QOTD - Now & Then Layouts - 12.20.15

[LeeAndra]

Have you done this type of layout before? Why or why not?

Not necessarily comparing your children to one another (except maybe looks-wise) but more like comparing your children to you, your life to your parents' life, an earlier part of your child's life to a later part, etc.

Like this:



or this:



I feel like this is 'the point' of my scrapping: to tie smaller pieces of everyone's story into one big tapestry, KWIM? Not only do I want my children to know their own stories, but that they are not alone, that others they know & love have walked the same paths, that their stories are theirs but also our family's.

I just sometimes get too lazy to look back through my photos in order to be able to do layouts like these ones.

I always love them when I do get them done, though.

I did this one a long time ago and it's one of my favorite layouts!! I need to do another one!

[jacinda]

I haven't done one in a long time - I really should do a new one. This one was several years ago now.

[Saar]

I have a few. I love doing these type of layouts.

[mariewilcox]

I have these:

It's been a long time since I did a now and then... I'll have to put that on my list to do more...

[cherrygutz]

I do that for my daughter's baby book. I was inspired by Jacinda's layout so I made one which I edit every year so I could include my daughter's latest photo after her birthday and the journal/description. I love the descriptons. It reminds me of what my daighter is or how she at most times think and act. The journals on each photo I got from the internet, I copy from this one:

Oooh, this is a fun thread! I haven't made a true then & now page for a long time. But going through my old gallery brought back some of the joy of telling stories in my pages and I want to be better at that in 2016.

So here are the few I have!











And a different sort - a first & last day of my Couch to 5k training last year!

I've got 2.

I love this one!! It's about 7 years of photos. I'd love to do another one, but it's only been almost 4 years since. I love it though, it's like seeing them grow up all at once!



And this one is like a recreation of a baby photo! Love it, but wish I'd done it when it was nice outside and could do it outside. I'd love to do some more of these, they are so fun!

[pewtertm]

I did this for a challenge. It was fun to do and I should do some more, but I honestly am getting scatterbrained and just don't think of it. I'd totally forgotten about this page until you mentioned it

[icindi]

These are great! I'm going to have to do some!

[aussiegirl]

I did this one from our family's 2 different trips to Disney

[mrsashbaugh]

Love all the inspiration here!

I love those types of layouts. I used to do quite a few back when I paper scrapped. I haven't done as many digitally as I did paper for some reason (and I haven't scrapped paper in 11 years!).

Here is one I did last year...

Awww, they're both big now!

[tjscraps]

I really need to do another one of these, but I do have one in my gallery here! My hubby and I when we got engaged, and then on our 8th wedding anniversary

[joelsgirl]

I love those kind of layouts! Here are a couple I did:
