I write down lyrics as I hear them (on the radio, on a CD, on my mp3 player), and that means I have lots of notebooks and random scraps on paper in my purse and around my house filled with random lyrics. I wanted to create something cohesive that I could use to write down some of my favourites...the ones I keep writing down over and over again!
Chantel and the gang brought this little 7Gypsies album home from CHA, and it worked perfectly for me, but any small chipboard or acrylic or homemade album will do...use what you have on hand. This is also a great time to play with those paint or stamps or Glimmer Mist you bought and haven't used yet because you're not sure what to do with it. Experiment! Have Fun! There are no rules with this album...okay there's one rule! I challenge you to only use your scraps or leftovers, random things left on your desk after your last creative session. These are probably your favourite things, new fun things that you can't get enough of! Make sure you love all the stuff you put in here...this album is just for you! And if what you love is simple patterns and rub ons...use that!! Don't feel the need to copy what I did exactly! This is just a suggestion to help get your creative juices flowing while completing a fun mini project!
You could also try:
- Doing a book of your favourite quotes, if song lyrics aren't your thing
- Get your friend/hubby/sister/daughter's favourite quotes/lyrics and do up a fun gift album
- Leave some pages blank to easily add more later
