Great job with the quotes this month cherries!  I found a few that I may use in the future!

And our winner is #18, MaganL!  Congrats!!



Thanks for your patience Cherries. If you are curious about why I am so delayed in posting this challenge, or to see a cute pic of the grandkids who delayed me, see here: Why I'm soooo delayed!!

Because I am so late, and with NSD just 20(!!) days away, I'm posting this now but it won't be due until May.

But first I want to say how blown away I was by all of your entries last month - your cherrylifts of my layouts were amazing and and inspirational. Thank you. I still owe some of you some love and I WILL get to it this week!

A little different approach to journaling this month: sometimes what you want to say has already been said better by someone else!! I used to think it was taking a short cut, like cheating, to use quotes for journaling, but then I realized that some quotes already said everything I wanted to say. Why should I paraphrase a conversation when it was more effective to just recount the actual exchange?

So, for this month's challenge, your journaling must be a quote. Your quotes can come from almost any source, BUT they MUST be attributable - that is you must include the source, typically the person who said it!

For my first example, I've included a well know "inspirational quote" as my journaling and it includes the author of the quote.

In this second example I got the picture from a posting my daughter's neighbor put on facebook. So for my journaling I'm quoting the neighbor's post, and I have credited her with the quote.

This final example is from over a year ago - but it is a good example of quoting the speakers instead of summarizing what they said. Note that the speakers of each sentence are identified.



And before anyone asks, yes Bible quotes may be used but please cite "chapter & verse" (for example "To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven", Ecclesiastes 3:1) as well as song lyrics (your choice - include the lyricist or the performer, LOL)

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Fine print (LOL):

1) Entries must be new single or double page layouts and may be digital or paper.
2) Your journaling MUST be some form of a direct quote and MUST be attributed to the speaker
3) May be combined with one other challenge that allows combining.
4) Up to three entries allowed.
5) MOST IMPORTANT: HAVE FUN!

Entries are due 5/31/23

Love love love this challenge and your examples 

[blbabe1234]

Awesome challenge and I LOVE all of your examples

[SandyK1967]

Hello! Love this challenge and yes I have a question. Does the journaling have to be handwritten or typed. Or can it be on a sticker or a cut apart card already printed like from someone famous or well known? Thx in advance!

[Karyn_Sue]

Hello! Love this challenge and yes I have a question. Does the journaling have to be handwritten or typed. Or can it be on a sticker or a cut apart card already printed like from someone famous or well known? Thx in advance!

GREAT question - thanks!!! As long as the sticker or cut apart card attribute the speaker - or you add that info - that is perfectly acceptable. I've seen them both ways - where it is just the quote (usually this is true of lyrics) or of the quote with the speaker named (more common with "famous" quotes, but not always).

[SandyK1967]

Ok, got it, thanks! Yes, I've seen it both ways too, but have some with the speaker noted after the quote, will be fun!

[SandyJay]

Awesome challenge!  Such great example pages, love them all.

[Cynthia Corbett]

Love this idea. Kids say the darndest things.

[KristinG]

Love this challenge. Found this quote online (author at the bottom) found it so thought provoking and the perfect quote for the photos I took of these spider webs. I could not have said it better myself.  This will go in my animal photography album. 

[SandyK1967]

See close-up quote by Charles Dickens. It was a sticker. Combined with the Kid challenge.

[Tammey]

I love this friend quote but it has always been author unknown...

[JAire]

Here is my page using a coffee quote.

[Sharman Paulus .]

The inspiration for journaling was right on my scrapbooking paper!

[Scrapqueen141]

I used a quote from the Bible - "Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone forgive as the Lord forgave you. Colossians 3:13

[SandyK1967]

[Krystle]

The patterned paper says "not all who wander are lost - JRR Tolkin"

[Sharman Paulus .]

Fun challenge, thank you for hosting!

[Donna_Coughlin]

Here is mine, Karyn Sue, if you need a closeup of the quote PM me and I will get a picture of it.  The quote is the sticker next to the castle picture and it says "it's kind of fun to do the impossible "walt disney" " It's all on that tiny sticker! 

[Jolly Holly Scraps]

Here's mine. I used the qoute "A good snapshot keeps a moment from running away." By Eudora Welty.
I also combined with the Grab 5 challenge.
