Play - Remember this

Today I'm sharing a layout for CSI design team.  
I hope you will use the link 
CSI - color stories inspiration
to pop over and see the wonderful examples created by the rest of the team.

I struggled a bit with this colour palette until I found 
an old paper with the pink tones on it.  
I used a sketch from PURPLE PUMPKIN which I really love.
The photo is not the best quality, but it was a happy day so it made the cut.
The green paper is from by Paper loft - Granny’s House, Tatting/Tea time
The brown, floral paper is also Paper Loft - Back Country, “Mountain meadow”
The orange is from Echo Park - “Borders”
The wooden title and stars are from Studio Calico
The wooden ruler is by Prima 
The border punch is by Martha Gardner - embossed zigzag
I also used the tags from the back of the Echo Park
The cute little monkey is from Kaisercraft - Hello Sunshine collectables

EVIDENCE
Animal accent
Wood
Border punch
Dry embossing (on orange paper)
Three of something (the titles)

TESTIMONY
I used the inspiration words, Giggle and Enjoy as part of the journalling which is on the back of the page.

I found this quote recently and it reminded me to treat children as unique individuals, each with their own gifts and talents.   Not that there is any danger of you and your twin being lumped together in a “one size fits all” approach, because you just would not respond to that.  You are different is almost every way.  Occasionally you come to blows, if your brother has something you’d like and vice versa.   I am surprised at how readily you share, once you’ve had a won the battle.  You are such lucky boys to have Parents that make you giggle, who enjoy playing with you, and are happy to take you to playgroup to meet your little friends.  Journalling   9 Feb ’14    Love Granny

  7. This page is stunning Helen! Really love the design and little accents! Such a great quote and I really love it! You are so right....children are definitely individuals and each develop and grow at their own pace...sometimes I need to be reminded of that too...so thanks for that!
