I was kind of at a loss. I decided to use a vintage photo that I've had for a few years. It is very wide. It covered both right and left side pages, plus I cut off quite a bit on each side. I originally wanted to fold the ends in and make flaps, but it was stiff and brittle from age, and I just cut off the excess. It had also been stored rolled for probably several decades before I got it, and it was very stubborn to try to flatten and glue down.
The ironic thing about this photo and the journal prompt is that most of the people in the photo are not smiling. Some are, but the majority are not. They are not Saying Cheese at all.
I took a young lad from part of the photo that was cut off, enlarged him and made him smile, even though he was not smiling in the original. I added other vintage papers and postage, and glued down cheesecloth. I think I'm done!
