September Cybercrop

Do you remember finding a box of photos at your grandparents or parents home, only to wonder who everyone is or when it the photo was taken?

I do, and I remember asking my Mum about the photos, only to get answers like...
" I think that is uncle ------ "

This month we are thinking about Journalling.  For a lot of us, journalling seems to be one of the most difficult parts of scrapbooking, We spend ages thinking of designs and colour combinations and how to use our many wonderful embellishments, but journalling is one of the most important details often forgotten or crammed in at the end.

We have 3 challenges for you using different types of journalling techniques, let's get back into the habit of adding some extra details on our pages :) 

Challenge 1 - Sketch with Journal Tags

For my page I've used Basic Grey Serenade papers, flowers from Green Tara, and my title is from our new range of chipboard from 2Crafty. 

I've left my journalling tags blank for the bride to write her own journalling.

Challenge 2: Journalling first

For this challenge I want you to write the journalling first- so you can make it a feature of your page rather than an add-on that you slip in there. This is a great chance to tell a longer story (though you don't have to make it as big as mine).

Supplies used: Simple Stories: Heart and Life in Colour, Thickers Foam and Chipboard.

Challenge 3: Document a person

Make a page about a person, rather than an event or location. 

This page describes my niece at 2 years old. I talks about what she currently loves, where she spends her days, there are some word to describe her character, and some important facts like that she still has an afternoon nap and enjoys helping with the cooking.

Supplies used: Fancy Pants Happy Place, Simple Stories Life in Colour, Amy Tangerine Foam Thickers, Basic Grey Alpha, Ribbon, Jillibean Word stickers.

Due date Sunday, 30th Sept.  Upload in to the correct photo album by midnight to the in the draw.
