 Awesome Contest! My goal in scrapping this year was to do more in depth journaling. I think I'll give this a try. Thank you!

 I'm working on a poem - this is a GREAT contest!

 cool contest!

 Hm. I've always had this one song I've been wanting to scrap a LO too. This just may bet my butt in gear. Haven't really scrapped much lately.

 Hmmm... I'll have to think on this one...

I just made a page that will be perfect for this contest, but I can´t find the gallery

 Fun contest!

 Yay!  I love journaling!

 What do you do it if you don't know who made the products... I usually have a miss match of products or style of paper that I have no idea who made it...... ?

 Ok, I fee like I'm completely overthinking the journaling requirement. It has to tell a story? Can it be like an essay form or diary entry? I have a LO in mind but I don't know if I'm in the ballpark.

 Here are my page

Hey hon it does not have to be a story per se, but it cannot just be  a sentence or phrase. Does that make any sense???

If you are not sure what something is, you could always start a thread here and maybe some of us can help you???

 Thanks, Sus! That clears it up for me! My idea will work. I've been wanting to do this LO for awhile!

 silly question but are pictures required on the lo

 not a silly question! I had not even thought about it. Hmmmmmm lets see...no rules other than there has to be visible journaling, so if you don't want to place a pic, then don't!  Hope that helps!

You said pictures not required... I scrapped this poem my dd wrote when she was 6 

All patterened paper by Stampin' Up (Washington Apple)
Plain Cardstock by Core'dnation
