& Baby makes three - CSI Challenge 125

Hello, thanks for clicking on my blog today - welcome.

I have a CSI Design Team layout to share with you.

I absolutely love these colours and I had this sweet photo to work with, 

so it all came together quite quickly.  I was inspired by the ampersand.

 

Here's how I cracked the case,

why not pop over to

CSI 

and have a look at the examples by the Design Team.

I hope you will be inspired to play.
The idea is to use all of the colours,
At least two of the evidence prompts
And at least one of the testimony prompts.
It's not as hard as it sounds, I promise!

 Here's how I cracked the case.

The grey background paper is from Simple Stories and the teal is a very old Bo Bunny range. The lime green is from WR Memory keepers and the pale blue is from Kaisercraft.

 The wooden flower is by Kaisercraft

and the tiny envelope is by Studio Calico

 The butterfly flair is from Studio fourteen 40 and the ampersand

was cut from the reverse side of the grey paper

the alphas are from Lily Bee Designs

EVIDENCE - is tucked in the small envelope
Flowers
Clock
Scallops

TESTIMONY
I used the inspiration word “time” and the journalling is tucked in the little envelope.

There was a time, before Grandchildren, when I wondered what all the fuss was about.  Friends of ours, who had them, seemed to turn into mush overnight.  Yes, babies were sweet, but I remembered the sleepless nights and the tantrums too.  Then you came along with your big eyes and your even bigger smile and I fell in love again in a heart beat. A wave of joy swept over me as I greeted you; son of my son and  another generation of the family. Here you are at 6 months having learned so many things in half a year. I don’t think you will understand how precious you are, until you have Grandchildren of your own.  Love Granny 25 May 2014
