Sometimes we scrap to remember the good moments in life. Sometimes we scrap to document an event. Sometimes we scrap to get our emotions out. Sometimes we scrap to look back on our past. Sometimes we scrap to tell a story. Well, I could just go on and on. Our reasons for scrapbooking can very from person to person and even from layout to layout. I had a very specific reason for scrapping this layout of my daughter and it was actually more about me than her. I used to wake up with a song in my heart. And if I didn’t have a song in my heart each morning…well, I prayed for one. I intentionally sought out joy in my life and as I result, I often experienced it.
This is how I’ve felt recently….and I have been desiring more and more to have a song back in my heart. As soon as I saw this kit by ForeverJoy and looked inside at the incredible word art, I knew exactly where I wanted to go with this layout. I wanted to scrap something that would remind me of my song.
Word Art
I was very inspired by the word art in this fun kit.
I arranged three word art elements on the page in a triangular shape. One in the upper left hand corner, one on the right side, and one across the bottom of the page.
“She was happy to find she still knew the song in her heart and she began to sing along,” is referring to me. This sentiment is a perfect reminder that I still know the song in my heart! And, yes, I am ready to begin to sing along!
“Sing like no one is listening. Love like you’ve never been hurt. Dance like no ones watching. And live like it’s heaven on earth,” is exactly what I want to do! This is so inspirational and is the perfect sentiment for how I want to live my life. This is what a joyous life looks like to me. It also is very descriptive of my daughter and was my inspiration to include her picture in this layout.
The “Sing Your Song” word art along the bottom of the page serves as my title. I love using word art for titles!!
Bright Happy Photo
Instead of using a photo of myself, I opted to use a photo of my youngest daughter on this layout. She is an inspiration to me in the way she lives so joyously! She always has a song in her heart and she sings it out loudly for the world to hear!
