CSI - Case File No.75

I decided to enter the case challenge again this week at CSI because it included a colour scheme that I am not very confident with - pastels. The dreamy, romantic look is one I greatly admire, but not one that I am able to create so well. So this was a great challenge for me to get me out of my comfort zone.

The case file:


My layout:








My journaling slips into the glassine bag I used as a layer that has a blue tab attached to the journaling page to pull out easier.
The journaling reads:
You asked me for a jar to go collecting.
A little while later you returned and handed it to me, a flower and some bugs inside, and said,
"This is for you, Mummy because you're pretty like a flower and I love you."
My sweet boy. You are so thoughtful and charming.
I love you too, never-ending.

(The never-ending part is something we say to each other that he started).

From the file I used:
Scheme - all the colours
Evidence - lace, chevrons, flowers, distressing, jewels (rhinestones), ruffles, heart, gold and banner title.
Testimony - IW word: me, add jewels to your journaling (I added rhinestones to my journaling page).

Thanks for looking.

  5. This is a stunning layout! I saw it at CSI and was mesmerized!! I love your work & would love to subscribe to you by email but it's not an option in your sidebar. I'd also love to be able to scroll back through your blog a bit more easily. I have mine set to 7 posts to show on the main page & don't have any complaints about slow loading. That way if anyone's missed anything in the last week or two it's easy for them to catch up!!
