Here's another view of my This and That Journal. I'll just call this "Sunday" because that's really what it was! I love that! – Mostly because I NEVER would have scrapped a Sunday that wasn't a "special" Sunday! That's what this book is about! Just "This and That" in your life! The left page is a Sunday we had at my Mom's where we were having a reunion with my neighbor growing up who was a good friend. We used to walk to school together every day and since there was always something on the stove at my house, he would come over and eat! He still talks about my mother's meatballs! LOL! As is often the case, we lost touch for a couple of DECADES and reconnected on Facebook. He brought his family over for a Reunion BBQ with my family. The crazy thing is, I FORGOT TO TAKE PICTURES! I remembered right after they left and I felt so bad about that 'cause we had such a great day! So…I decided to take pictures of us instead and just record the event so I could remember it anyway!
The right side of the page is a compilation of pictures I took with my new Fuji Instant Camera. It's like the old Polaroids – the picture comes right out of the camera and develops in seconds (or maybe minutes haha). These photos were taken with the camera and are about the size of a credit card. I love how the Washi Tape makes it look messy! I actually stuck the photos down with SNAIL adhesive and used the Washi Tape for decorative purposes. Who would have EVER thought we'd be using TAPE to creation a "sloppy" illusion! LOL!
As you can see, I am having a blast with my This and That Book! I encourage you to try it! I will compile and post all of the great ideas I get. Send me yours for a chance to WIN a FREE This and That Journal of your own!
