{not certain my dd (now 21) would really like this layout but its all part of life!!!}

Journaling reads: My poor little girl, I look at this photo and can't help but laugh. Such a horrible face you made - so very comical. Daddy is looking at you, not quite knowing what is going on??? I have to admit, typically, you were a really good child - seldom did you ever lose your tempter, but I do remember a few here or there where you just went off the deep end. In this instance, we were at the Wild Animal Park to see their Dinosaur Exhibit, and I guess you just got a bit over-tired.

I do have to say, when you reach your limit, you really reach your limit, and this was one of those times. What a face you made. Maybe it was all the photos I was taking, but you turned into a MONSTER CHILD for a bit, and then, things were fine again. You always needed some time to center, and reset yourself, and the Wild Animal Park did not give you this opportunity, as it was a long, full day, Daddy and I lived through it, and after a moment, all was right with the world again but I have to say, I am glad I have this photo to remember this moment so comical now!!!

The Process: I began with an Artsy Paper from ArtPlay Wild Paperie. I placed the fotoblendz, and then attached the photo to it. I enlarged the photo and placed it in the upper right, putting it on blend mode Vivid Light, and reduced its opacity. I added the WordART, and then added the journaling. I encircled my dds face with the LoopDaLoop, placing the smiley face and the word strip at the end, recoloring both. I added the various lines of words, playing around with different fonts until I liked them. I added the edge overlay and the Black Dripped Stains.
