In the Whisper of the Trees

Hi there,

Here's my layout that was submitted at Soul Scrappers for their Song/Lyric Challenge (SLC21).  The song is "Love is in the Air" by John Paul Young.  The challenge is to use a word, sentence, song title or whole song somewhere on your layout.  It's a "free scrap" so any theme can be used.

Here are the lyrics:

Love is in the air

Everywhere I look around

Love is in the air

Every sight and every sound

And I don't know if I'm being foolish

Don't know if I'm being wise

But it's something that I must believe in

And it's there when I look in your eyes

 
Love is in the air

In the whisper of the trees

Love is in the air

In the thunder of the sea

And I don't know if I'm just dreaming

Don't know if I feel sane

But it's something that I must believe in

And it's there when you call out my name

 
(Chorus) Love is in the air

Love is in the air Oh oh oh Oh oh oh

Love is in the air

In the rising of the sun

Love is in the air

When the day is nearly done

And I don't know if you're an illusion

Don't know if I see it true

But you're something that I must believe in

And you're there when I reach out for you

Love is in the air

Every sight and every sound

And I don't know if I'm being foolish

Don't know if I'm being wise

But it's something that I must believe in

And it's there when I look in your eyes

And here's what I created.  I was inspire by these words from the song, "In the whisper of the trees" and based my page on an outdoorsy feel.

Our Boy Scout Troop on yet another camping/canoeing trip on the Allagash Waterways.  We had so much fun even through the pouring rain (well, maybe this was not fun) but we had so many great times during the remainder of the trip with beautiful weather.

Supplies used:

Paper: Colorbok

Masking (trees above the photo)

Stamp: Stampin' Up! Lovely as a Tree

Ink: A la mode Green

Twine

Stickers Title

Distressing

Ribbon

Canoe Die Cut Sticker

Sharpie Marker

Sketch: Page Maps (May 2005)

 

To have more of an outdoorsy feel, I knotted twine and added it in the upper right of the page (as if the background paper wasn't outdoorsy enough, right).  :)

I also added twine to the left of the title on top of brown ribbon.

This is the best stamp ever to create masking with!  I always have so much fun with it!

Hard to believe I actually fit all my journaling in this block!  I usually come up short and have to figure out another way to include it all on my page!

Just for something different, I added strips of twine in the lower right.

This was the smallest canoe I could find (other than the bright red one)!  I adhered it onto cardstock and cut it out... which makes it so much easier to adhere to my page.
