CSI Case File No. 47

Season's Greetings to all.

Today I want to share my recent layout for

CSI Case File NO.47.

Here is the case

 

Here is my take

Let's take a look at the journal

The journal reads as

          "This is my granddaughter         

        when she was 6 months old.       

I loved when she came to

visit me. I would cradle

her in my arms, pat on her

little back, and kiss those

marshmellow cheeks. She

would soon wiggle down

from my lap to the floor.

Adrianna would take off

crawling around and even

pull herself up by hanging

onto the couch.She would

try to touch everything in

site.”Don’t touch, no no

I would tell her."

"Adrianna continued on playing

with her toys and following her

daddy. She was a“daddy’s girl.”

I would feed and change her.

Soon it would be naptime and

she would fall asleep in my

arms. Soon it would be time

to leave and I would get her

ready. I know I would miss

Adrianna as always. With the

goodbye hugs I would keep

in mine that she would

soon return for another

fun and loving visit with

my granbabygirl."

Mojo Monday 269 & GrandDiva Creative Corner November Challenges

 Hello scrappers!

Today I want to share to projects.

Now that I am on my

paper crafting mojo

I want to share another

card I just finished for

Mojo Monday 269 challenge.

Here is this week's sketch

Now for my take:

I was in the holiday mood so I decided to create

a seasonal card using lavender, silver, and white.

The idea was to use colors different from the norm.

~~~~~~

Next, I want to share my layout I created

for 

Granddiva November Sketch Challenge.

Here is the sketch

Awesome sketch created by Rochelle Spears.

My take

I had fun creating this LO. I used pictures of my granddaughter

taken during her last visit with me.

She decided to have fun blowing bubbles.

I like the pics because I caught the bubbles.

That's it for today. I hope you enjoyed the inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by and 

"keep on scrapping!"

CSI Case File No. 45~Cherish

Sunday Blessings to you.

Today I want to share my

CSI Case File No. 45.

Let's see how I solved this case.

 

I came across this old sketch to use.

Here's my take:

I used a vintage and shabby chic style.

This picture is of my mom and her twin sister

when they were babies 

in 1924.

Here are close views of the journaling.

This is the journaling taken out of the scroll.

The journal reads as:

A Story of

Twin Sisters!

________________

 This story begins in a

city called Pittsburgh

Pennsylvania in the year

Of 1924. On a crisp and cool

Autumn day, October 24^th, 2

Twin sisters Mary and Martha

were born to Corrine and

James Johnson.Corrine

birthed Martha first and

then came Mary. My mom

told me Mary was slow

coming because she was

sleep and sucking her

thumb. As a child I

also sucked my thumb.

as the story goes Mary

and Martha were named

according to the Bible.

They were beautiful and

chubby dolls of the family.

Grandpa Johnson was so

proud of the twins he

decided one day he would

have their picture taken.

So it was so that twins

picture was taken while

sitting on top of a horse.

Grandpa Johnson held on to

his girls without being

seen. Without a smile or

cry the perfect picture was

taken and soon given to

Corrine and James. Today

the picture was Passed

down to me as a picture

of family heritage which

you now see. Thus the

story of the twin sisters

lives on in a photograph

of this and many more.

Although my mom was the

first of the twins to

pass on to heaven, love,

beauty, and heritage

continues to live on in

my heart and mind with

precious memories.

Love always.

Hi there everyone.

CSI Case File NO. 44

and how I solved this case.

 

My take:

I enjoyed working with these colors.

This is my granddaughter when she was

7 months old. 

Close Up Views:

Journals:

I used 2 journals this time. The journal

reads as:

~~~~

This is my granddaughter when

she was 7 months old. Adrianna

is a chubby, cutie pie with a

smile that will turn tears into

laughter and joy. She has bright

peek-a-boo eyes and soft

marshmellow cheeks.Adrianna is a

“Daddy’s girl.” Always crawling

around to be close to her daddy.

She could turn my cloudy days into

sunny days. Each time my little

cupcake visited me, my pain

would go away and I would be

filled with such joy and hours

of laughter. While holding her

I would often feel like she was

the baby girl I never had. Thank

God for my little angel; my

granddaughter Adrianna.
