CSI #103 ~ Creating your own traditions & Wishing everyone a Happy NEW YEAR

First of all I would love to wish everyone all things good in 2014, may it be a good year for us all

I wanted to do the CSI #103 challenge, but did not make the deadline, but never mind something I wanted to record got done , so that is the main thing.
Evidence ~ Stars, Circles, Distressing, Ribbon,
Testimony ~ I have use the word Joy
2013 you had the Joy of creating your own Traditions


On the tags tucked in the photo I have written~
You love Christmas Chels and all our family traditions that we have created over the years. 2103 saw you creating your own traditions. When you sent me the photo's of your first Christmas Tree it made me happy. My heart is happy that you are so happy in all areas of your life. I couldn't resist getting you the Baubles with your names on them that light up. I mean to say there was a Chelsea and a Lucas, so I had to buy them right ? Love Mum


The No Peeking tag seemed appropriate as apparently she 
was ! Red cobweb ribbon from Craftqueen

The 2Crafty chipboard frame is from Craftqueen, as is the little beads and satin seam binding. I rubbed gesso over the frame and then added a bit of gold kindy glitz here and there 
Thanks so much for looking. You still have until the 5th to join in at Orange Paperie and the new challenge will be posted at ColorMeScrappy tomorrow
This next layout I did awhile ago, but I don't think I ever posted it.

Christmas morning it is Chels job to make the nibbles plate and she does a very good job.


Green vine ribbon, Cobweb ribbon and tiny twine from Craftqueen, Gold Netting ribbon from Marally Craft


Well that's me for the year HeHeHe 
I will be back tomorrow or the next day with the New Challenge for ColorMeScrappy
Happy New Year !
Love and Peace

Mary these are both gorgeous pages. I love the one for CSI. I wanted to do the same thing with my family but finding all our names was difficult. I did find some plain ceramic baubles and will make my own for next year but it didn't happen for this year. It does make your heart happy to see you kids off and creating their own traditions. Sad too sometimes.
I wish you everything of the best for 2014 and thank you so much for all of your support in 2013. Lots of love xx
