New YouTube Series... Art Journaling My Favorite Songs


I'm experimenting with a new series of art journaling inspired by my favorite music in my newest Homemade Journal! My first layout explores "Games People Play" by The Alan Parsons Project.

This is some great music in a symphonic rock genre! The album, The Turn of a Friendly Card, was released in late 1980. You can check out the entire album HERE.

The sentiment on the left hand page of the layout is part of the lyrics written by Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson.

Vocals on the song I've journaled, "Games People Play," are performed by Lenny Zakatek.

Check out the video below for ideas and info about how this layout was created.  You won't hear the song there, due to copyright and such, but you can listen to the above links!  ;)

Curious about this layout:  how it was made, the ideas or symbols in it, or other?  Join me at the video below.
