Part Of My Journey a LO for Lasting Memories Challenge

Good Morning to you :) I hope that the weekend has been well for you. I have been catching up on the videos for an online class I'm taking at Craft With May: Vacation 2015. The class shows various ways to approach a Vacation Album, since my Steamtown Album is on my list to finish up this month I thought catching up with the class was the perfect inspiration to get me back into the project. This week should be a good week to get that goal accomplished. But, today is for this week's newest challenge over at Lasting Memories: The Journey. This is what I did with a little bit of help from LOAD to get this part of my like down on paper:

This layout came about from the LOAD prompt: Broadway Show:
Have you ever felt like your life was On Stage?
Every life is full of many stories; if your life was “Live on Broadway”, what would the show be titled?
So I went looking about at the plays on Broadway and come across this one: How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying So that became the title of my layout. The play does depict part of my own Journey in Life, so with that said this is the inspirational quote to use for this week's challenge over at Lasting Memories:



What a wonderful quote to work with and there is so many ways to got with it, check out what the other designers have done over at Lasting Memories
There were times in my business that my husband was struggling to understand what I was doing with my life, with my business. That's fine because it was my journey to make sense of, there are times when I don't understand his journey too :)

 A close up of the pictures: One when I started (I was mobile back then) and the other was one that was taken close to finishing up my business (I was the in-house embroiderer for a local screen-printing business). I also included a printout of my logo in the layout. We decided to close my business this year when problems arise with the machinery, with the people I was working for and my husband to be able to retire if he wanted to. Boy talking about getting gray over a 10 year period! Things can change very quickly over a decade.

 My journaling came from and article that my company was featured in and thought it made a nice addition to the layout

 I used last month's counterfeit kit and some scraps too. Stickers from Simple Stories 24/7 line and candy dots from Stampin Up.

I used 3 different Alphas for the Title. look forward to bring more stories on my time in business, lots of fun stories from on the road and some not so fun. As we clean out 2 trucks for a huge yardsale in August, I know I'll be coming across many things from my business ventures and can see them going into the many smashbooks that are waiting for such stories!
We look forward to seeing where your Journey will take you this month......
