Case No. 185 - Dreaming of Paris

Hi There Friends,

Seriously, who doesn't dream of Paris?

Well I do.

I love the history, the architecture, the art and the food.

I had the opportunity to scrapbook this love

using the CSI: Color Stories Inspiration

Case File 185.

My favourite colors are featured in this case file.

Here are some close-ups:

This photo of the Eiffel Tower was a wallpaper, screen saver.

I thought it was perfect for the Case File.

I used a funky Artistcellar Stencil - 

by Tamara Laporte (Willowing).

Here is the Case File:

How amazing is that sketch from Page Drafts!!

My Evidence is:

* Architectural Accents - Eiffel Tower Wood Veneers 

& Stencil Background.

*Pom-Pom Trim - Black Pom-Pom Ribbon under photo.

*Sprinkle Something - I sprinkled glitter at the top of the layout.

*Asterisk/Starburst Shape - Asterisk in my journaling as dot points.

My Testimony is:

I wrote my story in the form of a wish list.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Case File 182 - I Can't Hear You!

Hi There Lovelies,

Today I will be sharing with you this layout I made

using the Case File 182 from

CSI: Color Stories Inpsiration.

This is my niece Madelyn.  She is gorgeous.

I asked if I could take a photo of her and she put her hands over

her ears and said "I Can't Hear You!!"

I loved this challenge and these are colors that I would

not usually use on a layout.

That is the best thing about the CSI color palettes.

It really has you thinking outside the box.

Here are some close-ups:

I used a stencil and texture paste to make a large polka dot pattern.

My Evidence is:

Large Polka Dots

Book Pages

Scallop Border

Wet Medium

White Background

My Testimony is:

using the word sweet as inspiration for my journaling.

Here is what the challenge looks like:

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Case File 181 - My Boys

Hi There,

So excited to show you my first layout as a 

CSI Detective.

I just love the colors in this Case File.

I had to create a layout with my little men.

Here are some close ups:

I have used the Light Craft color with the Cogs.

Black in the background, title and cogs.

Brick Red in the background, cogs, paper and string.

Turquoise on the frame, title, background and cogs.

Ivory has been used around the title and in the paper rulers.

My Evidence is:  Kraft Background, Frames, Stamps, Gears/Cogs

and string.

My Testimony is in the Presentation:  I have handwritten the journaling directly onto the background.

With this case file I got to use the amazing sketch created by 

The Nifty Pixel.

I flipped the sketch and used the photos to the left.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
