Here and Now

One of the challenges we could take as part of the “Becoming More” class was to create a layout using no photos and just text. Initially I thought that this was just not possible for me to do as normally my journaling accompanies a photo. But I remembered a challenge set in Library of Memories calendar last year to create a layout using numbers as part of our every day lives. It was the “Finding Memories” class that made me finally take the plunge as I experimented with different styles and journaling. And so the “Here and Now” layout was born.
 
I used WordArt to create the title and a good old fashioned blue pencil to colour it in once printed off.

I think this may be a layout which I redo every year or so to get an update on the latest numbers in my life and capture how some things may of changed.

Lessons Learnt
  1. My scrapbooking layouts are created by the use of the photos and the story(s) I want to tell connected to them. 
  2. It is possible for some subjects to be all journaling but this is the exception. 
  3. Word Art can make some great titles if you want to play around with it for a different look.
