Story Play | Yesterday + Today Project Idea 02

Welcome back to another project idea using the Yesterday + Today Mini Kit.
Today I'm pairing a full page photo of myself as a kid on the beach with a photo of my standing at my work table looking down at all the fun projects in process.
As I was starting to work on this project I knew I wanted to incorporate some of the chipboard tags from the kit which led me to dive into my chipboard stash and find all the same shapes from previous kits. It was fun to go through the various tags and find ones that could be used to celebrate this piece of my story. Having my chipboard organized by shape totally helps when you want to make this style of page with a bunch of repeated elements.
Let's dive in to the process video:
And here are additional images of my project:

For this project I printed two full page photos 7 inches x 8.25 inches. Each photo enlargement was added to a page attacher to be added into my album.

Arranging and organizing all the tags was a fun process. In order to make the tags fit I did need to cut the "this life" tag and remove a bit of the chipboard. I ended up taking the two remaining pieces and running them through my sewing machine. I repeated that on two other tags so it looks like it was intentional from the beginning.
I added mini brads to each chipboard tag and stamped "Who I Am" from the stamp set before jotting down a couple thoughts about who I am right now. I also added my initial using an A from our Alphas Are Awesome #39.

To link the two pages together I found some fun, graphic puffy flowers in my stash from a previous collection.

I love that layout of you with all the chipboard tags! What a super great idea Ali! I have so many from so many years of subbing and I could do this for each of my grandchildren for their albums - so much fun! And journal on some too. Thanks for the great inspiration!
