A Beautiful Case @ CSI

Hello all :)

I've been a little slack blogging of late but do plan to organize myself a little better over the coming weeks as I really need to! 

Life is starting to slow down a little after the craziness of last month.

This weeks case over at
is a truly gorgeous one and along with the awesome sketch for inspiration from
Emma Stafrace
I tell you case#110 will be a breeze for you to crack!!!
 


Here is how I solved it!

 {Darling}

 Colour Scheme- All colours....I really loved this colour scheme, it's right up my alley, so to speak!
Evidence- Flowers (Prima), a single feather I found in my front yard, pearl stick on thingy's
Testimony- Written on back of layout. Sidney you looked so stylish and fancy for your Year 6 Farewell Dinner. Very Stunning, in fact!! 
Your dress, shoes, hair and make-up came together perfectly with a little help from Samantha!


The flourish
and the word Cherish
are from 
the Doily's, kaisercraft stamp, flowers, twine and wooden button and wooden word 'DARLING' are from




Yesterday 14th February (Valentine's Day)
Roy and I celebrated 22 years of marriage....WoW!!! 
22 years and we have almost been together for a total of 26 years
 

then
 and now!!!!

Photo: 22 years of marriage today! #happyvalentinesday#loveforever 

We went out for a lovely lunch together.
xxxx love you honey!

So my plan is to blog a little more over the coming weeks, hope I can do it!

Hope you have a little scrappy time this weekend

Love and scrappy hugs

but first let me share with you the latest 
CASE File over at 
 CSI

case file No. 108

 Life
{A new story has begun}

Colour Scheme- All 5 colours.
Evidence- Mixed media background. I have used texture paste and an embossing folder to create the background pattern then I painted over the design with glimmermist. Newsprint, well it's actually a book page.....Flowers which are a mix of fussy cut and Prima flowers. Stamp- I have used a tiny dot stamp from kaisercraft. I have done some random border punching using an open scallop punch from EK success. Flowers,stamp, punch and pearls are all from Craft Queen 
Testimony- I have used the word Story in my title. Written on back of layout- What a special moment to share with your Mummy and Daddy, Flynn! To be with them and your other Grandmother to welcome you into our world....a truly special moment in life :) 

 





So here is a look at Case No. 108
 


The Team of Investigators over at CSI have really cracked this one wide open.....be sure to head on over and take a look
