Someone once said, “Music speaks what cannot be
expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest,
heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from
heaven to the soul”. Music is a part of the
daily life of all of us and sometimes can be the
soundtrack of our triumphs, our joys, and even
our mistakes. When it comes to scrapbooking,
song titles and lyrics can be seen as layout
titles, unique embellishments, and even
journaling. I find some of my best inspiration
for scrapbooking while listening to my favorite
music, which is why this month I challenged the
kit club to create something with a musical
reference. It could be anything: the title, the
subject of the page, or even the journaling. As
always, these girls never cease to amaze me with
their talent, as well as their creativity to
incorporate music into their layouts.
Linda’s page took my breath away with the photo
of her daughter. The title to her page, “Love
Has No Boundaries”, is a perfect sentiment when
talking about the love we have for our family.
Michelle’s crazy canines are always a favorite
of mine and this page is no exception. It made
me laugh to think about her dogs fighting over
the bones and the thought process that must be
going on inside their heads while doing it.
Even before I opened Dora’s photo in her email,
I sat there completely absorbed and consumed
with the lyrics of the song she chose. As I
opened the photo everything just came together
beautifully. Her work always inspires me, but
this layout is completely gorgeous.

Design note: The
lyrics I chose, "love has no boundaries" are
from the song “Believe” written by Elton
John. The lyrics to this song are so
beautiful. Here is a sample from that song:
“I believe in love, it's all we got, Love
has no boundaries, costs nothing to
touch…Everything crumbles sooner or later
But love, I believe in love”

Editor's note:
The title of this layout comes from the song
"Dog with a bone" by Queen. |
 |
Dog with a Bone by Michelle Boeckermann.
Digital Supplies: Paper, Frame from
Daisy Kit by Designs by Krista (digital
bytes), Font: Dead Secretary.
Journaling: You rarely get the bone.
You never get it first. You're the Napoleon
of our dogs. You love to play keep away from
Maggie once you get it. Under the table or
maybe in her face you saunter around like
the king of the castle even if you can
barely hold it in your mouth. It’s not a
full bone anymore. It’s the prized knuckle
they save for the end. The big dogs of the
house, yes they know one small look in a
different direction could mean the loss of
that bone. They know your tenacity towards
being a power player in this game of bone
collecting. Sometimes you even get a chance
to actually chew on the thing before it's
forcefully removed by Dusty and Maggie
double teaming you... But you never give up.
You like the Power of the bone.

Design note:
To add a little extra dimension, I twisted
and knotted a ribbon using glue dots here
and there. I really love the way it carries
they eye to the bottom of the page and
across.

Journaling:
I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are
outside the lines/ We've been conditioned to
not make mistakes, but I can't live that way
/ Staring at the blank page before you /
Open up the dirty window / Let the sun
illuminate the words that you could not find
/ Reaching for something in the distance /
So close you can almost taste it / Release
your inhibitions / Feel the rain on your
skin / No one else can feel it for you /
Only you can let it in / No one else, no one
else / Can speak the words on your lips /
Drench yourself in words unspoken / Live
your life with arms wide open / Today is
where your book begins / Feel the rain on
your skin / No one else can feel it for you
/ Only you can let it in / No one else, no
one else / Can speak the words on your lips
/ Drench yourself in words unspoken / Live
your life with arms wide open / Today is
where your book begins / The rest is still
unwritten
I love stories--reading them, hearing them,
telling them, writing them--which is why I
love scrapping so much. I want to tell all
my stories. This song has been my ring tone
for more than a year now because I just
adore the message: today is a blank page
waiting for me to write the story.
