the cutest song ever! The layout is darling also. Great job.

[supermombritt]

Darling page WEndy. I love it.

[Wendy]

So, I had so much fun with my first music lyric LO I decided to make 2 more - one for each of my kids - for my DH for Father's Day. Haven't decided how to print/give them to him yet. Not enough for a book, wrong size to frame (square), any suggestions?


Cleaning My Gun by Rodney Atkins (not my usual genre, but country songs have great stories!)

[Kelli West]

those were so fun! I had fun with it too and did a 2nd one. I should post it shouldnt I? Hmmmm.....

[mmecharp]

I'm stressin over which song lyrics to use. There are so many to choose from.

[mmecharp]

:cheer:
Okay so I made the layout and it's in my album (I haven't a clue how to make a cute little thumbnail for ya'll to click on; feel free to instruct me in this)
the lyrics are from an incubus song titled Nowhere Fast. It's kinda how I feel since I became a readymade mom of 2 at the ripe ol age of 17. Like the plans I had for myself will never be fulfilled because my distractions (kids hubby house) have taken up my time. I didn't link to the actual song bcuz it does have some fowl (haha) language in it. But you can youtube search it if you want to hear the actual song.

Will I ever get to where I'm going?
Will I ever follow through with what I had planned.
I guess it's possible that I have been a bit distracted
and the directions for me are a lot less in demand.
Will I ever get to where I'm going?
If I do, will I know when I am there?
If the wind blew me in the right direction would I even care?
I would.
I take a look around; it's evident the scene has changed.
And there are times when I feel improved upon the past.
Then there are times when I can't seem to understand at all
and yes it seems as though I'm going nowhere...
really effin fast.

[Kelli West]

mmecharp-those are great lyrics! they are so powerful! I'm gonna go check out your LO right now!! can't wait to see it!

[mmecharp]

thanks Kelli! I literally spent more time deciding on the lyrics than I did working on the layout. And I don't yet have a nice stash of goodies so I had to mix and match stuff from other sets, and then colorize them to make them match. I could never do that with paper scrapbooking. I Love It!!!

[a_c_danica]

this a fun challenge! I will have to figure out something with my favorite song and it will be fun to get another weding page done with our song. I haven't been scraping much lately cause I have been makeing alot of announcements and invites... so there goes all of my photo shop time. Hopefully the endless projects will slow down soon and I can get scrap'n' again.

[montmeag]

Ok, am I the only one who doesn't have "a song" as a couple?

[supermombritt]

I don't know if we really have a song. We just really love all the U2 songs, especially "dancing" to them in the mountains in Ephraim. Wasn't that fun April and Keith? April had the best song ever.

[chryslergreen]

So, I had so much fun with my first music lyric LO I decided to make 2 more - one for each of my kids - for my DH for Father's Day. Haven't decided how to print/give them to him yet. Not enough for a book, wrong size to frame (square), any suggestions?[/url]

Wendy, you can buy square frames. I think 12x12 is more common that 8x8, but I have seen both. You are most likely to find them at a craft store like Michaels or something, or I bet you could find some online.

Another fun way to display a page is to get a square tile and mod podge it onto the tile, then you can either hang it or get a little stand to put it on.

[JoDee:)]

Wendy---LOVE your song choices. That is my hubby's favorite CD for his children.. I am going to have to COPY.

[Wendy]

Thanks for the comments on my LO's - they keep me going! Lynette, I think I'll try the tiles, I haven't been able to find 12x12 frames. I hadn't thought of tiles - I think I even have some that would be perfect in the garage!

[susiekline]

OK, I made a page for this! I always love music related things. I chose the song "Feels Like Home" by Bonnie Raitt. You might have heard it in the movie "Michael." Here's a youtube link. I have no idea who these people are...but they sure look nice!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=461kyjIg6cg

This song's lyrics totally communicate how I feel about my husband Jim. And every time I hear it I cry!!!

[RobRob]

I am so excited for this! I have never participated in a challenge before but this one just awakened me!! Thank you! I have so many fun ideas already! This is going to make great pages!

[RobRob]

Ok this was fun! I already have these songs in their baby books but this was fun to do anyway! I don't know what I am going to do with them though. My hubby is next!
These are the songs in case you can't read them:

[Kelli West]

Robin, I had been wondering where you went off too! How is life going? I hope all is well! those LO's are sooo cute! You did a beautiful job on them!

[RobRob]

Hey Kelli! Life's good! I've still been here believe me! But I just got high speed internet a few days ago so now I can actually participate.Yay!

[caulensmom]

Robin I am in love with your layouts! The photos are amazing. My son is all about TOY STORY so the first lyrics made me smile big! Way cute!

[Kelli West]

Hey Kelli! Life's good! I've still been here believe me! But I just got high speed internet a few days ago so now I can actually participate.Yay!

Yay for high speed internet!!!

[RobRob]

I love this challenge!
Ok this is the song that Zac and I really love and feel like it relates to us. Watch it if you guys have never heard it!
It's a funny video too.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RdJoIZbO9g

Guys, how do you do that where you put the video right on your post?

[RobRob]

Thank you caulensmom! What is your name by the way? I love yours too. Awesome challenge.

[RobRob]

AAWWW! Cute Kelli! I love that song. It's awesome. Adorable page too. Cute couple!

[Kelli West]

thanks! I was just thinking the same about your page!! what a fun song!

[supermombritt]

Cute pages RobRob. I may need to scraplift.

[RobRob]

Kelli,
Didn't you say you have another lyric page done? WHERE is it?? Of course you should post it!

[splenditello]

this is a great idea and something i really enjoy doing (huge music fan) i've taken a bunch of billy joel song lyrics and made an album. it turned out great and makes a very thoughtful gift.

[Kelli West]

Kelli,
Didn't you say you have another lyric page done? WHERE is it?? Of course you should post it!

yes, I have just been too lazy!!:p

[Kelli West]

By the way, SPlenditello, did we ever have a welcome thread for you? I have been thinking about it, and can't remember if there was one and I just missed it. So if not, welcome to the forums! So happy to have you here with us!! So glad to see that you jumped right in. Digi scrappin (and this forum) is like a whirlpool that pulls you down!! It's addiciting!

[montmeag]

Ok, here (http://forum.digitalscrapbookmemories.com/album.php?albumid=49&pictureid=378) is mine, finally. I want to do one for my son too. I was struggling with the star brush to make it look ok. That and I was going for a dreamy look with the pictures. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

[RobRob]

Oh my gosh Meagan how cute! I never even used the star brush before. Is that what made all the little ones behind the moon and your picture? It looks great. Really "dreamy!" Nice job!

[Angie I]

I really like this challange! I am pretty sure I would never have done a layout like this if it had not been for this challenge. Since it was fathers day and this is one of my husbands favorite songs I scrapped it. Here is the song That's cool by Blue Countryhttp://www.cmt.com/videos/blue-county/32403/thats-cool.jhtml and here is the layout

[Kelli West]

great LO Angie! It is totally a guy lo and I love it. I like how you placed the pictures and the tape and staples to "hold" them together! great job!

[montmeag]

Oh my gosh Meagan how cute! I never even used the star brush before. Is that what made all the little ones behind the moon and your picture? It looks great. Really "dreamy!" Nice job!

Thanks RobRob. The brush is actually called "starburst" and it's right below the regular star brush. It was fun to play with but I was having a hard time getting the paths of the stars to flow "naturally" (for lack of a better word). That's only because of user eror though.

[caulensmom]

Wow girls all of your layouts are truley amazing!! SO AWESOME!!!

[scrapy]

Great layouts gals.

[Angie I]

I like how you placed the pictures and the tape and staples to "hold" them together! great job!

Kelli-Actually that frame is from dsm family ties cd in the teenage folder. It was already done for me. So cool! Thanks for looking and thanks for the compliments.

[welovemilk]

Ok this is scary! My first LO online. EEEK! I used Quinn's cute layout from another challenge and used it with this one. This is the song my 8 yr old sang (solo) at her baptism. You guys are all so helpful! Thanks for everything! I hope I attach this thumbnail right....Never mind....

HELP! How do I attach a thumbnail or link to my album?

[digimad]

To attach a thumbnail, click on the paperclip, then browse to find your layout. To include a link to your layout in your album, first go to the layout in your album, copy the address in the address bar. Then go to the thread you would like to post in and click on the world with a link on it and paste the address for your page. hope this is making sense.:)

[welovemilk]

Thanks a bunch! I was just trying the quick reply....here it goes...

[welovemilk]

It worked! Thanks you are a digi genious!

[Kelli West]

Andrea what a great page! And i just LOVE that song. Our young women sang that up at girls camp last year witht he whole "singing around the trees" it was beautiful! Great work on the page. I love the pictures you used!

[chryslergreen]

Beautiful Andrea! You should post more!

[welovemilk]

Thanks everyone...I definately will now that the scary first one is over! LOL!

[digimad]

I don't know that song, but the words are beautiful. Good job on your page!

[mmecharp]

Andrea, that is a truly beautiful page!

[supermombritt]

Cute page. I know that song since I am in primary (a children's group in the church I belong to). I love to hear the little kids sing that.

[LRHGIRL]

I loved this challenge because I have been wanting to do a page for my little girl that almost literally does eat everything and I had planned to use at least the title and chorus of this song. This was just the motivation I needed to actually get it done.

The song is "E Eats Everything" by They Might Be Giants. It is on their "Here Comes the ABC's" album. A great album that my kids and I both love listening to.

You need to go about a minute and 48 seconds in to get to the song.

The "E" graphic is from the Silly Boy Cuddle Bug kit from Shabby Princess.

[LRHGIRL]

By the way - I took Alisha's "Telling the Story" class tonight and she shared how to fully justify text in PSE. Ctrl Shift-J. Perhaps this is common knowledge, but it was new to me and it made it possible for me to do exactly what I had envisioned with this page. Thanks for the tip!

[supermombritt]

I forgot there was a class. Man I am mad.

[chryslergreen]

That is a great page! I love the picture you put with it. The Ctrl-Shift-J thing was new to me too, so I am excited to try it out! I always learn such great tricks from the classes!

[montmeag]

Great LO!

[kmsarles]

LRHGIRL (Jen?), I LOVE your page! I also love They Might Be Giants!

[supermombritt]

What does ctrl-shift-J do?

[WolfDreamerNZ]

Ooooh - looking forward to starting this - hmmmm - now which one to do first....

[LRHGIRL]

Thanks! Ctrl-Shift-J fully justifies the text box - so the edges are straight on both the right and left sides. There are only buttons for left justified, centered and right justified so apparently you have to know the key stroke to do full justification.

Jen

[LucyLu]

It took me a while to come up the a song for this .. I finally got an idea at the fireworks last night...

[Kelli West]

Dottie that is beautiful!! Perfect for the season!

[scrapy]

Dottie, very nice. I like the flag.

[welovemilk]

Way fun "E" song! I'm going to have to get the CD for my preschool! Thanks for sharing!

[welovemilk]

Dottie, Love the page! So perfect for this week!

[supermombritt]

Great page Dottie.

[cjoy2day]

All your pages are awesome. I often hear a song and type it out and send it to my husband or whoever. It just doesn't mean the same thing to them as it does you. This is a great way to put it down. Haha, I'm sure my DH will appreciate it too.

[kmsarles]

I decided to do a music lyrics page for this photo of my daughter with her guitar. The song is by Miley Cyrus and I think it's a nice message for little girls. Not all "role models" are good these days, so despite how processed she is, as long as her lyrics stay uplifting I'll support Hannah Montana! :) Here's a link to the lyrics (http://www.lyricstop.com/m/makesomenoise-hannahmontana.html) if you don't want to try to read it on the page. And here's a link to the page (http://forum.digitalscrapbookmemories.com/album.php?albumid=84&pictureid=1024) in my album.

[Kim Hansen]

Oh, it's fun to see another lyric layout. Nice job.
