January 2019 Layout

Since I am a chronological scrapper and tend to scrap almost all my photos, yet don't want my end of year scrapbooks to be too thick, I have started scrapping all my miscellaneous photos from a particular month together on one layout rather than scrapping a bunch of single photos. It's kind of fun as it gives a feel for various happenings throughout the month. For January 2019, I added labels with the date and event under each photo rather than making a long list in one place. The layout design is based on a sketch I created in 2019 but have only used once, so since The Outlawz Anything But a Card was challenging us to re-create a project you had previously done, I thought this would be a good sketch to use. Here's the link to my previous layout, where I pretty much did the sketch as is, whereas for today's layout, I flipped the sketch horizontally, added an extra photo, and extended the bottom border piece across both pages. It was fun to re-visit this sketch, so thanks for the challenge inspiration!
