Home from the Sea ...........

 

As soon as I saw the colours for this week's CSI Challenge I knew the photograph I wanted to scrap!  The colours just cried out vintage and a sepia photo.

The little girl in the photograph is my mother-in-law, Mollie, and this is a rare family photograph, as her father spent many months at sea away from the family home.  The sea was in their blood as my mother-in-law was a Wren in the Royal Navy and her older brother was a steward on large liners.  Sadly the little boy in the sailor suit died at a young age during a routine operation.

 

In addition to using the colours of the scheme I have also used:

• silver metal
• vintage text
• textured paper
• and the word HOME.

I am really enjoying making these paper flowers using Donna Salazar's Spellbinders die Bitty Blossoms.

 

They are becoming quite addictive!

 

There are some jaw droppingly wonderful layouts by the CSI Design Team - all amazingly different!  Click the link HERE to have a look.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking and have a lovely weekend!
