GET IT SCRAPPED
The focus of Be Real is making scrapbook pages from your everyday life and events photos that have meaning. Each lesson begins with a line from one of Jane Austen’s novels or personal letters–and this is because she is a writer who knew how to make a record of (imagined) life with humor and meaning. Her techniques and observations are a goldmine for memory keepers and memoirists today.
Specifically, these lessons show you have to make scrapbook pages that:
1. Take your everyday life and event photos beyond the obvious.
2. Tell truths that matter.
Be Real includes:
6 lessons in pdf form (filling 70 pages) with layout examples and detailed how-tos for adding meaning via journaling and design.
Topics covered:
1) Discovering Meaning
2) Revealing Character
3) Getting Perspective
4) Avoiding Sentimentality
5) Telling Stories
6) Expressing the Inexpressible
