The Road Home

Hi there,

Here's a layout that I'd like to share with you that was submitted at Soul Scrappers for their Song/Lyric Challenge (SLC27).  You can see the challenge here.

Just choose word(s) from the lyrics to create your project.  It could be the song title, a sentence from the lyrics, a chorus or the whole song.

The song is "Let Her Go" by Passenger

The lyrics:

Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you’re missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go

Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast

You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies

But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast

Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much
And you dived too deep

Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go (oh, oh, ooh, oh no)
And you let her go (oh, oh, ooh, oh no)
Will you let her go?

'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go

And a couple photos of him:

This is my layout titled, "The Road Home"

I took this photo a couple of week ago on my way home.  I love how you can see the road for a long way and the beautiful sky!

I chose these words from the lyrics - "the road."

Supplies used:

Paper: Colorbok

Flowers

Gems: Home Made

Darice Embossing Folder

Cuttlebug Embossing Folder

Sticker Letters

Ribbon

Foam Letters

Circle Punch

Pink Fabric Flowers: Home Made

Sketch: By Jana Eubank

Love these foam letters!

A small grouping of flowers is to the right of the photo.  And square sticker letters finish off my page title, which are under the photo.  The pink fabric flower is home made.  A piece of the lime green ribbon was folded and tucked under the top flower.

The larger flower grouping is a variety of flowers and home made gems.

The white circle behind the flowers was embossed as well as the lime green pp along the bottom of the photo.

A closer look.  Another strip of lime green ribbon was folded in half and tucked under the top flower.

A closer look.

This photo shows the embossing much better.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
