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:
