My daughter worked very hard on her ecosystem report about the rain forest when she was in third grade, but I only had one photo of her with the report, so I decided to print it as a 5" x 7" and give it a layout all of its own. The design is based on a layout by Lisa, one of my fellow design team members from Lasting Memories. Beside the photo, I think my favorite element on the layout is the chimp (gorilla? orangutan?) that I fussy cut from a piece of patterned paper; he looks so quizzical, like he is wondering why he's on this layout!
I added a few close-up shots of my layout, including the journaling on the tag hidden behind the photo.
