Goodbye Shirley 2014 digi layout

I was saddened to hear that Shirley Temple passed away. I suppose some people you think will live forever, and age 85 doesn't sound that old by today's standards. She is one of my favourite actresses, and I've seen a good many of her films (on video or DVD), and have favourites like Stowaway, Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, Captain January, The Littlest Rebel, and Bright Eyes.

But I suppose I also admire her because she was able to get past her acting career (in some way) and live a full life; even getting past an early marriage which didn't last very long.

So, I felt I needed to do a scrapbooking page on her to thank her, because although she's 'gone' she will stay with me forever and many more people across the world. I used the Orange Paperie Feb 2014 (add hearts and journaling) challenge and the Color Me Scrappy #56.
