Mikelle Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Limbo Challenge! How low can you go? Or more accurately, how far can you narrow down the time? Below, I'm going to give you a specific date. See what photos you can find that were taken as close as possible to that date. If that limbo bar is too low to get under, then raise it to the month mark - see if you can find photos that were taken during that month, and if not the month, then raise the bar to that year. Make sense? Eventually you'll get under that limbo bar! If you're too young for the date I chose (congratulations, lol), or if you'd rather do this challenge a little differently, Google the date and find something to scrap about - your page could be about something that happened that day/month/year, or about someone like a celebrity who was born then, or about the #1 song on the Billboard Top Hits that day, etc. I'm using a random date generator to pick our date... here it is: June 12th, 1994 Good luck, and let me know if you have questions! When your layout is complete upload it to the Weekend Wildcard Challenge Gallery, then come back to this thread to leave a link to your page so that we can all admire it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelle Posted October 15, 2022 Author Share Posted October 15, 2022 I couldn't find any photos that were taken exactly on June 12th, 1994, but very close - I graduated from college on June 11th, 1994. I just did one layout of my college graduation several weeks ago, so here is a second one with a few different photos: June 11, 1994: College Graduation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariJ Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 What a great and creative challenge, Mikelle! I wish I had time to scrap it, I'm furiously trying to finish up Bingo pages for the month! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 You do know that we did not have cellphones with cameras in those days? 😆 I don't have any photos that far back. I'll have so see what I can come up with. This one is going to have me scratching my head a bit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-M Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 @Mikelle Sadly I would have had photos from around that time but not digital ones so they all got destroyed in our flooded home. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsoarty Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Woah! I’ll really have to dig deep for this one great challenge, 1994? That was before digi photos…. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celestine Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Here is Grandmothers' Arms. This was an intriguing challenge, Mikelle. I had to go back to my photo albums since this predated anything I had digitally. On the page marked May/June 1994, I found these three photos of my nephew with his grandmother and great-grandmothers. All three of these ladies have been gone for more than 10 years now, so it was very bittersweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsoarty Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Best I could do is the year. Since I immigrated here in feb 1996, all my photos were left behind, and destroyed by my ex (now deceased) husband. HERE is my layout 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatlady Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Here is my page. June 12 is our anniversary so this was easy for me. '94 was our 23 year and we loved to go to this German Restaurant because it reminded us of our years living there. Great challenge Mikelle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsoarty Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Just thought I’d look what were the headline news on that date…. On June 12, 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were slashed to death outside her Los Angeles home. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-M Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 I was just looking for some other photos and found one I had scanned of my daughter and my mother dated 1994. So I might be able to take part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that happening, of course, but not the timeframe. And really, it was the day after my college graduation? I do not remember that.

Mikelle Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 LOL, it sounds like this WAS a bit of a challenge. Next time I try a random date challenge, I will only go so far back as digital photos (maybe 2001 or so?) for the date range in the random date generator. For the most part, I have scanned in all of the paper photos from pre-digital that I can find - except a few albums my dad recently gave to me. I need to get on those. @alsoarty, @A-M I'm sorry about your lost photos.😔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrannyNKy Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 When I got divorced in 1997, I made traditional scrapbooks for my three sons with most of my actual photos. So for the Weekend Wildcard Oct 15th Challenge, scrapping about the date of June 12th, 1994, and when I saw that was the day Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman were murdered, I created: June 12th, 1994 -pg1 and June 12th, 1994-pg2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember sitting watching the chase on TV of OJ. What a joke, and then he got away with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyscrapalot Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I'm not sure how close I got to the date, which is shortly before my youngest was born in 1995. So before I went to work I did a quick search through some photos of my oldest but I think I may be off some. Anyway here's mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane in N.Z Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 What a fun challenge. Here is mine. I know we went to Fiji in April 1994 but these were the only photos I could find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
