XOXO - Clique Kits - November KIt - Swan Lake

Hi There Friends,

Today is my 2nd layout using

Clique Kits - November Kit - Swan Lake.

This layout features my youngest boy - Lucas.

I wanted to show how versatile this kit is by creating

boys layout.

Here are some close-ups:

I used the XOXO from the Ephemera pack

and cut it in half to use as my title.

I journaled in white pen to make it pop.

This little man still walks into school holding my hand.

I used the Fancy Pants Designs corrugated paper

to matte my photo.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Case File 218 - I Have A Little Shadow........

Hi There,

It's time for another CSI: Color Stories Inspiration

Case File.

This is Case File 218.  And I love this palette to bits!

I was inspired by the journaling part of this Case File.

I went with a Prompt Idea: from Carry on Tuesday.

I found Prompt #149 "I Have A Little Shadow....."

I have used all the colors in the palette.

My Evidence:  Dots, Cards, Metal and Circles.

My Testimony:  Prompt Idea from Carry on Tuesday.

Here are some close-ups:

I used Faber Castell Whipped Spackle on the Dusty Attic

chipboard circles with my fingers to give them a rough texture.

The background paper had embossed words on it.

All I did was give it a sand.

It is a core'dinations Sand Cardstock.

Lots of funky embellishments including

those metal circles from Studio Calico,

and the yellow hearts from Illustrated Faith.

Here is what the Case File looks like:
