True Colors Are Shining Through

Hello,

This layout was created for hosting my Song Challenge at Colorful Creations (aprsong7).  I provide you with the lyrics to a song that I've chosen and from the lyrics you create a project using word(s) from the song.

The song I chose is "True Colors" by Cyndi Lauper.  Here are the lyrics:

 You with the sad eyes
Don`t be discouraged
Oh, I realize
It`s hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that`s why I love you
So don`t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors
Are beautiful like a rainbow

Show me a smile then,
Don`t be unhappy
Can`t remember when
I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you`ve taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I`ll be there

And I`ll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that`s why I love you
So don`t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
Your true colors
Are beautiful like a rainbow

(Can`t remember when I last saw you laughing)

If this world makes you crazy
And you`ve taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I`ll be there

And I`ll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that`s why I love you
So don`t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors
True colors are shining through

I see your true colors
And that`s why I love you
So don`t be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors
Are beautiful like a rainbow

Here's my example layout using a sketch from Stickers N Fun (Nov 2007):

 

 Our daughter and her friend at a ceremony to honor Veteran's on Memorial Day.  They were so excited to march in the Parades!

Supplies used:

Paper: Colorbok

Ribbon

Flowers

Sticker Letters

Plastic Glitter Shapes

Lace Fabric

Butterfly

Pearls

Ink: Vivid! Teal

Stamp: Making Memories (Upper right of my page)

I added a circle glitter tag under the flower.  I left the original center on the pink flower and added a smaller flower above and a butterfly beside the flower.

Ribbon was added below the photo and on the tiny glitter tag.  A pearl was added on the white flower.

 Here's a look a the left side of my page, just below the photo.

Various flowers were layered with pearls added in their centers.

The letters blended in with the background paper more than I wanted, so I dug out my markers and traced around the larger letters.

A glitter bracket was added to the right of my page title.

Here's a closer look at the bracket.  Isn't it sweet!?!

Something I found in my flower stash and added it here.  Fits in perfectly!

I added a strip of lace fabric under the photo.  

Have a wonderful day!
