If you're a regular visitor to my blog, you already know that I scrap my photos and stories out of order. It's so easy to scrap whichever photos inspire me since I set up my Library of Memories system several years ago. (BTW-the new Finding Photo Freedom workshop starts today and there's still time to join in! You can find me coaching there for the next 10 weeks and read about how I became a coach over on Sian's blog.)
Today's layout reaches all the way back to 1986! I started with this pre-printed patterned paper with a school days theme (notice the pencil & apple border along the bottom).
I actually followed the design of this paper as well as the school theme for a layout showcasing a photo & the program from the graduation ceremony when my Grandma received her GED. (Yes, that skinny little girl on the left is me as a high school junior!)
Journaling reads: I remember helping Grandma study for the math portion of the GED and how proud she was at the age of 56 to finally have obtained her high school equivalency certificate. She was a beautiful graduate.
I've completed a few more of these pages using pre-printed patterned papers and have two in progress, then I think I'll be ready to move on to a new challenge.
I love what you are doing with your pre-printed pages. Your latest layout is a great memory for both you and your grandmother.
ReplyDeleteYour story fits on that printed page perfectly - excellent choice!
ReplyDeleteI do love your "Photo Freedom" post
You're doing so well with these papers...and WTG Grandma!

Well done to both you and grandma on your achievements - looking forward and wondering what your next challenge is going to be!
ReplyDeleteOh well done on completing another page. I purged all my pre-printed papers years ago and then was surprised to get one from Basic Grey recently in a Studio Calico kit...
ReplyDeleteWhat a well-chosen oldie you've put to use. Well done.
