For this layout I painted a watercolor rainbow background onto white cardstock; and then whitewashed over the top with gesso to soften the colors and add texture. The dove was drawn onto white cardstock and then layered for dimension. I happened to have some sparkly copper colored vines, so I cut off a little piece for the dove to carry. The lyrics are written with a fine point journaling pen.The message seems the perfect way to start a new year. Enjoy the video...
Thanks so much to my friend Marit for hosting this week-long musical party! It's been so much fun!
I've learned some things during this challenge that will carry over to Scrapping The Music. In the past, I've always picked which songs I will scrap for our challenge blog, based on if I can envision the lyrics applying to my life - thus giving me a page to scrap about. Now I'm thinking I can scrap any song I love! I can scrap about the song itself! Yeayyyy! I love those little a-ha moments!
Speaking of Scrapping The Music, you've still got a few more days to play along with our Christmas Vacation challenge! We need more players and we'd love to have you join us!
Have a wonderful New Year's Eve my friends! Be safe and I will see you in 2010!
GORGEOUS!!!! seriously, this blows me away! :)

It's fantastic that you played and learned something along the way too... it's the same for me, I learned to "not think too much" - even in art journaling I take time. Because I had to make a page every day, I had to scrap faster... and I can do that! And yes, also, it can be about the song itself... aren't we lucky gals to end/start the year this way!!! Hope you have a marvelous new years eve and a healthy and creative 2010!
