Weekly Challenge #47 8/11 -8/17

Good Morning Everyone!
I am here to bring you your next challenge. The title of this challenge is "Tell Your Story"!

Anyone who has looked at my photobooks knows that I love to journal. I actually jot down notes in a journal during our trips.....funny little stories, cute quotes, inside jokes, itinerary, etc. My daughter loves to read the journalling in our books. She reads them like storybooks.... over and over and over!

Your challenge is to create a page where the journalling becomes a major element of the page...... not just a small blurb added in a corner!
Photos are optional is this challenge!!!!!!!!!!!
Be creative

and add details to your journalling.
I know that this challenge is way outside the box for many of you..... but what good is a challenge if it's not challenging!

Here are a few examples of what I'm talking about.......

Please upload your layouts to the Challenge Gallery and the appropriate Forum Gallery. Once all that is done, I've got a little gift for ya........

Have fun with this challenge! I can't wait to read your story!

Journaling is my weakness also. Everyone else can make theres sound so cute and fun and mine just sounds blah and boring! Maybe if I can find the perfect picture I can figure something out..... OHHHH I Just thought of the perfect picture! Here I go!!

Does this one have to be Disney related? I have so much other scrapping to do and I am sure I can find one where a lot of journaling is necessary. I am also running out of Disney pictures at this point, since we have only gone once (even though our 2nd trip is coming up soon).

The PP is awesome!

Beautiful PP Natalie!! I can't wait for this challenge! I'm n 'Old School CM scrapper' so I usually scrap with simple lines and lots of journalling... but since I've gone digi....I have becomes so much more focused on the elements!It'lll be so good for me to get back to my roots!

Natalie!

What a great idea for a challenge and I am certainly challenged in this area!

My traditional albums have a journaling box on every page and only 30% of them are completed! I love reading the stories but sometimes I feel as if I am stating the obvious. I know and believe that this is one of the most important parts of scrapbooking but I am CHALLENGED!!

Anyone want to make suggestions on what you are thinking about when you start to journal about the pictures? I want it to say more than - We really enjoyed the parade... I am terrible about getting challenges done on time but I am defintely in on the one!

And I made a template from it, it´s in my blog, hope you like it, it´s my first template ever!!!. As it was made for all of you girls, the pw is very easy
