I am thrilled to share a new scrapbook layout that has been such a joy to create. This project is all about capturing the memorable year of 2013 for my family – filled with fun, laughter, and cherished moments. I’m also excited to announce that I’m entering these pages into the Lasting Memories Scrapbook Challenge #700, with the theme “Inspired By a Song.”
The inspiration for my scrapbook layout comes from the song “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” by Green Day, particularly the lines “It’s something unpredictable, but in the end it’s right. I hope you had the time of your life” perfectly encapsulates the essence of 2013 for my family. I’ve quoted these lyrics on one of the scrapbook pages.
The three-page layout showcases a variety of activities and events from 2013:
- Airsoft Battles: Capturing the adrenaline and excitement of fun-filled airsoft battles.
- 4-H Meetings: Documenting the camaraderie from our 4-H group.
- Piano Recitals: Highlighting the pride and achievement in our musical journey.
- Lakeside Visits: Reliving the peaceful and joyful times spent by the lake.
- Church Events: Cherishing the spiritual growth and community bonding.
- Birthdays and Celebrations: From soapbox derby rides to a lively work Halloween party.
- Family Christmas: The warmth and love of celebrating Christmas with family.
To bring these memories to life, I used the vibrant Full of Life DSP, paired with Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight cardstocks. These bright, lively colors perfectly reflect the joy and energy of the year. To add a touch of sparkle, I finished the pages with Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins. The result is a series of dynamic and colorful pages that truly celebrate our 2013 experiences.
Participating in the Lasting Memories Scrapbook Challenge has been a wonderful opportunity to push my creative boundaries and share my work with a broader community. The theme “Inspired By a Song” was the perfect nudge to connect music with memories, and I couldn’t think of a better song to represent our year.
I hope you enjoyed this glimpse into my scrapbook journey. Remember, scrapbooking is not just about preserving memories; it’s about celebrating them in the most creative and heartfelt way possible.
