Hello!

A fun layout to share with you today!  The story behind this, was that Sharlene and Denise (it was more Sharlene really) were begging me to play the CSI Case File #74.  I was not that "keen" all simply because of the colours, evidence and the testimony requirements.  Of course, I had both girlfriends in my mind {smiling.... picturing them looking at me asking me, "Have you started this project...?"} (I am giggling while I am typing this now)  I DO LOVE the blue colour in the picture!!! But it was not part of the scheme (I was disappointed!!)

Because of the colours, I just do not THINK I have them!!!!  Friday night, I decided to go through my box of "some coordinated papers" that I organized and keep....  Most of them are WAITING for the right pictures or right theme to go with them.  (Some papers/kits I have to admit I don't know why I bought them...also are sitting in this box... guess my "taste" changed over time)

I FOUND Nikki Sivils "Beatrice" coordinating papers.  The colours seemed to be PERFECT but the theme was WAY OFF!!!!   Again I have Sharlene and Denise in my mind, I decided to be more "patience" (giggling)  I studied the papers and tried to figure, especially looking at the both sides of the pages.  I felt that the papers were DOABLE avoiding the "BEAVER" theme......  This paper set was one of the papers that I do not know why I bought but I think it was the cute beaver that convinced me (??)

VOILA, here is my layout!  Really I made two layouts! But in here I will just share one layout and I will share the other layout in a different post sometimes this week.

 

 

 

This is Shelby's sketch that I used.

 

For Little Red Wagon, the challenge was to use metal, I added cute bright pink and green "ribbon-ed" paper clips (aren't they pretty?) and one pink paper clip on.  They all worked well on this layout.

 

 

For CSI Case File #74, I used all of the colours (as required) for the SCHEME.  For the EVIDENCE, I had flowers, ruffle, metal, leaves, and tulle.  For the TESTIMONY, add ruffle or lace to the journal spot.  At the above picture, you can see that there is a ruffle.  I made a ruffle using some washi tape.  COOL!!!!

OH OH! DID YOU SEE THE BLUE ON THIS LAYOUT!!!!  Charada's shirt and part of mom's blanket  YAY! YAY!  It happened on its own!  I did not add it on!
