Design Team Challenge with Karen Grunberg

Mom always said "Use your Words!" Ok, well my mom didn't or at least in English.

So my challenge, as you might all be SHOCKED to find out, is about Words. So many of you so much of the time say that you wish you journaled more. So many people say that to me so I figured here's the nudge you need.

Here are the rules.

1. Make a layout with journaling on it. (More than TWO sentences. If you want to push yourself put a LOT of journaling. Like paragraphs (gasp!).

2. You can use sentence strips or blocks of journaling. But the deal is you write the journaling FIRST and then you design the layout around that, not the other way around.

3. If you want to be EXTRA daring, use a far-from-perfect photo along with the words. We scrap the perfect photos all the time but the not so great ones have some wonderful stories sometimes. And they deserve to be told, too.

Here are some examples from me:

Two recent ones with strips and bad photos:

and an old one:

Ok now your turn. Come on, take this chance to journal a story! You know you wanna! Upload your completed projects to this thread. Challenge ends January 23rd.
