Chapter Five is titled Open Heart and showcases layouts celebrating our
connections to those we hold dear--whether it be the soulmate you've
chosen to share our life with, a family member who has blessed you with
a lifetime of unconditional love, a cherished friend who just makes
life more fun, or a furry, four-legged companion who fills your heart
and home with joy. This final chapter is packed with inspiring ideas
for truly capturing the family ties and friendships that make you who
you are.
I've had this photo of my good friend Ana Lisa (Ani for short) and me
for quite some time. Since college graduation to be exact. It was a
beautiful spring day and everyone headed over to the lake by Carson
Park to celebrate our mass exodus from academia and grand entrance to
the "real world." (If we only knew what we were all in for!). I met Ani
in the Towers Hall dormatory freshman year when we both worked at the
front desk selling frozen pizza and pop to our rowdy classmates. (Ah,
those were the days!). It has now been six years since graduation and
she is still one of my very best friends. Whether she's offering a kind
word of support, a shoulder to cry on, or a daily does of inspiration,
she's a friend I hope to know until with both little old ladies getting
together on a Sunday afternoon to share stories of our grandkids over
tea.
I created this 8.5 x 11 layout to showcase the photo of that fun day. I
wanted to keep it clean and simple so I used a white cardstock
background framed with ribbon in fresh spring colors. The chipboard
frame made it easy to highlight the photo and simple rub-ons and a
quote summed up the title and journaling.
