Good Morning, and welcome to Week 8 of our Life Book Challenge! By the end of this week, you should have at least 8 pages of your book finished!
This week, we will be preserving FAMILY MEMORIES.
This is a rather broad topic and will be specific to whatever Family Memories you happen to have for your subject. This could include Family Trips, Family Pets, Family Events, Family Holiday, Family Quilts or objects passed down, Celebrations, Birthdays, or Family Cars, just to name a few. (We will be doing our Homes later, and Hometowns next week, so try to find something not related to home for this chapter.)
Remember, this is your life book, so please do as many pages as you need to do to get your stories told. You may be able to make a layout for each of these topics and more, or you may be struggling to come up with one. I'm sure you can think of something that your descendants will find interesting.
Some of our Life Book Veterans offered these suggestions: If you don't have a specific memory, why not scrap your memories of your subject? Or do a page about something that happened in history or other traditions that were common during your subject's lifetime.
Here is a page I did about a Family Trip my Dad made with his family when he was a boy. He told me about the trip, but his sister (the little one struggling to “hold it” until after the picture was taken
) also told me her memories of their trips to visit their cousins. I included both of their memories in the journaling. (Click image to view larger in the gallery.)
I found a photo of the Model T Ford that was like the one they took on their trip and blended it into the bottom of the page to add a little historical interest. (The Studebaker that his grandfather owned was used in the Word Art at the top. This word art can be found in my Antique Car Page Kit which would work well if you are scrapping memories of a family car or trip.)
Here is a page Vintage Vicki made highlighting a Family Reunion. Reunions always create family memories! You can see she included a lot of journaling on this page, but the pictures also tell the story.
This is such an interesting topic and I can't wait to see what you all come up with!!
THIS WEEK IN THE STORE:
I've included several kit suggestions throughout this post. You'll find some Family Memories Word Art in my Family Word Art Set that would work well for this week. And if you came to the chat this week, you got a nice Family Word Art Set free!
When your Layouts are done, please post them in the Life Book Gallery for Week #8: Family Memories.
(And be thinking about your subject's Hometown for next week – that may take a little advanced planning.)
Please try to go to the Week 8 thread in the forums and post a link to your layout when it's in the gallery so we don't miss it. If you need directions for posting links, please see my tutorial here.
One winner will be randomly chosen from the gallery next week. Please try to have your layouts posted by about 8:45 pm (ET) or so. Layouts using at least 50% Heritage Scrap products will be eligible for the drawing, and those using 50% or more of my products, get a posting bonus.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss anything about this topic of your Life Book, please post here in this thread.
Thanks! Can't wait to read your family memories!
