Beauty and the Beast Mode

Beauty and the Beast Mode makes this my Memory Monday layout of the week!

My daughter Alyssa is an AMAZING girl.  A few weeks ago I featured her in a blog post using the same 3 pictures you see above.  You can read all about her under the blog post:  My Baby Gots Goals

I decided I needed to scrapbook her awesome accomplishment.  I want her to be able to look at these pictures and always remember the importance of having goals.

To jump-start my creativity, I turned to the Close To My Heart Reflections How-to Book for inspiration.  I already knew that I wanted my title to be:  Beauty (Alyssa) and the Beast Mode (CrossFit).  It was just a bonus that the title ended up being a “play on words” of a popular Disney Movie.  😉

I used three different paper packets to create this layout after asking Alyssa to choose her favorite color – Teal.  I translated that into Close To My Heart colors and she narrowed it down from there choosing Lagoon over Juniper.  I needed a little dimension so I added in some Glacier CS.  I still felt that the layout was a little unbalanced, though, so I decided to add in a little bit of Peacock CS.  I quickly fell in love with the harmony of these three colors!  However, my true find was discovering how well the Florence Complements accented this layout.  SCORE!  I literally sat on this layout for several days before the Complements unlocked my creative block and that’s when everything just started taking shape!  Gotta love Chipboard Flowers!
