I Love you just the way you are (Song Lyrics)

Scrapbook Layout  - I Love You Just The Way You Are (song lyrics)-

A close up of the layout

Hello there!

I have been playing along with Scrapbook Nerd on-line creative Summer Camp,.  I am always inspired when I see a challenge in my way;  this one called to use a song lyrics to create a layout.  Well (it may not be a surprise, I have a large library of pictures),  I had to use one of my favorite pictures of my kids to create this layout.

Using the Silhouette Cameo, I cut in a circular shape, two lines of Billy Joel's song,  I Love You Just The Way You Are.  I pasted the cut-ous on top of Shimelle's Starshine patterned paper, and stitched around them with the sewing machine. 

I love this picture

I created the cut file leaving a gap at the beginning of each line so that my picture will fit in that  spot.  Using Shimelle's collection, I  layered different papers behind the picture, and added cut-outs, stickers and ephemera in  large cluster around the picture.  Finally, a small wooden arrow was placed as a way to guide the viewer's eye to read the lyrics.   Here is the final result...

I hope you also like the layout,  it is different of what I do, but i  love it.

Till next time,  

Happy Crafting!!
