Hi! Welcome to 2023! The challenge team, along with Cheryl Ashcraft is hosting the new monthly challenge series, Finding Me In 2023. The goal of this series is to help you create an album of layouts specifically about you. Each month, a new theme will be presented along with one or more example layouts. By the end of the year, you will have a cover layout, at least 12 layouts, and an ending layout.
Last year, Farrah started a new series of storytelling slow scraps. We dove deep into telling meaningful stories and writing out some of those memories that we had been putting off creating layouts for. This year, we are continuing the storytelling slow scraps, but coordinate them with the Finding Me In 2023 series.
Each month, please join us for an *extra* slow scrap. There is a chat with a prompt and ideas for multiple ways to document stories within the prompts. Then, you will have 48 hours to create your layout...yep...extra time, in case you need to find a photo or rustle up a memory.
This month, we are going to tell a story that reminds you of this quote:
“Books are a uniquely portable magic.”
―Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft
September 2023 | Books are magic
You may interpret the prompt in any way that is meaningful to you. Here are a few ideas to get your mind thinking deeper.
1. If you would like to coordinate your LO with this month's Finding me in 2023 theme, then consider the role books have played in your life.
2. Tell a story about a book that transported you to a different place or time
3. Books have the ability to open our minds and make us think. Share about a book that kept you thinking long after you finished reading it.
Instructions
1. Use the idea Books are magical - and you don't have to put the title on your page, but please make it obvious that it's for this scrap. Feel free to change up the prompt...but it should be clear that it's for this specific scrap.
2. Add a meaningful story - yes...journal! but there isn't a limit or certain amount....it's all up to you
3. Photos optional
4. Make a page you LOVE.
You have 48 hours to create your LO. They are due 9.17.2023.
