Welcome to the sixth lesson in this 18 part Book of Me Album Class. Remember I am only an email away.
My Grandparents (pages 6 & 7)
This lesson is an opportunity to include photographs and journaling of your Grandparents (if you have them). If you don’t have much just include what you can. It is a good idea to use one side for your mothers parents and the other for your fathers parents. If you have only known one set of Grandparents or have accumulated some Step-grandparents you may have to adjust this theory a bit. Be honest and try to journal about them and their influence upon your life. You could also include any features or personality traits you have inherited from them.
Tips and Hints for completing your book:
* Keep collecting/copying every photograph with you in it
* Don’t have any or many photographs of yourself….Take some! Take lots!
* Get a notebook or cheap exercise book and write down anything about yourself as it comes to you
* Use stuff you love (scrapbooking supplies)
* This is a good opportunity to use up your stash
* You could use your favourite colour scheme
* Try something different or experiment on every page and use this as a way to build your scrapbooking techniques
* Use your own handwriting as much as possible
* Scraplift if you want to
* Be honest
* Use your own style of scrapbooking or try something a bit different
* Do the pages as simple or as elaborate as you choose
* Use hidden journaling to conceal sensitive or personal information
REMEMBER: This is your book about yourself and that means you get to do it how you want!
