Have you ever made an ALPHABET album? It is a fun way to showcase photos or stories, but with an added twist.
I have created an alphabet album in the past, where each page had a title (and a topic) starting with one letter of the alphabet. Then, the pages were placed in alphabetical order, even if not in chronological order. So, for 2022, I am suggesting this long-term challenge for you. With one page every 2 weeks, we will be able to finish the year with a complete album. It is up to you to decide if you want to print it or share it otherwise.
I will share my own pages, just for ideas, but I will also give you some more words that will start with the letter of the week. Try to think of one overarching theme to use. It could be about your last vacation, a family gathering, a hobby of yours, a location, etc. Think of something that you have lots of photos of or many words you can associate with.
If you have not started yet and want to jump in, no problem. You know the alphabet so you know what letters you will have to do and you still have many months to catch up on those few pages, so don’t hesitate. There is also no deadline, so if this week’s page is done only next month, it is totally fine too.
So here is my S layout.
Of course, you can use words in your own language too. As you can see, this album was done in French.
Here are some other words that could be used as title/theme:
Safe, Save, Scene, Scenic, Sexy, Shelter, Shine, Skill, Sparkle, Special, Strong, Steady, Star, Start, Sunny, Sweet, Sour, Sad, Salt, Sand, Scared, Scratch, Seal, Speed, Silver, Slant, Slick, Slippery, Sorry, Sculpture, Spooky, Stable, Silly, Storm, Straight, Stand, Super, Sugar, Surprise, Suspicious, Swollen, School, Sea, Sick, Shy, Soldier, Sore, Special, Shark, Ship, Smell, Snake, Soap, Spa, Spaghetti, Steam, Stink, Scoop, Scream, Shave, Sing, Stop and more.
What will your S layout be?
We are getting close to the end. If you have been following all year, good for you. If you find these later and only started recently, don’t worry; the threads will stay here and be available for references.
I’m working a bit up front so this is my letter S, but it is a temporary layout. The staionsquare is still under construction and it will not be completed this year either. Having a train connection has been rather important for the growth of the village and the little station building now has a coffee corner in stead of the ticket window. That function is taken over by a machine. The first station was build in 1854 and there have been periods when it was closed down. In 1965 it was reopened permanently.
S is for “School”. Wapakoneta City Schools to be exact. I attended this school system for 13 years, K through 12th grade. My grandmother taught in this system as did my mother for 29 years. The building that is now the middle school on this layout was the high school when I graduated. The elementary school I attended was demolished in 2010. The junior high school that I attended (which was the high school both of my parents attended) is still standing but now has several apartments in it.
Alpha Book S…South Carolina…my home state! State flag, state flower, Yellow Jasmine, state bird, Carolina Wren. Other 2 photos taken in the Charleston area. Me hugging the Angel Oak…an oak tree over 400 years old. A friend and I at Shem Creek. Annie C template.
