Alice ( Ann B. Davis) appeared in every episode of The Brady Bunch. She was the witty, wise, happy, much-loved housekeeper for the Brady family. Her backstory for her character is that she had a twin sister who wanted to become a doctor but could not afford school so Alice went to work as a housekeeper for the Bradys in order to put her sister through medical school. This backstory was very similar to Ann's own life. She had an identical twin sister and Ann, herself, was pre-med at the U of MI until halfway through college she changed her major to Speech & Drama.

Today's challenge is to take some of the elements of Ann's character as Alice and create your LO. The colors for this LO are a must. You must use Blue for her uniform, White for her apron plus Orange and Green for the Brady kitchen which she spent so much time in. In addition, you must pick two (2) of the following items to showcase our beloved Alice.
----Her apron had a trim around the sides and bottom ( I used the white scallop edge for this)
----She had 6 buttons on her uniform and 6 children to care for ( I used 6 pictures)
----She was an identical twin (I mirrored my paper layering)
----She showed lots of love (I used hearts)
----She had a bright smile (I used the sunshine)
----She was always picking up after the family ( I scattered dots around the LO)
----She took care of 2 adults ( I did a double page)
----Her sense of humor always kept things fun (I used the word fun)
----She often pointed the way to go (I used arrows)

You can use any items to showcase what you have chosen and do not have to do a 2 pager. Please tell us what you chose for your LO.

Great challenge as always, Patti! And fantastic two pager!

Love your 2 pager! Really fun challenge!

Patti: wow what great double pager. LOVE it all and your challenge

Again--scanner problem. I assure you that what looks pink is orange. I used 2 adults picture, hearts, and 6 gems.

Super fun challenge and love your page!
