Happy Monday!
Since today is a holiday here in the US, I hope you are doing something fun, and took lots of pictures and are here to get ideas on how to get them on the scrapbook page. Last week I showed you the left side of the sports page for my son, Will. Today I want to share with you the companion sketch and resulting scrapbook page. In this layout, I used a double mat to increase focus on the largest photo of the layout. I chose this picture because Will seemed to enjoy wrestling above all other sports in his school days. He turned 40 last year and I remember him telling his nephew he could still take him on… that didn’t go so well 🙂
I chose a tag to feature the football picture from his freshman year, the only year he played high school football, and a pocket for the journaling. This is a great way to include events or stories on your pages without putting that story out there for just anyone to see. I like to use pocket journaling when a detail might be a bit private, I still want to document the memory or thought, I just don’t need anyone else to read it, at least not at this time. Someone would have to make an effort to read the journaling, and that is not likely if someone is just flipping pages in your book.
Leave a comment below and tell me how you would use hidden journaling on your pages.
Creatively, Carol
While I had a few pictures of various sports, I wanted to show all the sports Will had participated in, so I chose one from each sport. You will see in the finished layout that I used metal spiral brads next to the first picture, and kept that theme going with punched spirals. I have yet to do the journaling but will get that done by next week when I show you the companion sketch to this page. If you like sketches, click here to look at another sketch I posted. I also liked setting the title on sideways to lend extra interest to the page.
