Love you more

This was a DT project created for a colour challenge at CSI.

The challenge is to use all the colours, at least two of the evidence prompts

 and at least one of the testimony prompts.
I'd love to see you come and play; you have until 26th January to join in.

At first I thought the colours looked a bit girly, 

but I wanted to use this photo of the boys  

and why shouldn't they have pretty colours?

The majority of the papers came from one sheet of American Craft paper,  

Dear Lizzy "This and that"

My favourite stamp from Kaisercraft and the number stencil by Tim Holtz

 The long coral strip is from My Mind's Eye, as is the ombre green strip

The yummy flair came from Scrap Friends - it's by "Hello dreams"

 The admit one ticket was a gift from a scrappy friend

The perfect peach coloured brad was in a RAK parcel from the very generous

Eila Sandberg

Do have a look at her blog, it's chock full of exquisite art

TESTIMONY  These twin brothers, aged 2 years and 10 months are best mates.   Their parents had recently been overseas to London and Paris and Utrecht.  They are used to the idea of family and friends flying all over the world in our global village. 

I chose to use the inspiration words good and bright to kick start my journalling.  The words are on the back and they read:-

Though battered and rickety this vintage tricycle is a firm favourite at Granny and Pa’s home.  Luckily, it has a driver’s seat and a navigator’s step, so there is plenty of room for two.  

“Where shall we go today ?”  

“I think maybe London.”  

“O.K. I can show you the way to London, then you show me the way to Paris.”  

“O.K. good idea.”  “Let’s go, Brmmm....Brmmmm.”   

“Are we at the aiport yet?  Brmmm....Brmmmm.”

“Yep, here’s the airport.” (screeching to a halt next to the orange tree.)

“Bye Granny and Pa, see you next week.” 

“Did you bring your backpack?” (from Mr Organiser?)

“Yep, here is is” (bright eyes brandishes the cloth from the chalkboard)

“Where is your ticket?” (Dotting i’s and crossing t’s)

“Oh dear, I forgot!” (looking sad)

“Don’t worry, here you go” (picks a leaf off the orange tree)

“That’s good, thank you” (perks up again)

“That’s O.K.” (looking happy to help)

“Bye Granny, bye Pa, don’t be sad, we’ll be back soon”

And so they were, with their bright little faces and their fertile minds, they fill our lives with joy and make it good to be alive.  Love Granny
