August 29, 2024August 6, 2015 by Cassel

When you create layouts traditionally, you are mostly limited by the size of the printed photos you have on hand. It is quite unusual for a paper scrapper to have a photo that will cover all or most of their 12x12 layout, but if you are a digital scrapbooker, you have that option as many digital photos are now quite large, or if that is not the case, you can always enlarge them (but that will require some extra steps). Why or when would you want to use a very large photo on your layout? Let's have a look at a few such reasons.

Things change over time, and what was common 30 or 50 years ago, is no longer considered safe. I never encountered accidents or serious incidents involving things that changed since then. I assume that people have changed their opinions based on some of those. One example was how babies were left to sleep without a crib.

My grandfather was a mechanics by trade, but he was also a tech guy of his times. He had a movie camera and he would love to do stop animation. Yes, I saw one of his movies he made when I turned 1, meaning, more than half a century ago!

Remember when…? – Playing Cards

Although i have not been much of a card player, my parents and uncles and aunts seemed to love that. Since i was raised with only one little brother (8 years younger than me), i guess we never had enough people to play cards at home. But, my aunts and uncles were more than just card players: they loved to have FUN.

I am not a particularly big eater, although i do have a sweet tooth. When i was a kid, was of average size so food was never an issue for me (except that i have always been picky).

I was not a particularly accident-prone child when I was young, but I still encountered a few accidents, as most youngsters. In grade 2, I was the victim of a really freak incident.

Some kids would eat anything while onn the other hand, some kids will not eat what we want them to eat. I know that, as i have kids that fall in those two categories. Personally, i was a picky eating kid, and i grew up as a picky eater too. Oh well!

When I was in Secondary 2 (or grade 8), I went to a new school. That school had a band. I had never participated in a band before. Since several students had been there for a few years already, I became a flag bearer instead of in the musical player. At least, that was not too hard, right?

Things have obviously changed over time, and one of those things is everyone's job description. Now, because of unions and job descriptions, I know that I can't hammer a nail to hang anything in my office. Instead, I have to ask the maintenance staff; it is THEIR job, not mine. But 40-50 years ago, that didn't seem to be a problem, and the students, would do the janitor's job!

I have a sweet tooth, I admit. I always had it. Although my Mom was never super interested in cooking, she had a few of my favorite dishes, especially in the dessert category.
