* TELL A STORY WITHOUT PHOTOS *

Happy day after Valentine's Day! ;) Today's challenge is to tell a story without photos. Unfortunately, many of us have too few photos of our lost loved ones. That doesn't mean, though, that we can't still tell their stories. To help with inspiration, here are our takes on this particular challenge. 

First, though, please welcome another of our new contributors, Sherry Cartwright! Sherry's been a guest here before and we're delighted to have her aboard full time. Please see her information over on the left, okay? And, now, here are the layouts...

We'll start with Sherry:

Marti:

Lisa:

Jen:

Me (Amanda) (as it appeared in Creating Keepsakes, May 2008):

Tania: 

I love 'em all! :) We hope you'll join us in this challenge and would love to see your take. Please link us to your layout in the comments of this post. (Even if you don't do a layout, btw, we'd love to hear any thoughts or stories you'd like to share! We love comments!) Thanks!

Don't forget to check back for the stories behind these layouts in the coming days...

Hello! I really like this challenge. It was fun to create a layout with so many meanings in it but yet no pictures. And it was nice to have an outlet for my feelings. We just passed the 1st year mark of my DFIL's passing.

here's my layout: http://piedragonarts.blogspot.com/2010/02/good-grief-layout-3.html
