It all changes -- Jan Theme challenge

by moodyonceamthJan 2, 2008
I went in a little bit of a different direction with this one...instead of changes I want to make, I did a layout about a change I've already seen. This is a playground where I spent a lot of time as a kid.

Journaling reads: "In the summer of 2006, we were visiting Corry and I thought I'd take the kids to the old neighborhood playground where I spent so much time as a kid. This place was just a corner lot about a block from our house--nothing fancy--just a swingset, some monkey bars and a slide, bordered by a huge factory parking lot. My brothers, sister, and I loved it though.
I was surprised and disappointed to find it looking so abandoned. No swings; rusty steps on the slide; slats missing from the one lonely bench. I guess such a humble playground isn't too attractive to kids today. It made me feel old."
On the journaling card, I put a quote that seemed fitting: I Corinthians 13:11: "When I was a child, I spoke as a child; I understood as a child; I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things."

Unknown cardstock. Patterned paper and journaling card are Jennie Bowlin Studios. Bracket and word strip stickers are Creative Imaginations Narratives. MM letter stickers and felt Thickers. Thanks for looking!

It goes without even saying that the story here is a lasting memory, but the design is perfect, Amy--balance in the photos, bracket, the tilt of the verse card. Love it!
