Last scrapper standing contest (or LSS for short)

I again signed up for another contest/challenge. I've needed a creative punch lately and when I stumbled upon this contest I decided to jump on it. This is a weekly scrap-related "dare" that must be completed on Wednesday of each week. This layout is week one's entry. The challenge: Journaling. You must create a layout that has all of your journaling on top of your photo. All of it. And it has to be a decent chunk of story...not just a sentence. We want to see you creatively include a sizable story on your photo (or photos). You may add a title, embellishments and whatever you like to the rest of your page, but all the journaling MUST be on your photo. Hmm, thank goodness for digital pictures!
