Hello everyone and welcome to my challenge this month which is all about the passage of time.

I want you to scrap a page that shows the passage of time with two photos, a then and a now.

You might decide to scrap a person; maybe a child growing up, maybe even yourself.
You could do as I did and scrap a cherished pet.
You could scrap a place that has changed over time, maybe a home renovation, maybe a landmark or a piece of countryside and how it has changed.

Your page should clearly show that things have changed over time. I know something remain the same, but this page is about change over time.
Your page must include two photos, a then and now, and I would also like you to include a tag on the page somewhere, a word strip and some florals (flowers, leaves, both)

This is my page about one of my boys.

Just over three years ago we picked up, after a 9 hour drive, our two little Bengal kittens. One of them, Indy, was the scrawniest little fur baby, half the size of his litter mate brother, and he has grown into a beautiful boy, albeit still smaller than his brother but utterly gorgeous. My page shows Indy on the day we brought him home and a photo taken on his third birthday last year.

I used Fur, Fina and Feathers (Cattitude) page kit by Heartstrings Scrap Art

So the rules for this specific challenge ...

Create a layout showing the passage of time
Use two photos - a then and now
use at least one tag, at least one word strip and some florals.

Our 2024 Challenge Rules have changed just a little. Please read:
  1. Layouts must be created with 75% current PBP Designers’ Products. You may use product from any of our active designers. Check designer challenges to see if they offer additional prizes for using their designs exclusively.)
  2. You may use retired product if it was retired from PBP in the last three months. The retired product can only account for the 25% “non-current” PBP Designs.
  3. Upload your layouts to the PBP Gallery (be sure to select PBP Team Challenges as one of the additional categories that you add your layout to.
  4. Link your layout in this thread to your gallery layout
Make a post in this month’s tracking thread for all of your challenges.
Add the gallery link for your layout from this challenge to your tracking post. (Please do not add images to the tracking thread.) That way we’ll be able to easily see who has earned the monthly prize....and speaking of that!

Thank you for the Then and Now Challenge – here is my take – everything is a mixture – Lakeside – A Pretty Glimpse – JBS – Nest My Heart is your Home – Serenity Captured - HSA – Photos – mine – Fonts – PT Mono – Agency – Myriad Pro – Journaling - Your wild and silly days, the Mini Cooper S, you did tell me the specs, yes well and of course it only ran on aviation fuel, I remember you said on your long trips you had to carry the fuel with you. I wasn’t on the scene then, not that I would have been allowed. My Dad would have said “Not with my Daughter you don’t”, and of course backed-up by my older brother, not with my kid sister. By the time I came along as your Dad was so pleased to say, you had matured by then. I am sure you gave your Dad nightmares. I had to laugh when you would go mad at the young ones today, I would love to say, hey what do you think you were. Your reply with that ever so cheeky grin of yours, “Oh that was different”. Just in what way I would reply, things were different back then said you, I bet your Dad didn’t think so.

Oh this is so precious and a perfect take on the challenge - what a lovely story to record (we are just at 38 years wed, but we have been best friends for 50 years next year

Combined pieces from 3 designers to make this page. The required tag has the required word strip "stapled" to it. Two of the people in these photos don't look like they have changed much in the last almost 9 years. On the other hand, two of them have obviously changed! :)
