Smile....

Hi there Scrapbooking Friends.
Today I want to show you a L.O. that has been inspired from many blogs and challenge sites.
I took this photo on my daughters' 2nd wedding anniversary, and knew I needed to scrap it. I told her to smile for me again,next to the same flowers, 2 years later...
The colours and many of the elements are inspired by the clever CSI Team....here is a photo of some of my old stash that I pulled this morning!! Papers are over 2 years old as are the brads and alphas...spot the old envelope...

Here is my L.O.

I used the sketch on Get Creative by Melenia. Here are some details of the ladybugs,...we call little insects Gogos in South Africa, the G sounding like the "ah" in Ahmed!

The ladybirds are paper pieced, glossy accented and crackle accented!

CSI wanted us to use some Gogos sorry insects in our evidence, as well as stitching and paint spots...I also journaled in  a spiraly fashion saying that I hope my Grand-Son who is going to be brought up in Greece will still know what a Gogo is and that he will grow up to respect nature.

This L.O. will be submitted to Use it Tuesday thanks guys, I used my brads, alphas and 2 sheets of old paper. I also used my re-cycled envelope for a photo mat, so that should make Scrap for Help happy, And because my family is all smiles the ladies at Bird Is the Word will be happy too.
Here is that L.O. that I made of Faye 2 years ago.

She is wearing a Greek Worrior helmut, that her cousin who was here for the wedding had bought that morning from the tourist area Monastiraki....very apt.
Enjoy the rest of your day.
Zeffy.
