*IT'S NOT A REAL MUG SHOT - PROMISE*

Today's page was mostly inspired by my desire to get this exceptionally large photo off of my desk.  The photo is from a stage makeup class where my professor took photos of our "neutral" faces so that we could use tracing paper to plan out makeup designs for the class.  While I found this photo very helpful at the time I can't help but think it is also what I would look like should I ever decide to take a more nefarious path in life.


I got to use more buttons from the stash I purchased at an estate sale last year as well as these arrow paperclips I'd been holding on to.  It's a super simple page since the photo really is huge.  I really like how it turned out and I'm glad it's now in an album hidden from my everyday line of sight.

Identifiable Elements:

  • Arrow paper clips - Freckled Fawn

Wrap It Up #6

Yet another high school page that I never got around to finishing.  This was the first page I've tried to fix that I actually didn't like what I tried to do originally.  I mostly didn't like how the color scheme seemingly had nothing to do with the subject of the photos or the photos themselves.



I ended up adding in some blue striped paper mostly to make it feel more like EIU and to match the colors in the photos better.  I and removed the flower buttons because they felt so out of place no matter how I much I tried to spruce up the page.  I covered up the marks they left with the bling that I thought was more appropriate for the page.

I'm surprised I was able to salvage this page as much as I was.  I usually have pretty good instincts in designing pages but clearly not always.
