“If I were a….” | DIgital Scrapbooking Words on Wednesday

Hello Friends! Chelle’s Aunt Sari here. This week we thought a great idea would be to make a page about yourself (or someone else) around a prompt like: “If you were a TV show, which one would you be?” or “If you were a flavor of ice cream, which one would you be?” Silly questions that get you talking about PERSONALITY…not just EVENTS.
Here’s an idea from SuzyQScraps website. If I were a super hero, my super power would be … the ability to Photoshop my wardrobe. Seriously. I would love the power to …

  • adjust the hue of those *almost* perfect clothes in the store …
  • add some more brightness back to those faded t-shirts …
  • duplicate my favorite pair of jeans (over and over again) …
  • resize those fab pants that are just a tad bit too small …
  • custom tailor those clothes that are a bit big in all the wrong places …
  • clone over those stains …
  • mend the tear in the knee of my jeans …
  • add sleeves to that dress …
  • add a bit of length to that skirt …
  • adjust the hem on those pants that are too long …
  • flip the shirt/pants so that the buttons/zippers are on the other side …
  • and hit CTRL+Z to undo what I just did.
  • And that’s just clothes. If only I had the power of Photoshop in real life …

I found some other ideas as well. This entry came off the web, but I didn’t get the credits. My BAD. I liked this one because it was so descriptive.

  • If I were a butterfly I would light on people’s porches. I would flutter around in the late evening and land on the porch rail. There I would take pause and breathe in the heavy scents of summer. Stretching my wings and watching my cousins, the fireflies, dancing in the night air. I hear the creaking of an old rocking chair. Listening I hear the eldest say, “I don’t know how much more of this heat I can take!” As I turn I notice the sweat beads upon her skin and I am immediately attracted to the salt. I cannot help but flutter down for a taste. Upon lighting on her hand I hear her say, “Edna, look at this pretty little thing!” “Oh Mama how beautiful! Sabrina come and take a look at what your Granny has!” Confused I think I am already here….I look up at my mother’s face startled and she tells me it is time for bed. “Hmmm, just a dream,” I think to myself. Getting up to walk inside something catches my eye and it is a pale blue butterfly.

    • If I were a flower….

    • I wanted to give you a few ideas I thought of. I think the most interesting part, is that you can be as detailed and descriptive as you want, but the more creative or thought-provoking you are, the better the page will be.

  • If I were a child’s toy, I would be …?
  • If I were a a piece of furniture, I would be….?
  • If I were a green vegetable, I would be….?
  • If I were a subject in school, I would be a picture of…..?
  • If I were a jigsaw puzzle, I’d be a ….?
  • If I were a country, I would be….?
  • If I were a restaurant, I would be….?
  • If I were a character on Sesame Street, I would be…..?
  • If I were something that started with the letter A, I would be…..? (or the letter B, or the letter C, you get the idea. You could do an album of what those letter’s mean to you, your child, or dear husband. I bet if you asked them the same question a year from now, they wouldn’t be the same.)

    • Here’s a couple of idea’s from the creative team. First up is Cara. I love the “face” of her boy next to the face of the orange. She really added so much detail with the orange elements. Look how she ties it all together with the writing around the different shapes, and who could do a layout about orange without that “orange” alpha. Wonderful job Cara!

    Then we have Erica with her son… If I were a race car driver….?  It’s a totally different approach to the question.  Yet once again, the LO is striking. The papers, clusters, borders… all combine to make this LO something that Jamison will look back on with pride. It will be interesting to see if he’s still got the racing bug on his 10th birthday. Great Job Erica!

    P. S.  The LO’s in the post were designed from the following products created by Chelle. Can you figure out what part of the LO’s came from which of Chelle’s Kits?
