Can you imagine how happy and excited I was to receive an email back in January from the lovely
Debbi Tehrani asking me to be Guest Designer in March at
CSI!!!! Now I LOVE a good colour challenge but what I love more is inspiration pictures and prompts that go with it. Nothing better than having a good challenge to push you out of your comfort zone. If you haven't played along before now, you should. I haven't had a chance to up until now as I have been unwell on and off since January plus a myriad of other things, so I am looking forward to playing along more in the future.
This weeks Case File No. 9 is fantastic...one of my favourites.
My Mum, My Hero...... Still going through photos of my mum's cancer journey. This particular photo means a lot to me. During her gruelling treatment it wasn't the cancer or the chemo that made her so so low (although that didn't help) but it was 'golden staph' the size an orange in her groin, that made her so sick I can still remember so clearly how many times she nearly didn't make it. In this photo, Dad had taken her outside for a moment of fresh air, after days in Intensive Care.

Look forward to seeing your layout in the gallery.
Have a wonderful day :)
