89 CSI Challenge XO

I absolutely loved the beautiful colours this week which were just right for these photos of the twins.   I used a mixture of older Making Memories and Kaisercraft papers and new Carta Bella.

Why not pop over to CSI and have a look at the examples created by the design team.

 This little one is so adventurous he is often bruised and scabby
It doesn't slow him down though


 Love these enamel dots and flairs from Scrap Friends

TESTIMONY
I chose to use the fantastic, fun, art words as inspiration for my journalling

The journalling is on the back of the page and it reads

These photos were taken back in January around the time of your second birthday.  You stayed with us for the weekend while you parents flew interstate for a family wedding. After breakfast there was no time to get dressed before you dashed outside to play.   You unleashed your inner artists by using the black board and some coloured chalk.  Once the board was full of scribble, you attacked each other with the chalk.  Bare skin makes the best canvas!  Then, suitably decorated with wode like true Scotsmen, you cavorted on the garden seat, jumped onto the play table and tried to climb into the laundry window. What a fantastic fun game you created with just a stick of chalk.   You discoverd by clicking two sticks of chalk together, that a fine dust collects on the bricks.  Activate this with a bit of spit and Voila, you have finger paint. I love to watch you interact and learn from each other; you truly are the best of friends.  Love Granny photos Jan 1013
