June 2018 Book Lover's Challenge - UPDATED WITH WINNER!
The winner this month, as chosen by random.org, is #6 - joannie!! Congratulations, and thanks to all who entered!

Struggling for ideas this month, I asked my 7-year-old daughter for suggestions about which book I should do for the challenge. She has recently begun making her way through the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney, so that was her immediate response and I decided to go with it. The series follows Greg Heffley on his daily struggles with his siblings and to fit in at school, and is written in a diary format, with cartoon-esque drawings interspersed on every page. There are currently 12 books in the series, with number 13 scheduled for release this October.

OPTION 1: Diary of You as a Kid
For the first option, scrap a page of yourself as a kid, and be sure to include journaling!

OPTION 2: Diary of a Kid
For the second option, have a kid do the journaling for your page. It’s always fun and eye-opening to see events from a child’s perspective, so hand over the pen and let a child do your journaling for you.

This month, you'll get a BONUS ENTRY if you use the cover of the books as a sketch. Each cover has the same layout, with a large title on the top, photo underneath, and the occasional word strip and/or circular element overlaying the photo. **Please note, while you can submit more than one layout for this challenge, you can only earn one bonus for the month. Thank you!**

Sample for Option 2 - my daughter wrote the journaling

We have all these books for the grandkids to read. Sad that most of them aren't interested in reading actual books. I have 1 granddaughter and 1 grandson that love to read. Great challenge!

Re: June 2018 Book Lover's Challenge
I haven't been involved here for a while, but I decided to get back into it. All of my boys' monthly pages sound the same, so I asked my youngest to do the journaling on this one. He refused to hand write it, and I do digital anyway. His words are within the circle. I hope to convince him to write on others.

My daughter did the journaling in the top corner.  I did a pocket page to finish up her baptism pictures.

Re: June 2018 Book Lover's Challenge
Here I am as a kid, on the cover of a book called 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid:  The Ugly Truth'!!  This was harder than I thought it would be.  But I like how it turned out.  I picked option 1 (me as a kid) and the bonus use of the cover of one of the books.

I am running away from my responsibilities,
and it feels good!
