Here is a layout I did for Erika's Grand Opening Weekend challenges # 2 at Soul Scrappers

Here's the second Challenge of our Grand Opening weekend!

Many people have a hard time with the journaling aspect of their layouts. Sometimes it's hard to convey, in our own words, how we're feeling. Words are a powerful thing, though, and there are times when the words of others say exactly what we mean to say. This is definitely true for song lyrics, too.

Your challenge is to use song lyrics solely as your journaling. It doesn't have to be a picture of you, but if you'd like to focus on yourself, go for it. Scrap whatever subject you like, use however many pics you like. Just make sure that your journaling is made up of song lyrics.

Here is Erika's example:

and here is my entry......

This is a page I did recently for Erika's Journalling 101 course.

I used the lyrics from Duffy's song Distant Dreamer.


Here are the Lyrics to Duffy's 'Distant Dreamer' (Rockferry)

Distant Dreamer
Although you think I cope,
my head is filled with hope...
of some place other than here.

Although you think I smile,
inside all the while...
I'm wondering about my destiny.

I'm thinking about,
all the things,
I'd like to do in my life.

I'm a dreamer,
a distant dreamer,
dreaming for hope, from today.

Even when you see me frown,
my heart won't let me down,
because I know there's better things to come (Woah Yeah).

And when life gets tough,
I feel I've had enough,
I hold on to a distant star,

I'm thinking about,
all the things,
I'd like to do in my life...

I'm a dreamer,
A distant dreamer,
dreaming for hope from today.

I'm a dreamer,
A distant dreamer,
dreaming for hope from today.

Yeah, I'm a dreamer

Oooooooh...
Oooooooh...
Oooooooh...

I'm a dreamer,
a distant dreamer,
dreaming for hope from today,

Yeah i'm a dreamer...

Oooooooh...
Oooooooh...
Oooooooh...

I'm a dreamer.
