102 - CSI Challenge - Resilience

This week's challenge includes a fun sketch from the talented Em Stafrace.  The colours are bright and fun and I used some photos of DGS, who has a bright and fun  personality.
I know this is a busy time of the year, but with the sketch, you could whip a page up in no time at all! Why not pop over to CSI and see what the DT have created

I went to the 4th of December writing prompt and chose,  “If I could give any gift to any person, what would it be?”

When these happy photos were taken you had just arrived as Buzz Lightyear at your little cousin’s party.   You approached guests with a “Gidday mate” and the thumbs up sign, ready to rock and roll.  You tackle everything head on, absolutely fearless and often have the scars and bruises to prove it.

If I could give any gift to you, it would be that you always retain your exuberance for life, your ability to get up and try again, the tenacity to persevere until you succeed; the gift of resilience.  Love Granny August 2013

  7. I was sure I visited this post and commented, but don't see it... anyway, I came by again to look at this page, and it is so beautiful! I love the little birdie embellies, they're so cute. Like I wrote on CSI, the black background makes the adorable photos and the pp just pop up, great effect.
    Your GS is such a cutie :) and it looks as if he has a great chracter too. A very meaningful and beatiful wish you have for him, and I hope it will come true.
