Because one layout wasn't enough for this tune!



Yes, it is true; I already journaled this tune~ Stairway to Heaven~ and you can view it HERE. However, I had to create a sort of response in my journal.  Some tunes just merit more than one layout, and for me this one could go on for pages!  

Here is my take on these pages.  Please, feel free to interpret/decipher for yourself, since that is what art journaling is supposed to inspire!  

As well as the tune, I was inspired by this beautiful digi from Polkadoodles ~ January Knowledge is Everything.  This studious girl acquiring knowledge to gain reason seemed perfect for the layout.  The patient look in her eyes also moved me into the direction of the lyrics of 'listening' and 'standing long'!  All of this takes us back to the "All That Glitters is Gold" Layout from before and the Psalm reference.  

 I have included three embossed notes on the right side of the layout symbolizing for me listening, reasoning, and knowledge/wisdom.  Of course, this is all up to the one viewing as to what it holds for her/him.

  2. This is sincerely FABULOUS!!! That song and image and layout have all brought back high school memories for me....that layout is a piece of my teen years. What a wonderful idea to "journal" a song. When I have time for ME I hope I remember this because I would actually love to create a journal filled with songs that make me happy. Thank you so much for entering our challenge at Crafter's Castle this month....good luck :)
    Hugs... Janie

  3. One of my favorite songs of all time, I love it. My friend plays it on his steel drums. This is not only a lovely song, but an inspirational journal entry, too. Colorful, perky, and filled with whimsy, I was not only impressed, but thrilled you shared it with us at Art Journal Journey, too.
