#77 @ CSI

Another cold, wet, Orange day and the start of 2 weeks of school holidays...... Love not having to wake the kids up on these chilly, winter mornings....they can snuggle away to their hearts content.

I want to share what I have created for the CSI-case file #77 (pop over and be inspired, the DT have created some real magic!)
here is a close-up to begin with.....

{Take Me As I Am}

Pearls, Satin Ribbon Flower, Script Stamp, Leaf Template 12x12, Web Ribbon and Tiny Twine all from

Craft Queen

I have also used the gorgeous Scrapmatts Twig Frame and also the Leaf Spray.

With the leaf spray, I have coloured with Ivy glimmermist.

Hope you like?

The journaling around the outside reads~3:30pm- Friday, 14th February-1992-Sherbrooke Lodge-Dandenong Ranges, Victoria. The clouds parted and the sun appeared, just in time for photo's the leaves all about us seemed the most beautiful greens, so fresh and clean. Just so perfect!!!

The Case file looks like this....

So you need to have all of the above colours. Pick 2 things from the list of evidence and 1 thing from the list of Testimony to incorporate into your layout.

And most importantly....have fun!!!

Cheers and hope you have an awesome & happy weekend

Love & Hugs
