As a scrapbooker, I take a lot of photos. I am always thinking about how I'll scrapbook the special occasions or ordinary moments in our lives. When I attended the Thriving Pink Renewal Retreat, I made the decision ahead of time not to take a single photo during the entire weekend. Not only did I want to be fully present for every minute of the retreat, but I didn't want to risk having someone in my photos who didn't want to be in them. Not everyone wants the world to know they have cancer, or wants to be photographed during a vulnerable time. Fortunately, the organizers took pictures. I printed three of the group photos that were published publicly and used them to make this layout:
I kept the journaling pretty basic. I intentionally didn't label the attendees, since I knew I would be sharing the page online. Instead, I wrote everyone's names on the back of the layout so that it's properly documented.
This was the second page I made during the first week of the BYSS World Series. Once again, I earned three points: one for the color inspiration, one for the letter stickers, and one for the use of glitter (the silver glitter stickers around the journaling). I'm particularly pleased with how well I used the color inspiration. Mostly pink (with stripes), some white, and small pops of green and teal - nailed it! The inspiration page is by Kim Munro.
It feels great to be scrapbooking again! I didn't make a single layout for nearly 8 weeks - first while we were traveling and then while I was blogging about the trip. That's a really long time for me to go without scrapping, but I'll be making up for it through the rest of the BYSS World Series!
