Quote Challenge - August

[Snickerdoodle Designs]

Do you struggle with journaling on your pages?
Have you ever used or considered using quotes to express yourself?
This is one of my very favorite things to do so I am challenging you to give it a try this month!

Here's how it works....

I give you a quote, and you scrap it. Simple :)

The point is to select a photo that demonstrates the quote.

Use any kit you like, but if you use a kit that is from the Den (any designer) I'll give you a gorgeous QuickPage as a treat.

Here's what we're going for:
This is a photo I took of my granddaughter, Emily, and my Mother-in-Law. Mariah, of my Creative Team, did some fine editing of the photo and was kind enough to create this LO as my example.

So show us what YOU meant to say.... and take home this sample as a QP.

The quote is: "We are always the same age on the inside." - Gertrude Stein

[Snickerdoodle Designs]

Bernie! It's lovely!!!! Gorgeous! What makes it unreal for you?

[BernieTuffs]

well, what I mean to say is...it's can't be as if in real life, as they're standingon a flower, rotfl, but it's not true fantasy either as it looks like a real setting...didn't know what to call it really, LOL, but I'm not very confident about new trains of thought I have like this, LOL!!!! I do like the page though!!!

[Mariah]

[cats4jan]

I'm at a loss - at first thought, I don't want to use "real people" but, after that - I don't know which way to turn. :confused:

[Snickerdoodle Designs]

Oh, love that Mozz! That's you in the mirror, of course, right??

Miss Pepper - oh.. what lovely animals! I LOVE the photos of them in the wagon.. TOO cute!!!

Both LOs are GREAT for this challenge!!!

Jan - hmmm...nature photos?

[Karen]

This has been a real challenge for me but I eventually came up with something which I hope is acceptable.

Karen

[Snickerdoodle Designs]

It is more than acceptable, Karen. It is perfect! The blended photo is fabulous... a great photo! And I love the other photos you have chosen to demonstrate this quote. It was worth waiting for!

[Karen]

Thank you Karen, pleased you like it.

I really liked this quote. Most of the time I still feel like I did back in high school days - until I look in the mirror, of course. :D

[Snickerdoodle Designs]

Oh, Phyllis! ME TOO! Maybe I should have used the quote: "How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?" Lovely LO and fun to see HS and "now" photos!

Super cute, Roxi! How lovely for your children to have such a fun Dad! Really like the colors you chose and the masks behind the photos!

[Diane]

[Snickerdoodle Designs]

Oh, Diane! I'm certain I have a photo of myself in that exact same pose!!! If I had the time I would dig it out!!! Love the way you did this - the b/w is effective with the colors you chose...
Ellen - Love your unique ... uhmmm.. my brain is dead.. the way you typed the quote... ;) Your blending is lovely too... Such a cute photo!

[Sassy]

I'm an absolute quotaholic and I use quotes a lot to express the photos on a layout so I'm going to love these challenges :)

[Andrea]

Lovin the layouts I see here... Gave me a couple of ideas for this quote!

[NancyP]

Fantastic quote!! Here's mine.

Sassy! I'm so glad you are a quote lover! ME TOO! It is so fun to see everyone's take on it.

Nancy - Love the photos choices! And the LO is great. Gorgeous blending of the papers, and I really like how you did all the layering!

Lana Sue - Wow! That was a lot of work! Looks lovely. Love the look of all "bulletin board!" So cute.

Hope I do this right. I always have a hard time attaching the picture to my post. This was fun and I used Snickerdoodle's Outside My Window kit. : ) Mendy

[Karen]

You've got it right Mendy and it is a beautiful layout. I left some love in the gallery for you.

Karen

[Snickerdoodle Designs]

Yes! Done perfectly! Love the way you put the photo in the mirror! Thanks for playing along!

[Andrea]

I really had a tuff time with this for the lack of photos....The other day Sadie was just being lazy and I asked her if she wanted to go bye bye... she loves to go for rides.....It was as though you gave her an energy drink....

Same Age (http://www.digitaldesignden.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=1217&title=same-age&cat=538)

when I saw this QP I knew immediately what I would do with it, these youngsters are a friend's grandparents who were married for over 60 years, and passed away within 6 months of each other not long after this photo was taken

[Karen]

I've left some love in the gallery Sassy. The QP is beautiful isn't it?

Karen

[Snickerdoodle Designs]

Ahhh.. Thanks, Sassy. That is lovely!

[Laura]

Your layout is lovely, the sentiment so very precious! What a treasure for your friends!
