Letters & Words Challenge 5: Lyrical Backgrounds

Thanks to last week's Letters & Words participants; to view their layouts, visit the summary page here!

This week's challenge is an easy one; in fact, it's probably a technique that you've used many times, so why not try it again? This time, though, see if you can challenge yourself to approach it in a way you've never done before and then post your layout link here to share with all of us!

This week, your challenge is to use the lyrics of a song as part of your page background. There are so many creative ways to incorporate song lyrics into your layouts; the best part is that the perfect song can really add another level of meaning and depth to your layout. How much of the song you use is up to you -- choose a verse, the chorus, or include the entire thing. I've included a couple of pages that I've created in the past that use song lyrics in part or whole, and I've also asked a couple of scrappers from the digi community to take on this challenge.

(note: this was the very first digi page I ever created)
