I don’t know what happened to the picture of the map I showed. I added it and it showed up in the preview. Can’t I just add a picture? I am trying again with the upload thing.
My DH and I took three trips in 2016 so am scrapbooking them now with this challenge. To get my maps I went to this site. I like it because you can get mileage or what ever you want…. And it is easy to use.

I then used my Snipping Tool to save the part of the map I wanted to show and turned it into a jpg. Here is one from the short trip we took to an Antique Automobile Show. ( We camp there, sell stuff and my dh BUYS a lot for his antique Model A Ford Truck.)
I also did maps for the other two trips. I have also done the Silhouette Map thing that I will include in my pages. I was going to do all together but have decided to make them separate sections. AND I have a LOT pictures to include. We shall see how long it takes for me to put them all together. AND then have to start thinking about this years travel. We have already done one trip..(two weeks ago)……………

Here is my celebration page…. which is about Christmas. I didn’t use PSP to make my actual page. I have SOOOOO many scrapbooking supplies I am on a mission to use them up. I did the “words” on my Word program. I do use PSP to work with my pictures and graphics. But not on this page. I do appreciate the challenges you are presenting. I have started page one but want to dig out a couple of pictures to use.
Here is what the page says, since I am pretty sure you won’t be able to read it on the actual page……
“Celebrations from my childhood usually involved birthdays or Christmas.
In that vein my strongest memories involve waiting impatiently for Christmas morning to arrive. One time I tried to go to bed really early so it would come sooner but I just lay there for hours. That was not a good idea. I do remember visiting Santa at the department store. And making lists using the Sears- Roebuck Wishbook.
Since we did not live near any of our extended family members, Christmas was just a small family thing. On Christmas Eve we would go to church and when we returned home we were allowed to open one of the wrapped gifts… and Mom usually suggested which one so it would be “something to do” to keep us occupied.
When I grew up and had a family of my own we continued this practice!!
Probably the most momentous Christmas gift I received was on Christmas Eve of 1965….. I opened a gift from my boyfriend …. It was a package of two coffee mugs to symbolize our first date… and nestled down inside the package was an engagement ring. I couldn’t speak for a several minutes and my family wanted to know what was wrong!! LOL. I might add that 51 years later we are still married.”
