**Challenge** Your challenge is this...find a song in which you want to focus on...maybe the words to your favorite love song, and a photo of you and your husband...or a fun song that reminds you of your children...you get the idea! I didn't spend money on this layout, I used up what I had at home first, so try to do that as well!
For this layout, I used the same alphabet template from Coluzzle that was used in yesterdays example, only I did not matt this title, nor did I add the small punch pieces. This title was plain, using just the template and my trimmer to complete the title itself - the trimmer for the top border part. The patterned paper for the background was enough background for me...I used colors from the paper to soften it up, but focused on blues because of my parents' colors on their clothes! The pink just added a bit of interest to it all...and besides it is my favorite color! The journaling was hand written for the most part - using a simple pencil at first, to pencil in the words I wanted to use - and then used a black marker for the words - erasing the pencil marks when I was done. I typed the lyrics up on the computer - printing out on vellum paper and added to the background paper with simple eyelets. 
For this page I wanted to use the words of a song - I Hope You Dance By Leeann Womack as the basis of the layout of my daughter. For me, the words say what I needed to say, what is in my heart to her and all my kids really, but it was her that brought me out of the depths of hell. For this example, I used my handwriting instead of the computer...it all depends on what I have available to me, at times I have enough ink in my printer...and other times I don't! I used the vellum to mute the words underneath a bit, I didn't want them glaring at you...I wanted them softer - more like Terra is!
I love to play around on Microsoft Word with the fonts they have available. I am learning more about fonts, and will have a post later on with what I have learned so far! Free software you can download that will help you with your creating, as well as wonderful software and kits you can buy! Share with me what you have done...like always, I love to see what others have done from what I have made! I am planning on sharing one layout I received just a few days ago! Thanks for visiting, and have a great creating day!
