My husband and I just returned from a fun and refreshing road trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico. We had planned a trip to Ireland, but Mother was "under the weather". Thankfully, she is doing fine now, but we cancelled our trip to the "Emerald Isle". As soon as we knew that she was back to her normal activities and not needing assistance, we decided to return to Santa Fe for a one week getaway before all the hubbub of Christmas hits us, and we had a ball!<br /><br />Case File 266 at <a href="http://csichallenge.blogspot.com/2018/11/case-file-no-266-deadline-november-30.html" target="_blank">Color Stories Inspiratio</a>n inspired me with its colors and the architecture in Santa Fe seemed perfect inspiration as well. Always enjoying a challenge and this one hit the spot!</span></td></tr>

I love to tell the story about the photo, but prefer to not have the journaling written on the front of the layout. In virtually all of my work, I create a pocket on the back of the layout using a library pocket or an envelope. In either case I cut areas off of the top so it can be glued close to the top and back of the layout and the journaling card can be almost completely hidden with only the top seen peeking out from behind the LO, begging the viewer to pull it out, hold it and read it. I have always loved interactive scrapbooking! </span></td></tr>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Hello scrapbooking friends! I'm so excited to share this layout that I created for the <a href="http://csichallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">CSI</a> Design Team with you. One reason for my joy is the story behind the scrapbook page. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">As most of you know, I am a retired elementary teacher. One of the greatest joys of teaching is witnessing the positive outcome of a former student. In this case, my husband and I were able to spend a little time with my student Robert, his wife and baby daughter. What a beautiful family they are and I enjoy being kept in the loop through social media! </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Here, we were able to reconnect in real life! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: white;">The last and most fun step in the art portion of my scrapbooking is adding the Prima Art Stones and Mini Art Stones, beads and Blue Fern Studios Seedlings. To do this, I first use a paintbrush to paint on Prima's 3D Matte Gel in the areas I want the above products to appear. Quickly, I put the beads, etc. on the same area and let it dry. </span></span><br />

<span class="m_-4639435122618062873s1"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">"To the best of my recollection, our neighbors lived in their home since the late eighties. The husband passed away in the mid nineties, leaving his widow alone in their home. Their two grown daughters rarely came to visit her throughout the years. Approximately two and a half years ago, we noticed that the older daughter had made an appearance. Her mother was dying. </span></span></div>

<span class="m_-4639435122618062873s1"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">Shortly after this, my husband and I began noticing people driving to the back of the house, then leaving within five to ten minutes. This quickly increased in number of instances and we became very concerned that there was drug dealing happening there. This occured at all hours of the night and day! The people coming in had cars that were banged up and often had paper plates. The people themselves were shabbily dressed, unlike the hard working good neighbor's who live around us, who get up early and drive to work each day, raise their children, send them to college, and keep their homes neat and tidy. </span></span></div>

<span class="m_-4639435122618062873s1"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">Soon, neighbor's were asking us about the people next door. They too, were concerned and many of them had children. That was enough for me! My husband and I met with the police one night between Christmas and New Year's, this past year. A case was opened and within the first week of 2018, two undercover officers came to interview us.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Here is my journaling: </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">"This is Not the Finale. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Vona Kay was the sweetest little girl. She was a flower girl in our wedding. Hack and I visited the Keeling’s when they lived in Mobile, and we slept in Vona’s room, filled with little girl toys, a doll house and a herd or two of stuffed animals. It was a joy to be transported back into childhood again. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">As time flew by, Vona transformed into a beautiful young lady. She earned her RN degree from Samford in Birmingham, Alabama. We were all so proud of her! Her patients and coworkers loved her for her compassion. Soon, she met and married her sweetheart, Keith Davis. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">When Vona passed away at 51 years of age, her entire family was shocked and grief stricken. God bless you forever, Vona. We will miss you for such a long time, but we will see you again, sweet niece. This is not the finale."</span></td></tr>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Here you can see many of the beautiful embellishments I used on this layout. Isn't the lace gorgeous?!!! I embossed the chipboard and added all of the little tiny seedlings and beads from my stash. The same technique was added to the fabric flowers. As I usually do, I fussy cut the flowers out and popped them up! For the background, I used texture paste, stamping, paint splatters and applied the seedlings and beads. So much creative enjoyment! </span></div>

When Lee and LIZ were older I went back to teaching to start saving money for their college education. We raised our two children to have good Christian values and now have earned their college degrees and support themselves. We are Blessed with two great adult children, and still help them when we can and in whatever way we can.
