Well, I said yesterday that I was going to scrapbook about a subject outside my friends and family. I decided to document an event. Usually when something major happens, we like to remember where we were when we heard the news (when Michael Jackson died, when the Challenger Space Shuttle exploded) and what we felt when we heard it. Some things are important to us, some aren't. But that's what scrapbooking YOUR LIFE is all about. When you look back through your pages and read what was going on at that particular time, you will be amazed that you were able to capture that pivotal moment. As soon as you look at the picture and read the journalling, everything about that event should be able to come back to you just like it happened yesterday. Believe me when I tell you that you will appreciate documenting that moment. My subject matter was the death of Amy Winehouse. I liked her music but I wouldn't call myself a definite fan. But what I can tell you is how I felt when I heard the news that she died. I think those moments are good to remember and to capture. It doesn't have to be all about the kids or the trips you take. It's about what's going on in our life. Right now.
The colours that I used were all my favourites: Elegant Eggplant, Lucky Limeade and Wisteria Wonder. I'll have to use this colour combination on a card because it just gives it that elegant factor.
Hoped you like this layout. It was easy to put together and quick to finish. I challenge you to scrapbook an event that was newsworthy that touched you in some way. You'll be surprised by the results.
