JAN09VSBNL - Tell Your Story!
TELL YOUR STORY!! HERE WE GO!!!
I am so excited to be hosting a challenge for you guys! I've never done anything like this before so I hope you all have fun fun fun!!!
I have a two part challenge for you..First ..everyone has a whole bunch of photos of a particuliar event or day that you just don't know how to scrap. Probably there are 10 or more photos of the same event and you just don't know how to incorporate them all...If they're like mine...the photos themselves maybe aren't even all that great, but the STORY..the STORY is what has to be told because although the photos maybe aren't "all that" the memory is what will be there for you to share forever!! Part one of your challenge is to get those photos out, get them scrapped and get that story told!!!
Part Two of your Challenge is... I have a sketch to help you along and a layout to share with you as well!! You can find the layout at the bottom of this post orhere in the gallery
I put 13 pictures on this one page layout!! Notice my photos as a whole aren't that great, but this was one of my favorite days ever! (Volunteering with the USO to make care packages for the troops in Iraq..Craig Morgan came and gave us a hand AND a free concert!!)
So Get Scrapping...Grab those photos you've been putting aside forever and get that story down!!One more thing...when you upload please use keyword JAN09VSBNL so everyone can look at your wonderful creations!!
Rules:
RULES: You have two hours to complete this challenge. (That's two hours start to finish not two hours from time posted.) When finished please upload your layout to the gallery using the code JAN09VSBNL then link your creation to this thread! You must do both upload and link to this thread! Layouts must be completed and uploaded AND linked by Sunday February 8th! I have some wonderful Unity stamps to give away sponsored by the lovely Christi Snow from their DT!!Thanks for Playing!!

LOL..thanks! I took a lot of this day, but we were so busy that I wasn't all that thrilled with a lot of the photos on their own..the event was held in an airplane hanger on a cloudy day so they were all so dark! Good Luck!

it can be any amount really...the point is really to just get that event scrapped that you've been putting off because you're not that happy with the too many photos you took..LOL
the sketch is just a guideline:mrgreen: |

this is exactly the type of sketch I needed for the right side page for the one of the early challenges, the one with having to Journal your little heart out. PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT. (as a side note, I haven't done the previous challenge yet, but now I am a little more motivated, and I have food in my belly now too)
THanks for a great challenge

I was just there a couple weeks ago (JAX) and I really liked it (except for const on 95!) I hadn't been to that part of the state before. __________________ Lela -- Scrap Blog -- Come Scrap With Us ---- YTD 87 / 300 Pages 2023 -- 64 / 252 Cards 2023

Oh, thanks for saying this!! I will do those two together as well. I am starting with this one, but this event has quite a story to tell, so it will be perfect. Thanks for the great idea! __________________ Natalie

hehe, well I guess that's what grandkids will do for you, hopefully I am caught up before that thought even enters our minds (at least 20 or more years away - I hope!!!) __________________

You're right Lela, that is what I meant! There's no way in this world I'd even dream of getting caught up with all my scrapbookin! If I stacked all my pics in a pile they'd go to the moon! And I'm still taking pics! __________________
