Happy February! It's a new month, and so it's time for new monthly challenges to go up at ScrapGal.
This month I have the photo challenge.
Like I said in my last post, time seems to be flying by to fast as my children get older. When I saw this photo of my son staring out the window on a snow day last February, I felt a little tug at my heart. I found myself wondering what he was thinking.
And then I decided to do a layout totally unrelated to the photo, but speaking from my heart.
All product is from My Mind's Eye except for the letters that spell MOM (American Crafts) and the cardstock (Bazzill Basics).
So my challenge is to scrap a photo, but tell a story totally unrelated to what is actually going on in the photo. Be inspired by the feeling in a photo!
I could have done a layout about the snow day and how he wished he could go out but it was really just to cold and windy.
Instead I chose to talk about what I hope for him because the photo made me feel such a hopeful feeling. :)
Hope you will join in! And if you want to check out the other challenges by the DT members this month, you can find them on the monthly challenge board :)
