Home Sweet Home - CSI Case # 38

Here is my layout solving CSI case # 38. The photo is of my mother when she was about 4 years old (1938/9). In the back garden of her childhood home in Hampden Avenue Beckenham. She is here together with her Mum and Dad.

I used a variety of papers all from My Mind's Eye, but different collections I have acquired over the years.

Miss Caroline grey woodgrain paper ? name

Lost and Found - Portobello Road 'Party' Looking Glass paper (newsprint mat and looking glass with bird).
