Matt is jumping over the fire obstacle as he gets one step closer to the finish line in his second Spartan Race.
The eighth sketch challenge has been posted at the SCRAP & MUSIC challenge blog! Head over to the site to grab the sketch and play along. This eighth sketch came with the song “A thousand years” by Christina Perri.
My layout
In May my husband, Matt, participated in his second Spartan race, a 5-mile run sprinkled heavily with obstacles. It was actually his idea to use this photo of him jumping over the fire obstacle to go with the words to this ultra-romantic song from the Twilight: Breaking Dawn movies. He’s a true romantic!
Product/technique notes
The patterned papers I used on this layout are from the Bo Bunny “Trail mix” collection. I designed and cut my title using the Silhouette Cameo and also cut the arrow and barbed wire borders on the Cameo. I added some hand stitching around the edge of the circles to make them stand out more.
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:
“A thousand years” by Christina Perri
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I’m afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What’s standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more
One step closer
One step closer
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more
