It's no secret that I love to scrap. Generally, I scrap events and pictures within the last few years. I have lots of pictures and time keeps moving forward so I don't ever run out of things to scrap. LOL! Which means that I don't usually go into my old boxes (and boxes) of photos from way back when. (Though I probably need to but that's another post for another day.)
So at Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge the 1st challenge is to scrap about high school, or a high school reunion. Click here for the challenge. With having a son, holidays, everyday life, my husband-I just hadn't even thought about scrapping about high school or anything as me as a kid. The photos aren't as plentiful as they are now-and don't get me started on quality! As I looked through the photos from high school wow-35mm just isn't 5, 10 or 12 megapixels is it? :)
But the more I thought about this challenge, the more I wanted to do it. We have to scrap about ourselves (which I do-just present me-not past tense me).
So enough of my talking! Here is my page. Scroll on down, and I will tell you more!
This is me in the 11th grade. I had a bunch of band pictures, but not of me. That year I was the historian for the band, which meant I took pictures of everybody but not that many of me were taken. So I was quite happy that I found this one. Although I'm not smiling :( and this scowl probably was plastered to my face a lot-yay for teenage angst ;)
Here's my journaling square. I did love this outfit. I bought it at a store called Maurice's at the mall. In marching band I played bells this year.
1993 was the year. Written next to it is that this photo was "probably Sept or October page done 10.26.2012 by katy) I do sign my pages-usually on the back though. I had to have roasted in that sweater. Hopefully there was a cool breeze! ;)

What a great layout hun. You've got the colours just right to make the picture pop, and it has a real 'weatherworn' look about the whole thing which works superbly. Hugs, Buttons x
