You may recall that the purpose of this challenge group is to take our scrapbooking to the next level, to stretch our creative process and to grow as artists by embracing challenges that make us think, work and grow. You can view all of the challenges on my blog by clicking HERE or check our our new Inspiration Elevator Blog, here.
This month's challenge is issued by the super talented, Sue Sykes. Here's what she had to say in her very own words:
"I have all of my parents' photos stored at my place. Shortly after I began scrapbooking, my mom and I spent hours removing her photos from those dreadful magnetic albums and documenting dates on the back of them all. So I will often sift through them and marvel at how much things change - and yet, they also seem to stay the same.
This month, I'd like to challenge you all to create a comparison layout or project - THEN and NOW. It can be any topic; just document the parallels and differences between an event/person/place from the past and a modern likeness. REMEMBER TO JOURNAL!! :)
Can't wait to see what you all create!"
For my comparison layout, I had several things come to mind, but I guess my biggest change or comparison was the way I scrapbook now from when I started 16 years ago. So I chose to do a layout on that.

I recently bought and have been playing with modeling paste and decided to use that along with a mask on my layout:

My journaling reads: "The scrapbooking world has changed so much since I started scrapping in 1997! I went from the basics- diecuts, cardstock and deco edged scissors to beautiful patterned papers, inks, paints, mists and so much more in the last 16 years of this wonderful hobby!
I hope you will stop by and see what our designers on this adventure have created:

Great design! I love the smudges of colour and the bi-focal point arrays of photos. It really helps delineate between the two periods. Great structure and design.
