Try using song lyrics in your next layout.

Song lyrics can be a great source of title and page inspiration for a scraper.

Music and songs play an important part in our lives. Hearing a song again can evoke a lot of emotion, bringing back fond memories of special times, special people and special places.

Of course, different songs mean different things to different people - but you can use songs to 'tap' into those memories to create unique, and highly personal scrapbook pages.

How do you use lyrics on your pages?

Well, here’s a scrapbook journaling idea for you to try using a wedding layout as an example.

If bride and groom have their own ‘special song’ then you use that to add a personal touch. If not don’t worry find another suitable song instead, there are lots of song lyric web sites on internet that you can browse.

Pick a section from your chosen song for example, first verse of “A Groovy Kind of Love” by Phil Collins and journal lyrics around edges of your page.

The use of deep beds as a method of growing crops has become very popular with organic gardeners for several reasons, including:

• once set up, amount of work you have to do every year (digging and so on) is much reduced
• there is an improvement in soil structure because of reduced compaction from being walked on
• you can cut down on amount of compost or fertiliser you use, because you don't waste it on areas that aren't going to be used for growing.

The basic idea of deep bed is that you divide your plot into sections about 2-3m (6-10') long by about 40cm (4') wide, separated by pathways about 500cm (2') wide. The dimensions are important: width should be no more than is comfortable to reach across (for weeding, planting, harvesting and like) from either pathway. The length should be long enough to be usable, but not so long that you are tempted to take a shortcut across middle. If you do find yourself doing this, cut bed in half with another path. When planning layout of deep beds, try to align them so that length of beds is on a north-south axis, to give crops maximum benefit from sunshine, and when planning cropping of beds remember to site tall crops on northern side so that they do not overshadow lower growing crops.
