Happy Monday blogging friends!
Did you have a great weekend? I had a very busy one and I
have a very busy week ahead. I am the Director for a Girl Scout camp
every summer, and camp starts today! So I will be a little scarce this week.
We have 140 people at camp this year, so I am pretty excited to get started tonight!!
Today I have a layout I made for the CSI Challenge #24 - this weeks colors were a little
out of my comfort zone, I don't normally use red, except in little bitty splotches, and I had
to search my room pretty hard for some greys to meet the criteria!
Papers: Reminisce, Design Originals, Echo Park and Teresa Collins/ Cardstock: Bazzill / Punches: Jenni Bowlin, Martha Stewart / Ink: Tsukineko, Smooch / Bling: Queen & Co, Prima, Kaiser Craft /
Embellishments: MS Crafts/ Prima, Fabric Supply, MME, Twinery, Craft Supply, Jenni Bowlin /
Adhesive: Scotch ATG, Scotch Quick Dry. Beacon 3 n 1, Helmar 450, Glossy Accents /
Other: Claudine Helmuth paint, Viva Decor Pearl Pen, Glitter, Sewing machine, Tiny Attacher
I am all about punching paper right now. Which is a goof thing, considering
that I have 3 drawers full of punches!
The sketch I used Sketchabilitiies had a cloud right by the banner, but for some reason
two butterflies holding up the banner popped into my head. Which also went with the clues
from CSI, add a silver accent, and the color of pure white.
Sooo, I have had this little chipboard accent, since, like, FOREVER. It came in a set that was one of the very first things I bought about 100 years ago. I have been waiting to use it.
I painted it with Claudine H's paint, gave it a couple of accents with a pearl pen and sprayed with Smooch.
Here is the CSI case this week
Very cool, yes. You should join in if you have not already. There is still time.
Here is the fabulous sketch I have used as well

ReplyDeleteThis layout makes me totally drool Anita! Just gorgeous! You do a fantastic job on the color challenges. I really enjoyed them, but I got so stressed out trying to find the right colors.
