Hello Scrappy friends, welcome to my blog.

Sorry I've been MIA a bit lately.

For health and family reasons, I've decided to step down from CSI.  I know I will miss it, but hope to find time to play along.  I’m so grateful to Debbi for giving me the opportunity to be part of such a talented and inspiring team. 

EVIDENCE
Space elements, Metal, Circles, Stars, Stripes, Something transparent, Swirls, Label, Ink, Die cuts. - I almost used all the Evidence prompts,

TESTIMONY

I chose to write about something funny.

When you were almost 12 months old, one of your favourite toys was your rocket tent.  You were not able to walk, but were able to pull yourselves up, so the holes in the rocket ship were perfect to hang on to and just wonderful to play peek-a-boo.  You spent hours crawling in, peeking out, bobbing down and disappearing.  After a while you learnt how to lean on the sides of the rocket and tip it over.  As you tumbled over together, arms and legs intertwined, your squealing and giggles made us all laugh.

Hello Scrappy friends.  

Today I’m sharing a page for CSI challenge 160.

There is a bonus sketch from Em Stafrace.

To see what the DT and guest designers have created

for your inspiration.

Do you like using a monochromatic palette?

Then grab your forensic kits and lets get sleuthing.

The photos were taken in January in Phuket

at our youngest Son's wedding.

I followed the sketch almost exactly, 

but it's fine to rotate, or flip it, if it fits your photos better.

EVIDENCE

Travel elements - the venue and the stamp

Textured paper - the tag

Frame - the small photo

Metal -the heart

TESTIMOMY

I chose to journal about a trip; travelling to another country and also the start of a journey as Husband and Wife. 

I used the words by Kahlil Gibran on marriage on the background and wrote a personal message on the tag.

Love one another, but make not a bond of love:

Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.

Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf

Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,

Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. 

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.

For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.

And stand together yet not too near together:

For the pillars of the temple stand apart,

And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.
