Our challenge last week at The Scrapbook Site was to do a layout inspired by a song. I chose the song, "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts.
Every time I hear this song, I get a little teary eyed thinking about my three sons. The words say just how I feel about their future and the men they will some day become.
Here is a sample of the song.
The main lyrics to the song are listed first. The chorus appears at thebottom of the page and is repeated twice throughout the song.
Lyrics-
I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow, and each road leads you where you want to go. And if you're faced with a choice and you have to choose, I hope you choose the one that means the most to you. And if one door opens to another door closed, I hope you keep on walkin' til you find the window. If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile. I hope you never look back but you never forget, all the ones who love you and the place you left. I hope you always forgive and you never regret and you help somebody every chance you get. Oh, you find God's grace in every mistake, and always give more than you take. But more than anything. Yeah, more than anything...
Chorus-My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, your dreams stay big, your worries stay small, you never need to carry more than you can hold, and while you're out there getting where you're getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too, Yeah, this, is my wish.
Supplies:Bazzill cardstock Urban Lily Urban Rock Star Collection patterned paper; Ranger ink in licorice
Misc.- Tulle that I pleated and stitched to my page; Embroidery floss.
