Process:
Since this layout was all about the story, I wanted the photos to be big. I turned off the visibility of everything but the frames and paint/mask areas and enlarged these to best showcase my photos. After clipping in the photos, I did the title and the journaling, and added a solid paper for the background. Then I went back and clicked on the visibility of each layer, one by one. There are a lot of beautiful stains and textures that come with the template, and I wound up duplicating these and moving them around to add depth to the layout without overwhelming the page. To augment the textures that come with the template, I also used Taped Textures No. 1 and No. 4. I added the embellishments and Nelson Mandela quote last.
You have an amazing daughter, Laura! Love the the photos that illustrate the story so well! Beautiful!
 
This is beautiful, love the photos and the story! Your daughter is a super young woman!
 
fantastic story and layout, your daughter is amazing. charity often begins at home, so kudos to you both.
 
Yup, Adryane, Eva has remained in touch with several people from the village, and the library is thriving. They're very protective about the books. One family--a mom and four children--wound up leaving Uganda to settle in Vegas, so Eva flew out there to help get them settled.
 
Amazing memory......you have to be bursting with pride for her. God Bless you Eva!!!
