If I'm not scrapbooking I'm thinking about scrapbooking!

These photos are from the Diocesan mass of ordination in June, when five men were ordained as Catholic priests. It was so moving.

The ninth sketch challenge has been posted at the SCRAP & MUSIC challenge blog! Head over to the site to grab the sketch and play along. This ninth sketch came with the song “I still haven’t found what I’m looking for” by U2.

Scrap & Music sketch #9

My layout

I found this piece of music a challenge to create with at first. I mean, it feels when I listen to it like it’s about dissatisfaction, doubt and searching without yet finding. So I had a difficult time figuring out how to pull together the tone of the lyrics with any personal photos I have to form the basis of a scrapbook layout.

But with repeated reading of the lyrics, I was finally struck by the line, “I believe in the Kingdom Come.” Why yes, I do! And because I often take photos of events at my church in order to do their website and social media, I have photos from an ordination mass that took place there earlier this summer. It was difficult to choose just two photos once I started reviewing all the beautiful moments from that mass.

And so my layout came together rather easily after that. It was so moving to witness five men dedicate their lives to the service of God and human kind, so I am quite happy to have chronicled this event with a layout.

*Note: The priest in the left photo who is praying over one of the candidates for ordination is our pastor, Fr. Danny Garcia. The main celebrant of the ordination mass, who is incensing the altar in the right photo, is the Bishop of the Diocese of Austin, Joe S. Vásquez.

Product/technique notes

The patterned papers I used on this layout are all from My Mind’s Eye; the background is from the “Lost & Found collection,” and the other patterns are from the “Lost & Found 2: Sunshine” collection. I designed and cut my title using the Silhouette Cameo and spritzed it with Heidi Swapp Color Shine in the gold lame color so it would pop a bit as well as lead your eye back to the photos (the priests’ robes have gold accents).

The challenge

The challenges on this blog involve following the sketch and using a title on your layout with a line from the provided music. Below I’ve included the video as well as the lyrics for this song:

“I still haven’t found what I’m looking for” by U2
I’ve climbed the highest mountains
I’ve run through the fields
Only to be with you (2x)

I’ve run I have crawled
I’ve scaled
These city walls(2x)
Only to be with you

(2x)
But I still haven’t found
What I’m looking for

I’ve kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire

I’ve spoken with the tongue of angels
I’ve held the hand of the devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone
(2x)
But I still haven’t found
What I’m looking for

I believe in the Kingdom Come
Then all the colors will
Bleed into one
But yes I’m still running

You broke the bonds and you loosed the chains
You carried the cross
And my shame
You know I believe it
(4x)
But I still haven’t found
What I’m looking for
