Strong like a teabag? ~CSI #54

CSI case #54:

This time with a sketch!
At first I didn't know what to do with the testimony, but I choose for the quote:

“A woman is like a tea bag-

 you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water.”

 ~  Eleanor Roosevelt

EVIDENCE (CHOOSE AT LEAST 2 ELEMENTS)

• punched circles
• polka dots
• text pattern
• music pattern
• mixed media background

 

TESTIMONY (CHOOSE AT LEAST 2 ELEMENT)

• Handwrite your journaling
• Use this quote as inspiration: “A woman is like a tea bag- you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water.” ~  Eleanor Roosevelt

 

Journaling (hidden in the filefolder behind the picture):
Strong? I often do not feel that strong. In this past year, where saying goodbeye stood central , I have shed so many tears. Tears of grief and loss, from losing your basic and being completely lost.Tears start flowing at the most unexpected moments. That does not feel as being strong .... 
But, as I look at myself with some more distance, I do see a lot of power. Strength to get up every day, to go back to work every time, for completing all matters regarding the estate.
For me it feels like just going on, because I just can't do otherwise? 
Strength also comes from the way they have raised me. Of course I want them to be proud of me! And yes, I think they are proud, if they look down on me from their own star.

Fun in the snow

 

Cor, een broer van mijn vader, is zo lief geweest om alle dia's van mijn ouders in te scannen. Het is zo waardevol om al die foto's te hebben.

Dank je wel Cor!

Tussen die dia's zat ook deze foto van mijzelf op de sneeuw. Een winter lang geleden.

Toen ik de challenge op Hobbyworld.se zag, om een project te maken dat glittert met een winters thema,  wist ik dan ook meteen dat ik deze foto wilde gebruiken.

** Cor, a borther of my dad, was so sweet to scan all the slides my parents made. It's of so much value to have those pictures.

Thanks Cor!

Between the slides was a pic of me in the snow. Some winter long time ago.

When I saw the challenge at Hobbyworld.se to make a project that sparkles and glimmers with a winter theme, I immediatly know I wanted to use this pic.

De achtergrond heb ik bewerkt met distressinkt en gestempeld met een embossingmal. 

 ** For the background I worked with distress ink and I stamped with an embossingmal.

De sneeuwvlokken zijn bestrooid met glitter, net zoals de bloem en de vlinder.

** The snowflakes are sprinkled with glitter, just like the flower and the butterfly.

Log your memories

Eind 2011 heb ik meegewerkt aan het logbook van Log your memories.
In de loop van 2012, nadat de layout op de blog geshowd was, mochten we die zelf ook laten zien. Maar ja... het is een raar jaar geweest...
Dus hier alsnog de layouts:

Love, Miranda

Another CSI challenge:

 

Evidence: 

* flowers

* metal (under neath the purple flower)

* scallops

* fabric

Testimony:
* Be inspired by this site: Daydreaming on Paper: The first thing I thought when I opened my eyes this
   morning was....
* Add scallops to your journaling spot

Journaling:
The first thing I thought when I opened my eyes was: It's mom's birthday and she isn't here anymore!
It feels so unreal that we lost the both of you in 2012. Yesterday it was dad's date of death.
On your grave we've put purple roses. For always in our heart!

Love, Miranda
