Description:I finally completed a layout for a challenge!! I really wanted to to this one too. My goal for this was to use up some of the supplies I never use. I didn't have enough letters for the title so I used my rarely touched rub on letters and finally cracked open the Tim Holtz Grungeboard I have had for over a year.
The Journaling States:
Sometimes when
I am driving or walking,
I think about what
the soundtrack would
be if songs were playing
in the background
24/7. I know that with
each decade of my life,
the type of music
would be different.
In my teens, the songs
would be filled with
sadness and angst.
Heavy metal ballads
were my favorites. Bands
like Def Leppard,
Dokken and
Bon Jovi blared from
my boom box.
The music in my early twenties would be
depressing. I was
“finding myself” during
this time. “Dust In the
Wind” by Kansas or
“Trouble Me” by the
10,000 Maniacs or
anything by The Cure
might be playing
in the background.
As for my late
twenties, early thirties,
the songs would be
more mellow. Bands like
U2 or Green Day would
be blaring from my
radio during this
period of time. There
would be a mix of
songs that contained
upbeat and some
thoughtful lyrics.
As for my late 30’s,
the music would be characterized as “angry music,” as Charlotte
calls it. Evanescence,
Muse, AFI, My Chemical Romance would be
playing in the
background. These
songs would not be
because I was
particularly angry
but fit the determination
I have felt to
accept myself.
Who knows what
music will be playing
now that I am 40.
I am at peace and pretty much accept myself,
warts and all. Maybe I
will write my own songs!!
The box just has a bunch of songs. Thanks for looking!! Nora
Great layout!!!! I love this. Do you ever get those very small-sized CD's in the mail - advertising Yahoo or something like that? I've used those on layouts before and they work great as an embellishment. You could cover the printed section with something appropriate.
