Story Scrapbook Challenge : Time

TIME!  It means different things for different reasons for everyone.  We all have the same 24 hours in the day, but time keeps ticking.  We use time, we waste time.  And that’s the story challenge this month and so many ways to tell a story about time.

Would you like to turn back time?  Tell a story about your favourite era. What were you like in your teens, 20’s, 30’s etc?   Is time of the essence?  Are you rushing from here to there and you’ve blinked and missed it – the babies are grown, your fresh new job has turned into retirement and you’re looking back on time since passed.

Is there a special person in this world or the next that you would like to spend more time with?  Is there a moment in your life that you’d like to experience again?  Tell us about it.  Can you sit down right now in this time we’re in and speak to the person you once were, give him or her some advice?

Would you like to tell us your favourite time of the day – is it stretching and waking and your morning routine?  Is it your evening rituals that fill your cup?   Are you always early or always running late?

So many ways to tell a story about time.  Your time, your story, your way.

The creative team have jumped on board with some terrific example pages:

One of our newest guest CT members Rae (bcgal00) what a fabulous page, into retirement, life on her own terms, well and truly making the most of the time she has at her disposal not having the daily work grind.  I love this so much.  Retirement looks good on you Rae!

All items that Rae has used are coming soon:  Vintage Mini Mix 18,  Partial Page Masks 04,  Readymade Layers Fall Clusters 22,  Layer Works 1762.

For the next page Liz (lizziet5) she has created a truly beautiful story here celebrating the passage of time with her sister.  And to be honest they look like twins, don’t you agree? And in true Liz style it is a page which is delicately beautifully designed.

And for my page (carollee) I decided to do a side-by-side comparison, gosh I tell you time truly does stand still and yet I look at the younger me and want to scream down the virtual passage of time and tell her “don’t waste it” !!
