The talented owner and designer of CSI, Debbi Tehrani, has recently combined with Scrap 365, a beautiful English Magazine to create some challenges. I was thrilled to be invited to submit a layout for publication in the Dec/Jan issue.
Why not pop over and have a look at the inspirational examples from the design team

Although the pictures seem to suggest Christmas, the soft pinks and cream reminded me of photos of my DGD, so I decided to make a little girl page. Many of the evidence prompts worked well with a pretty page and the inspiration words “sparkle and soft” were the catalyst for my journalling. I love the combination of colours, because I would not necessarily put grey with the lighter colours, but I think it provides a good foil for the pink and cream.
EVIDENCE
Ribbons, pearls, beads, needlework, vertical strips, feathers, texture paste, silver accents, flowers
TESTIMONY
I used the words sparkle and soft in my journalling which reads:-
No matter what life brings, my wish for you is that you retain your sparkle and the joy you find in everday life. You sing softly to yourself, "It's a happy day", while playing, this is a little tune you invented. We see things trhough fresh eyes when you are around and we delight in your small discoveries. Go well little girl, we love you. 6th July 2013
Thanks for calling in, I hope you have enjoyed your visit and come again.
