Book of Me Scrapbook LayoutsWhat a Great Opportunity to Tell who the Keeper of the Family Diary is!As the family historian and quite often the photographer as well, do you forget about putting something about you in your pages? Who is this person that has become the keeper of the family diary? Don't forget as the family historian, it is important that you are in the scrapbook as well. Don't be embarrassed. Others really want to know who you are and what makes you so very special. 
What a great way to start your Book of Me Scrapbook Layouts with this page kit, and the journaling die cuts that say "Camera Shy", "Snap Shots" and "Say Cheese." And just like you are curious and would like to know one more little thing about who is in that old photo, or how did that photo come to be taken, or how did those two people called my grandparents meet; you need to supply some of that information to those who will one day want to know more about you - therefore we all need some page layouts from the No need to be be embarrassed. Think about every book you have ever read. Doesn't the book jacket have a photo of the author and some biographical information about the author? That's what the Book of Me Scrapbook Layouts Challenge is all about. Whether it's just a page here and there or an entire album, you really aren't finished until you have done a page on "YOU"! We have 3 Book of Me Scrapbook Layout ideas for each month of the year - that totals 36 separate ideas. There is a full list at the bottom of the page to quickly access each month. You might even learn some interesting things about your self when you sit down and reflect on what you like, who you are, how you came to do what you do, and maybe even where you want to go. Here again, you can just do it one page at a time - with one idea at a time. You can filter these layout idea pages into your chronological scrapbook - or you can actually do an entire book-of-me. Let’s try just one page a month. That’s how I did it: In 2007 an acquaintance through a chat room posted some monthly challenges to our web site. We were all members of a monthly scrapbooking kit club called Club Scrap (at clubscrap.com) and each month she would move us in the direction of thinking about ourselves. And as Lisa O. said, “it is a great record to leave for your children and grandchildren.” Lisa arranged her challenges into monthly ones, but each monthly challenge had three options in the topic to pick from. With Lisa’s permission, I have posted her suggestions and added a few comments of my own along the way in regards to some photos you can take to help to document yourself. Do the first one, and I promise it will get easier. Shortly I hope to post a few of the results from that challenge so you can see some of the wonderful art work that was created from this collection of suggestions. So here is a list of 12 months of challenges with a total of 36 layout ideas for you to work on your "Book of Me Scrapbook Layouts" as the keeper of the family diary. I would suggest starting with the first one and then pick back up a new challenge topic every month. Go to Book of Me Scrapbook Layouts - January Challenge -
