can everyone PLEASE ensure that you read all the rules for this challenge
so that you can claim your challenge points. Thank you!

Welcome to a new challenge here at OScraps.
My name is Bright Eyes aka Kay and I will be your hostess.

I have chosen a YEAR - 2000 - that we will use it as the focus of our Layouts.
Your Layout can be about something meaningful or personal that happened in your life;
or a historical event; or a movie, music, or TV show from that year.
The year 2000 must be large and used as the title
No templates allowed for the challenge.

I chose the year 2000 as it was the turn of the century...
We are now living in the 21st century!
I choose to make my layout about a personal event in my life.

My Layout


I used Day after Day by Laitha Art Studio

Thanks for the challenge. 2000 was the year the International Space Station got started, so I picked those images. It was a really tough time for us, as my "long Covid" started all the way back then. I designed dies and rubber stamps, and did a lot of paper art, handmade books, and created 3-D objects and art, so I stayed as busy as I could.

What a HOOT!! Love the photo from way back when. Great memory of the Disney World trip with the family. Yes, fanny packs were the way to go for that type of trip..(I wore them, too.) Real alpha for the 2000. Thanks for joining the challenge.

Robynne, you managed to condense you 2000 story so well. I love the Large M with the 3 words... and wow that font is fabulous. Congratulations on still being together since 2000! So glad you joined the challenge and shared your story with us.

What a fun trip back in time - love seeing the pre-digital photos from your trip to Memphis. Like the gray and brown colors with the touch of blue along with the brush accents. Great journaling. Thanks for joining the challenge.

The very start of 2000 was problematic with many people fearing the consequences of a computer...
The very start of this year as someone married to a programmer and working with computers myself we were very aware of the issue but not greatly concerned about any serious issues so thanks for the challenge and the reminder!:busy1:

Having many of my family members as computer programmers - I remember the Y2K fears well. Love the masked city photo blended into the fabulous background. Your journaling is fabulous. Thanks for joining the challenge and bringing back that memory.

I only showed a photo of the house we left in 2000. We moved in with our in laws for 2 years until we found another home in our area. We were living in a rural area from 1990 to 2000. When the business I worked at closed, we decided to move the family back to central Jersey. It was the best decision we could have made.

Mary, great journaling about your change in jobs and moving. The background with the overlays and accents give the feeling of living in in a rural area. The beautiful house photo shows there was space for you to move in with your in-laws. Thanks for sharing this with us.
