Scrapbook YOU! Day 14 {The Teen Years}

Today we are scrapbooking your hopes and dreams from your youth.

DETAILS:

  • What did you want to be when you grew up?
  • How did you envision your future?
  • What were your hopes, goals and dreams?
  • What did you dream your life would be like?
  • Where did you want to live?
  • What were your plans after school?
  • What are you proud of? What did you accomplish?
  • Who supported these dreams?
  • What characteristics did you admire and strive to achieve?

PHOTOS:

Any photos of yourself as a teen will work. If you have photos of yourself receiving an award or involved in an activity that is similar to the goal mentioned that would be perfect!

Example:

In the sample layout I scanned and printed a yearbook photo (the black and white photo in the middle).

A different approach!
This example layout takes a different direction. Instead of talking about what I wanted to be, it speaks about the qualities and characteristics I admire.

DESIGN TIPS:

Symbolism: Consider using the symbolism related to dreams on your page. Clouds and stars are often used to symbolize dreams. You can also try balloons, ladders and keys.

Try a fun journaling technique on your page.

  • Highlight important words in your journaling.
  • Print journaling on strips.
  • Use descriptive words to make the journaling more colourful.

Add a motivational quote. Here’s a few to get you started:

  • Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway. -Earl Nightingale
  • Dreams don’t work unless you do.
  • If it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you.
  • Set your goals high, and don’t stop until you get there. – Bo Jackson
  • There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind. – C.S. Lewis
  • The most important thing about goals is… having one.
