Book of Me challenge 1

I hope this new challenge will inspire you to create a treasure for your future generations! I'll be here to help you every step of the way!

Although we won't go in chronological order, the beginning seems a logical place to start. In addition to title pages in my BOM, I also have dedication pages, a love letter of sorts to my family. You may want to work on these for your album as well. Here are the ones in my albums:

Title 2

Dedication

The challenge this month is to create a timeline of your life. A simple Google search will bring up many websites to help you "remember" what events have happened in your lifetime. For my birth year, I included average prices of gas, milk, homes and cars. In addition to major national events, I've included major personal events such as getting married, having children, buying our first home, etc. Here is the page I did several years ago:

When I was...

As you can see, I haven't left enough room for being older than 45, so I will be revamping this entire page. LOL

I hope y'all have a wonderful time with your trip down memory lane. :-) You have until Jan. 30th to send me your layout to Mi4Angels@aol.com.

OH! I almost forgot! Wanna see the prize this month? Do ya, huh, huh, do ya? :-D

January RAK

The winner will be chosen using a point system. I have a list of items I'm looking for on a layout, which of COURSE I'm not telling you what they are. They are common items that I'm sure all of us have. The winner will be the person who has the highest number of points using these items.

Good luck and have FUN! I look forward to seeing your creations! :-)

  3. ok - when you are my age, you have a long time period to cover! And, my BOM is 8x8. I did most of this digitally, but printed it out to add rhinrstones and the flower border. It's a lousy photograph, but . . .
