Awarded "Most Wanted" at C.S. I


A C.S.I Suspect called to let me know that "Grandma Dolly's Teapot" was one of the five selected for "Most Wanted". Woot! I'm dancing in circles. I'm just tickled that it won as I so enjoyed working on it and going down memory lane once again to remember Grandma Dolly.
We were awestruck by Joyce's beautiful layout! There is great beauty in her exquisite details--the teapot serving as a frame for the photo of Grandma Dolly's teapot, the little teacups hanging from a shelf, the lovely clusters of flowers, the misted doilies, the lovely addition of pearls to the scalloped frames. But even more exquisite is the detail in her wonderful story---the essence of the memory written on the front but the delightful details continued in a pocket on the back of her page. We love that Joyce included the three different pictures to help tell the complete story. Joyce did a marvelous job with the colors, carefully chose elements to further convey her story, and documented an important story. This layout is truly what CSI is all about!
Thank you C.S.I. and Suspects for their continued inspiring pages.
