Some scrapbook pages tell a story with words, while others tell it through memories and meaning.
This layout was created to remember October 17, 2017, the day Canada lost one of its greatest musical voices, Gord Downie of The Tragically Hip. My hidden journaling simply records that date—a quiet reminder of a day that many Canadians will never forget.
The black-and-white photo of us wearing our Forever HIP hoodies keeps the focus on the message, while the bright daisy background symbolizes hope, remembrance, and the joy that music continues to bring. Even though Gord is gone, his songs and the memories they created live on in the hearts of so many.
For my husband and me, this page isn't just about a photograph—it's about remembering where we were, what we felt, and celebrating the incredible legacy Gord Downie left behind. Scrapbooking gives me a way to preserve not only life's happy moments but also the milestones that shape our lives and our country, Canada.
