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, Farrah has continued the storytelling slow scraps, and they now coordinate with the Finding Me In 2023 series. I will now be helping with these storytelling slow scraps.
Each month, please join me for an *extra* slow scrap. I will host 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 related to this quote:
“In summer, the song sings itself.”
July 2023 | Summer Song
You may interpret the prompt in any way that is meaningful to you. Here are a few ideas to get you thinking.
1. What does summer sound like in your part of the world? Tell a story about the different sounds of summer, now or in your past.
2. Tell a story about a song or songs that remind you of summer.
3. If you would like to coordinate your LO with this month’s Finding Me in 2023 theme, then pick your favorite summer song and journal about why you love that song so much.
Instructions
1. Use the theme of summer song - 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 you
3. Photos optional
4. Use some of this week's sale products! Art Journaling + Mixed Media, Ephemera, and Stamps are ALL at 30% off through Sunday, July 16!
5. Make a page you LOVE.
You have 48 hours to create your LO. They are due 7.17.2023 at 11 am EDT.
Please post your completed layout in The Lilypad gallery. GALLERY RULES: Layouts must contain at least 50% TLP products (Templates count as 15%). Uploads must be less than 250k. List all credits; no off-site linking allowed.
