Scrap the Boys & Bird is the Word Challenge

I've been wanting to scrap these photos for a few weeks now & when Bird is the Word http://birdisthewordchallenge.blogspot.com.au/ set their current challenge as the word "Story". I figured that it was a word I could associate with these photos.  Also this month I thought I would have a go at a challenge over at Scrap the Boys, http://scraptheboys.blogspot.com.au/ which is a sketch challenge this month. And seeing as I have so much trouble creating masculine pages, I thought it would help me along a little bit. Here is the sketch from Scrap the Boys:

And here is my entry along with some closies. I wanted to do a fair bit of journalling on this but didn't want to share it with all & sundry as it is quite personal, so I've made a booklet with more pics & my journalling underneath it. This is the first time I've really made a serious attempt at hidden journalling & I'm quite pleased at how easy it was to put this together.



 I placed a quote on the first page & then the journalling on the last page along with another photo.


Thanks for dropping by :)

    Your layout is so cool. I love how you devised a way to hide the journaling. Very clever! Think I might have to lift that idea from you. Thanks!
