A Colorful Character, 1 of 3

The subject of this layout is my 21-year-old daughter; people constantly comment on her vivacious personality. She is a right-foot amputee due to a birth defect, and instead of being bitter about her foot, she has grown into an extrodinarily happy and well-adjusted young woman. I am so proud of her!

I wanted this layout to be very simple so the graphic and colorful photo would "pop", but I also wanted to include journaling and other photos as well. My solution was to create a "squash" book which is hidden behind the main photo. It slides into a slot under the photo, and has a little "handle" that I made from BasicGrey undressed chipboard. The handle is
painted black so that it blends into the background.

Sponsor Products used:

BasicGrey Undressed Chipboard
Bazzill Cardstock - black, red, yellow, blue, and green
Scrapworks - red Hugz, which I filled with glitter
QuicKutz - Eliza and Sonja fonts, cut from Bazzill cardstock and covered with dimensional adhesive
KI Memories Colorful Funky Stripe patterned paper
KI Memories Colorful Word Whispers patterned paper
KI Memories Colorful ribbon sashes

Other Products:

Making Memories red eyelets
Prima small flowers
3M laminating sheets (on squash book cover)
transparency sheet (for journaling)

Journaling:
Lauren, you are such a colorful character!
At times, you can be RED with rightous indignation.
Sometimes, you are GREEN with jealousy.
Occasionally, you are sad and BLUE...
But mostly, you are YELLOW - sunny, lively, and just plain silly!!
