January 10 : 10 Photos that Relate

Thank you for the challenge.... I was a bit stumped wondering how to interpred 'photos that relate' concept... finally, I decided to go with relations and family - these photos tell the story of how we all learned to relate to one another and became a family against all odds and circumstances. They also loosely - and bizzarely - relate to our present circumstances - 15 years later we are in exact same position - moving to Jakarta for the second time with two teenagers - for the second time. lol... you couldn't make this up!!! There is more to the story in the gallery.

 
JANUARY 10TH : 10 PHOTOS THAT RELATE



Photos from my childhood home. The large image is my Mama sitting on the front steps. The small images are the realtor images from when we listed it.

@MrsPeel Cynthia - thank you so much for this challenge! I read it early and thought about it quite a bit. I knew what I wanted to do and then just took some time to locate my photos. This truly was a joy to create.
I'm also so sorry to hear that you can't be scrapping right now! I hope things resolve for you soon as I love to see your pages gracing the gallery. A double thanks to you for hosting this challenge.
Here's my page - all credits listed in the gallery as well as the relation explanation, per instructions.
Best to you!

 
Thanks @MrsPeel for an interesting challenge! I have used photos of my great-granddaughter wearing different hats. I love these photos and I love this resulting LO.
 
1. I am SO SORRY that I missed the chat @MrsPeel :cry
2. When I first read the title of the challenge I thought:"Whaaaat? Ten photos in a sequel?" :backingThen when I read your instructions I was sooo relieved! :dance
I hope I got this one right - the details are in the gallery.... :fairydance

 
There Are Such beautiful Layouts Here For This Challenge...For Me Personally...This Was The Hardest Challenge I Think I've Ever Done...10 Photos!...I Almost Gave Up Before I Started...I Actually Went With An Idea That @MrsPeel AKA Cynthia Mentioned On How This Challenge Could Be Completed...It Was So Difficult To Get Done...I Had To Take 10 New Photos To Complete This Challenge...& I Had To Do 10 Extractions On Top Of All That...Just Trying To Get 10 Photos Was Tough!...& Then I Had To Figure Out How To Put 10 Photos On A Page & Make Them Look Good Composition-Wise & Then Trying To Get Them All To Match Somehow...I Ended Up Using A Template...Because I Didn't Have The Time To Create My Own As I Normally Would...All 10 Of These Photos In My Layout Were Taken On The Same Day...IE : January 10th : Of Random Things Found In Our Apartment...This Was A Real Test Of My Photo-Taking Abilities...So Many Didn't Turn Out At All...& I Had To Change My Ideas Frequently Just To Get The Layout Completed...It Took Me 2 Days Off & On To Complete This Layout...To Make The Photos All Look Cohesive...I Did Each Row By A Different Color Scheme...But Kept The Background Paper The Same Under Each Photo Extraction & Moved The Paper Around To Give Each Square A Unique Look Based On The Photo Itself!...To Get The Cohesiveness I Needed To Make This Layout Look Somehow Not Like The Nightmare It Started Out Being...A Layout Should Never Take Off & On...2 Days To Complete...But I Needed To Find A Way To Be Both Somewhat Happy! With The Result After All The Work I Put Into The Layout...Originally The Idea Was A Bit Of Fun Taking Random Pics Around Our Apartment...Ray Really Helped Me Out With Ideas For Each Unique Photo...But After That It Was Up To Me...I Really Tried To Keep It Simple But The Layout Called For So Much More...It Became A Bit Of A Look Into Our Personal Lives...Our Trinkets & Some Of Our Everyday Things That Are Just Always Around...So Either Way...The Layout Is Finally Finished... Eventhough It Took Way Too Long To Create...Ultimately Ray Loved The Layout Though!...Glad For That...

*As Per The Rules : My 10 Random Things Are All Photos Taken The Same Day Of Things In Our Apartment : That's How They All Relate To Each Other :

Thanks for the challenge. I explained my 10 photos in the gallery. The elements that I added are: paint, stitches, tape, heart flair and flowers.
 


These are the cookies I make the most. I make a lot of them during Christmas time. I love baking. My family really likes that I bake too.

Loved this, my photos are all of Hubby and I. 5 elements - 2 pieces of twine (arranged to look like 1 piece!), 1 notepaper edger, 1 paper strip and a heart dangle. Let me know if the notepaper piece and paper strip count, because I can easily update it.
