A "Life Book" is a scrapbook that tells the story of a person's life. Scrapping such a book may seem like a daunting task, but we have broken it down into small pieces to make it easily attainable!Beginning August 31st, we will begin our second Life Book Series. We begin by choosing the subject we are going to scrap, and then interviewing them (if they are still alive) or family members to find the information needed for journaling. In week one, we will begin compiling our documents and information, and make a cover for our book.
We will do one layout a week for 26 weeks. By the end of March, you will have a completed book ready for printing. The book will include layouts about your subject's birth, childhood, parents, school days, siblings, young adulthood, marriage, children, homes, etc. Each week I will post detailed instructions to give you ideas about things you can include on your layout. I will also give you some sample layouts to look at and suggest some kits in the store that may go well with the topic.
As an added incentive, we will choose one random winner from the gallery each week to win a $5.00 gift certificate in the Heritage Scrap Store!
Please consider joining us, and pass the word to other digiscrapping friends or genealogists who may be interested in this challenge!
In the meantime, you can take a look at the forum threads from our previous Life Book Challenge, and check out the galleries for some inspiration!
We will kick off the 2nd Life Book Challenge on August 31st at 9 pm EST (6 pm PT) in the Heritage Scrap Chat Room. The directions for each week will be posted on Mondays just before the chat, and the winner from the previous week will be announced at the chat, as well.
I have posted the tentative schedule for Life Book II in the forum at Heritage Scrap. Feel free to take a look and plan to join us on August 31st!
