THE WHITE HOUSE

Hello! 

 

I started this layout on Wednesday I think.... but I worked on it more on Thursday. The first challenge was to cut the title as the negative cut on the background cardstock. I did that first. I cut the WHITE HOUSE.  I had to practise first to decide the location of the start point for the blade for my Cricut machine.  When I was finished, I was HAPPY.... but then I realized that I forgot the word THE!!!!   SIGH!!!!  So I decided to go for the cut out letters and pasted them onto the layout!  Yeah I cheated here but only for the "THE" word.... For Jayne's sketch #17, I struggled a bit with it as I started off with no patterned paper.  But on Friday when I saw the new challenge for CSI case file #81, I loved the colours so I decided to go for  the Authentique Seasons: Summer patterned papers!    YAH!  It solved my struggle!  This morning, I worked on my layout happily!

 

 

 

 

 

 

For CSI Case File #81, for the colours, I used all of the colours.  For the evidence, I used silver metal (buttons), twine, circles (there are lots as you can see I am sure!), textured paper, and scalloped edges.  For the testimony, for the IW, I used the word "house"  just a perfect timing....what a coincidence, a layout about our visit to The White House!!  (No journal otherwise....)
