A Special Investigator..............


For the month of May I feel very honoured to have been invited to be a "Special Investigator" at CSI. This is the first of 4 pages I will do for this fantastic, fun challenge site.

For my EVIDENCE I have used: flowers, leaves, oversized flowers and bling.
For my TESTIMONY I have journaled about the growth of someone; my youngest daughter and have added a flower to my journaling spot.

Beautiful Manor House Creations flower, misted to blend in with the orange/apricot colour scheme.

I had to include this lovely Prima Vintage Trinket

Some fussy-cut flowers from the gorgeous Glitz design papers, Laced with Grace.

Thanks so much for dropping by today, have a great week, happy creating and save a smile for a stranger. xx

    Oh WOW Gayle this layout....It's beautiful. Your daughter is beautiful and I love your journaling too! Splendid job!! Yup Fiskars is THE cutter to own. My old lightweight one is SO lovely, even minus all the numbers/measurements now, that I just can't bear to part with it. Have a good weekend :)
