January 20: Storytelling

Oh my goodness, we're already nearing the end of the 3rd week of MOC! How does time fly by so quickly? I know it can feel overwhelming at times. So today, we're going to have some fun with storytelling. I think all of us have an item that just begs to have its story told. Maybe it's a family heirloom that's been passed down through generations. Or an ugly old recliner that he loves & you hate? I want you to think of an inanimate object that speaks to you and tell us its story. It can be the true history of the item or you can make up a story about what you think the life of the object might be. Maybe the couch has complaints about the people that sit on it? Whether it's true or made up, your challenge is to tell us a story.

Your challenge today is to create a page telling the story of an inanimate object.

Here are the requirements

1. You must create a page with a story about an inanimate object. It cannot be a pet or living thing.
2. You can include a picture of the object, or do a photoless page if you can't take a picture of it.
3. Your story must be at least 150 words.
4. Your journaling must be in complete sentences. Word art does not count toward your word count. You cannot use the same word over and over. You cannot use the same sentence over and over again. Journaling challenges are meant for telling stories; if your journaling is sensitive or personal, please message me or Julie (mrs2a50) directly to discuss.
5. Your journaling should be legible and readable. If your page is not in English, we ask that you translate your journaling to English and post the translation in your gallery credits. If your journaling has been distressed or your font is too small to read, you should post your journaling in your gallery credits. Again, if your journaling is sensitive and/or personal, please message me or Julie directly to discuss.

My page is about my friend Dizzy the Unicorn. 150 words, not including the fun facts!


Here are a some Polly pages for inspiration.



To recap the rules:
1. Tell a story about an inanimate object
2. Your story must be at least 150 words, in sentence form.


In addition:
Your page must be a new page in order to count for the Month of Challenges. Your page must be posted in three places:

1. Uploaded to the TLP Gallery (not an outside hosting site).
2. Posted in your page thread you created in the MOC Layouts Folder. You should have one post per completed challenge page. If you complete all 31 challenges, your thread should contain 31 posts. Please do not comment in the participants’ page threads so we can keep them clean.
3. Posted in this thread. People can comment here if they wish

Pages must contain at least 75% current Lilypad product (currently for sale in the store from either permanent designers or guest designers).

 

Updates and clarifications to the guidelines will be posted here as needed

• 150 words minimum, in full sentences. Christa found a free word counter online. https://wordcounttools.com/
• Story can be told from the item's, yours, or someone else's perspective.

 

You can absolutely be in the photo! Have fun, I can't wait to see your page!
