This layout contains our engagement photo, taken 10 years ago now! I thought this was the perfect photo for the theme of the challenge - to highlight the object of our affection. The song "Everlong" was OUR song, and each time I hear it, it reminds me of the newness of our relationship.
To use the lyrics in the song, I created a 12x12 overlay containing some of my favorite lines from the song and blended them into the background paper. I also created the wordart "everlong" using the text tool, rasterizing it, and then grunging it up with the brush tool.
I really wanted to keep this layout understated, simple, and focused.

I love the way you featured this photo. The simplicity of the page is deceptive, as there are so many cool features, such as the heart leaves, the buttons, the piercing and the outlining! Well done!
