NEW Week 4: Challenge 8 - Telling What WAS

Part of being a Master Storyteller involves understanding yourself, what makes you tick, what makes you YOU. And since the acronym for We Are Storytellers is WAS, Challenge 8 is to tell about what was. What shaped you, what made you the person you are? You can use this challenge as an emotional outlet if you want, to tell a story of joy or sorrow. Or, you can use this as an opportunity to scrap about who you are and tell your story, since we scrappers tend to focus on others for our pages. For my page I chose to stick with my habit of scrapping dog pages, but turned it around a bit to talk about what I've learned from my dogs over the last 20+ years:



Here's your challenge:
* Scrap a page about "what WAS."
* Scrap it in a layout that has at least 50% of any TLP products. Journaling should be the primary storyteller.
* Post your layout in this thread and in our gallery.

And some other examples: From Rachel, who did a page "all about me"



And from Amanda, who also did an "all about me" page:



Li Li went with a page that was an emotional outlet:



And finally from Karen, who scrapped about her childhood home and how that shaped the person she became:



The deadline for this challenge is September 1 at 11 pm EDT.
The Pollys will choose one layout as our Storyteller Standout from this challenge for a $10 prize.
One random layout will receive a $5 participation prize.

I hope everyone enjoys scrapping about themselves! I'm super excited to learn more about you all!
