Fact: 5 Year Olds Ask the Most Interesting Questions...

This layout was started months ago when Method Playground had a challenge up for making a page with a resist technique. I used a white crayon and water colors to create the centerpiece of page 1, then it kind of laid around my scrap room until I got the MME Bloom & Grow papers for this month. This layout is not my usual style, but I like the way it turned out. I (gasp) tore paper - although I must admit I did not do it free hand - I used a tearing ruler, which gave me enough control that I didn't freak out. Then I made up for all that tearing by using plenty of crisp straight edges, too. I also used a label maker for the first time - I see more of that in my future - it kind of reminds me of the strip journaling that I have been admiring in Loretta's layouts. The Bazzill Edge die cuts were lots of fun to work with - a quick way to add a funky element. I really like the PINK Heidi Swapp letters and the way they contrast with the orange paper - HIGH VOLTAGE!
I think the contrasts on this layout are what makes me happy - or maybe it is just looking at my daughter's little red boots and thinking about her curious nature that turns up the corners of my smile...
