Seasons of Change​


Last year, we focused on techniques to add interest to our layouts. This year, I am starting a new series. I would like to take this year to dive deep into telling meaningful stories and writing out some of those memories that I've been putting off creating layouts for.

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...our topic is Seasons of Change

November 19 | Seasons of Change

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. What is the current season?

***it's technically fall here, but it's CO and Mother Nature is a bit fickle...so it feels like winter already because it's snowy and soooo cold!***

2. What is your favorite season?

3. Tell a story about a big change in your life

4. Tell a story about overcoming a hardship in your life

5. Show the same photo from every season


Instructions
1. Use the prompt "Season of Change" - and you don't have to put the prompt 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. Make a page you LOVE.

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.

***You have 48 hours (from Nov 21 at 10am) to complete your LO***

Thank you for the chat & the challenge. It got me thinking, and I'm so grateful for this - I really really need to document things more & write more on my layouts.

Here's my layout:


I always translate my journaling in the gallery, but since this is a challenge about journaling - I paste the translation here as well:

It's happened a lot to me the last few years. It feels a bit weird, cuz inside my head, I'm still only 28, but my body is beginning to tell a different story. If I should set a starting point for this, it must be February 2020, when I had a vitreous detachment on my right eye. I think that was the first sign that I'm beginning to get old. Now I'm discovering new things all the time that I need. Femarelle to ease the hot flashes, silver schampoo to brighten up my grey hair, reading glasses and now the latest addition: eye drops for my dry eyes. So much is happening and there are things I don't recognize. We'll have to wait and see what happens next!​
 
I wasn't sure I was going in this direction, but I guess the feels needed to come out. Caution -- the journaling might lead to tears. I shed many as I worked with this photo and my thoughts.
