JUNE/JULY Book of Me Challenge :) UPDATED
things got too hectic for me to do my TWIST prior to the due date...GRRRRRRRRRRRR 
Christi S  is my random winner for this "month" and I will NOT be posting the August challenge til MID month.....due to getting my DH moved to Texas....I will make that one a SPECIAL challenge with extra prizes  :)





This time the challenge is going to run til JULY 18th...........I will be gone June 28th thru July 16th....................so you have some extra time..........BUT before I leave on vacation I am going to throw in a twist of some sorts.......it might be a 2nd layout to do, or some sort of other challenge related to BOM..........I will explain it all then...........but the challenge I am posting is stand alone...  it is the actual challenge...have a confused you yet???  your twist will get you bonus entries for a $5 acot gc
with that said.......here is your challenge:

Let's dig realllllllly deep this time!  Find a photo from your childhood that holds great significance to you--and scrap that photo and what is important about that photo.  I KNOW my kids would never ever know the significance of the photo I chose and would've just tossed it....grrrrrrrrrrrrr
This challenge might be hard if you do not have photos from your childhood etc...if this is the case--I want to see some creative and HEAVY journaling about something significant in your childhood.

This challenge was emotional for me.............the layout came out VERY simple........but I am fine with that.........the journaling is more the focus-----------it is a photo of me from kindergarten that I found in my dad's wallet after he passed away...................and what that meant to me.............the poor photo is in rough shape and I am sure my kids would just toss it but now it is saved and the story is told!!!!!!!!

Wonderful idea. I have very few, if any childhood photos, so I will see what I can come up with.

My mother has pics of me so I'll see if I can "borrow" one from her. And I love the twist idea!

What a great challenge! And a touching story on your layout, as it mirrors my own Dad and his quiet love.  I know you will treasure this page forever, and I hope to make one that I can do the same!

I JUST pulled out a few childhood photos last night to scrap with! I was looking up ideas for BOM pages and when I found a few photos I started texting with my mom and asking a few things, checking if the photos were copies, etc. Hmm........now which direction to go with this?!

Beautiful journaling Carrie!  This is a great challenge.  Not sure if I can find any photos that aren't already scrapped.  But I can get creative.

Great example!  And, a nice challenge. I admit I've been avoiding scrapping many childhood photos, though. Image

Not that I had a sad childhood, but it makes me sad to go through my old photos--sad for some of my family . . .

Photo of me and my 2 brothers and 2 sisters, Easter 1962.
I'm the little redhead second from the right. Image

Journaling: This photo is very special to me because it's of the 5 of us and I don't have many of those as my oldest sister Linda was killed in a car accident when I was 9 and she 19. I feel like I was cheated because we didn't have much time together. This is how we always dressed for Easter with the girls all wearing white dresses, bonnets, and having little purses. The boys in suits. I love that this photo is in color so that I can see all the facial details. We didn't have many colored photos in those days. I sometimes wonder how different our family would be if she were still here.

Here is mine - my first day of school Kindergarten and my mother was in the hospital. This was taken by the woman who was caring for me and the family as a way for my Mom to remember the day.  I am "standing alone"  - lol - on the side of our house.

This is me and my sister, 1971.  I was 2.  I always wanted to do what my older siblings were doing and I was nicknamed "Me Too!"  I ended up teaching music for 12 years lol.

Re: JUNE/JULY Book of Me Challenge :) with a twist
This photo is extra special to me - it's my sweet little mommy pregnant with me. I wanted to document this picture itself for obvious reasons and to commemorate the 7th anniversary of her passing July 3. (miss you Mumsey)
Also a 2nd journal card to describe where the title came from - I found this photo last year around the same time, and it's what my hubby said - I wanted to document how he always knows what to say and can always make me laugh even when I am crying. 
2 reasons it's perfect for my BOM.
