Need an album diary Idea?

Try using song lyrics in the layout later.

Lyrics can be a great source of inspiration and title of the page for a scraper.

The music and the songs have an important role in our lives. Hearing a song again can evoke a lot of emotions, bringing back memories of special times, special people and places.

Of course, different songs mean different things to different people - but you can use the songs to tap into''those memories to create unique and highly personal scrapbook pages.

How to use text on your pages?

Well, here's an album diary idea for you to try using a wedding layout, an example.

If the spouses have their own song 'special' then that is used to add a personal touch. If not do not worry find another suitable song instead, there are a lot of websites on the Internet singing that you can navigate.

Choose a section from the song choice, for example, the first verse of "A Groovy Kind of Love" by Phil Collins and revised texts around the edges of the page.

Then decorate the border with some appropriate wedding stickers, die-cuts or punches. Tie everything together neatly, using the title of the song chosen as the accent title for the layout.

What about a friendship page? You can use some of the lyrics of "You've Got a Friend" by Carole King, maybe decorate the edge with musical notes.

Making a page on someone's birthday? You could journal the words from "Happy Birthday" and embellish the border with cakes, birthday candles and other memorabilia.

Not just one section of a track, use all if you want.

Write or print the complete lyrics on some pretty paper and add it to your page. If you have no room left on the page of your album an envelope pocket to put the song sheet.

You can apply this scrapbook journaling idea to any kind of theme for the page, not just the ones listed here as examples.

There were tens of thousands of songs published over the years covering all types of stakeholders - the opportunities for the scraper are endless resources.

Just make sure that the song title or lyric you are going to use is suitable for the theme of your layout and will soon add a quick, simple and memorable piece of journaling to your page.
