Do Something Layout

Matthew West has a great song called "Do Something" about not just sitting back and expecting God to solve all the pain and suffering in the world but actually getting involved in others' lives ourselves to help with their problems. It seemed like a perfect fit to use some of the lyrics on this layout featuring photos of my children helping out at our church's food drive. While creating this layout, I was inspired by a few tic tac toe challenges that gave me great ideas of items to add to my layout: the stamped and embossed title, the heart die-cuts, the rhinestone sparkles, etc. Love the finished product and hope you do as well.

The sparkles don't show up too well on my scan, so here's a little detail photo of the lower corner of the layout:
