A Wonderful Life

Hello scrappy friends! I'm wishing everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous 2018! Now that the tree is down and all of the decorations are back where they belong, I can get back to doing what I love to do....scrapbooking. This is a piece I have done for the CSI Design Team

Here is how I solved the case: 

Scene: All five colors used

Evidence: clocks, doily, animals

Testimony: I chose to use the word, "wonder"

Fussy cutting, beads, embossing on the background and on the chipboard.....it's all about texture and dimension for me! 

You can see all the layering I included in this layout.

The journaling reads, "My Husband and I truly do have a "Wonderful Life". We were college sweethearts and married a week after my graduation. I taught school for six years until we had Lee, and then became a stay at home mom, welcoming Elizabeth a few years later. We struggled for years on one salary and took our obligations seriously. Hack went on to earn his Master's degree so we could have a better life. 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. Hack and I are happy being together, whether it is enjoying our favorite movie for the tenth time, or putting away Christmas ornaments. We have found that it is the struggle and joys of everyday life that make life wonderful.

Thanks for stopping by! See you next time!
