Hi Friends!
I am working my way through some of the stories over the past two years that I felt I really wanted to get on paper. Online school was one those stories that I had left untold. There seems to be so many “new normal” scenarios that I never dreamed we’d have to do and I feel it so important to document them. It’s been a little while since I’ve done a double layout. For this story, I wanted to show schedules and some of the “Google Classroom” rules so one page didn’t cut it. I found the lined paper in my stash – I seemed to be waiting for the perfect time to use it. That time was now! As I played with these photos across both pages, I found a balance that I quite liked. The Echo Park School Rules embellishments worked perfectly with the paper and photos along with some Elle Studio die cuts.
I am so happy to get these photos in my album. It was such a difficult time for me personally with a toddler yet I survived. I am so proud to have overcome these stages of life. Sometimes stories and photos are much more than glue and paper. Getting this page done felt more like my trophy. A reminder to myself that I can do hard things.
Get those untold stories documented! Especially those pandemic ones!
Until next month,
