Book of Me Series III

Hi everyone,

The third series of the very popular Book of Me classes are about to start up again. We have had a great response to these Book of Me classes with a wonderful group of ladies coming along and creating some fantastic pages and it's not too late to join in.

This series takes us through the following topics:

Week One - Your favourite season - your seasonality
Week Two - 8 days a week - a snapshot into a week in your life
Week Three - Quotable! - an exploration into how words effect your life
Week Four - A blast from the past - a place to record those special memories
Week Five - Treasured possessions - a page dedicated to a possession or items that are of sentimental value
Week Six - Up till now - let's record your journey up till now

Here is my sample for Week one - your favourite season which of course for me is Summer. I have completed a multi-photo layout highlighting various photos that I have loved from summers' past, using some basic grey paper and complementary bright cardstock. I have thoroughly enjoyed creating such a warm and inviting page when it has been so COLD outside at the moment.

Cheers
Michelle
