Keep Calm - DT for CSI challenge 127

Thanks for calling in today, I hope you will take time
 to check out what the rest of the DT have created for this challenge.
CSI LINK
The deep red and teal seemed to say Boy's page to me
and luckily I had some recent photos
of our oldest Grandchild
 Would you like to play along?
Just use all five colours
At least two things from the evidence prompt 
and one thing from the testimony prompt.
There is a sketch for you to use this week from the
super talented Em Stafrace
Here's what I came up with.  This all came together very quickly for me,
maybe I'm getting a bit more decisive as I grow older!
I rotated the sketch 90 degrees to the right.
I started with
Core Impressions - Cosmo Cricket, “Neutrals collection” (Teal background)
then added Carta Bella - Rough and tumble, “Journalling cards”
and Little Yellow Bicycle - Winterings (grey photo mat)
Webster’s - Recorded Picturesque (anchor tags)
Craft Queen - Washi tape
Studio Calico - camera
Prima Sugar dots - Delight
Pink Paislee - Photo tab
Freckled Fawn - Arrows
Prima brads - Delight
Plasterer's tape
EVIDENCE
Camera
String
Birds
Wood
Transportation images

TESTIMONY
I went off at a tangent with the journalling and didn’t actually use a prompt.  Whoops!  Sorry about that.   I guess if I was to draw a very obscure connection it would be to link the journalling to the retro prompt when I described how things were when I was a child.  

Now that you are a big school boy, I don’t have the same opportunities to capture random, every day photos of you playing.

Luckily, in the school holidays you came for the day and a sleepover.  With Pa’s help we had a photo shoot.

Although a bit shy at first, you soon started “acting the goat” and I love these photos.
