Lisa's Challenge

Happy Monday, Studio Calico friends! It's Lisa here today, and I'm bringing you our weekly challenge. This week, I'm challenging you to scrap a photo from the same month, but a different year. Look back through your photo files and see what you were doing in February in past years. It would be fun to compare and contrast your photo to the present, or you can just jot down a few thoughts about it like I did with mine.

I chose to use a photo from 5 years ago - I can't believe how little my boys look. I was scrapping back then, but never did anything with these photos. It probably didn't occur to me to record it since these car rides happened all the time back then! It really adds a new perspective when you're years separated from the photos - I can't wait to see what you find to scrap!
Supplies: cardstock - Vanilla Cardstock; patterned paper - Elementary Atmosphere, Elementary Penmanship, Countryside Wildflower, State Fair Midway; stickers - Yellow Label Stickers, State Fair label stickers, Countryside Label Stickers; chipboard - State Fair chipboard alphabet; Tag - Countryside Die Cut tags; veneer - Veneer Frames; other : foam adhesive, Tiny Attacher

For my page, I mixed Studio Calico's new lines, Countryside and State Fair (you'll be seeing them pop up in stores in mid February!), along with their last release, Elementary. The tones in these lines coordinate beautifully! I started by framing my focal photo with the veneer frames, and then added my second photo and title along side it. I'm loving the die cut tags in the new lines and couldn't resist adding one below my photo. I finished the page with a triangle of accents to help draw the eye through the layout.

You have until February 14th to take on this challenge - I'm excited to see your pages! Post a link to your project in the comments for a chance to win a $5 GC to the Studio Calico store!

Me, too, Diane :)
I just did a challenge like this month scrapping similar photos from different times on one page.
It was lots of fun!
So I'm looking forward to this challenge :)

I was 8 months pregnant last February, and have recently been pretty reminiscent about it... this challenge gave me the push I needed to make a layout about those memories and the changes I have been through. Thanks, Lisa!
