Hey Scrappers!

One fun thing you can do on a layout is add the lyrics to your favorite song…or a song relevant to the memory you are scrapping.  Lyrics to a song are typically copyrighted (there are very few exceptions) so you won’t find a paper with the lyrics to Spoonful of Sugar in a Mary Poppins kit, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make your own.

Create a text box the size of your paper.  Then either type the lyrics or copy and paste them from a lyrics site on the internet.  Paste them over and over until it fills the space.  Tweak your font, alignment, & leading until everything looks right.  You can also play with the blending modes & opacity.  Ta Da!  Now you have a new paper perfect for your memory.
