Scrap That Technology!
Brook gives us some great inspiration for scrapping about the technology we use everyday
Most of us live our daily lives immersed in some kind of technology. Our smartphones, computers, tablets, and other devices are commonly used as a way to interact and connect with others. It’s a big part of how we stay in touch and communicate with friends and family throughout the day. We share some of our biggest life events and news on Facebook, email photos to the grandparents, and meet up for conversation with friends on our favorite message boards. Some of our best laughs might have happened while browsing Pinterest or chatting. And, the comments people have left on photos we’ve shared are something we might not want to forget. So, why not take a picture, screen capture it, or copy it and make this technology a bigger part of your memory keeping?
If you’ve never thought of including screen shots or photos of the way technology plays into your life, why not try it? This page below was the first time I attempted to show how we shared a beautiful moment at the lake with my husband, who was still sitting at his desk . . . working late. This layout has become one of my favorites. It’s kind of sad my husband wasn’t there with us, but it really speaks to our lives at the time. This is how it was. And, someday I’ll look back on that photo of our text messages and be in awe that we actually communicated that way. We got to “talk” and share a picture of the beautiful sky at that very moment. It’s awesome compared to how this moment would have played out 10 years ago. Life changes so fast. Who knows what the future will hold? Why not give future generations a glimpse at how we do things right now?
Here are more fantastic examples of how technology can be a great addition to your scrapbook pages:
Have you ever done a layout with technology/communication as the subject or included a bit of it on your page? Like a photo or screenshot of text convos, FB updates, chats, etc.? Or even just used a text message or FB status as the journaling or title of your page? Please feel free to link us up to your pages in the comments here or add them to our discussion on the forums: How Do You Scrap Technology?.
Happy scrapping!
