I USED SKETCH INSPIRATION FOR MY CSI FRIENDS WITH FLAIR

This is the layout I created for CSI Case # 43, using sketch # 344 from Sketch Inspiration  The color scheme was black, sunny yellow, pale green, white, and medium green.  The black and white are in the background and photo mats, the pale green is in the paper clip, the medium green is in the distress marks on the background paper and the frame around the journaling, and the sunny yellow is on the flourish and the paper clip.  I used my gelatos to color the chipboard frame and flourish--LOVE them!  My evidence was the damask paper, the patterned brad, the black and white patterned script paper, and the flourish.  My testimony is the frame around my journaling.  I am really enjoying doing these challenges.  The test your creativity so much.  The background paper I used is from Authentique's Peaceful collection.  The black and white script paper is by Bazzill, and the black and ivory damask is from Teresa Collins.  The patterned brad is by 7 Gypsies, the paper clip and flourish are by Basic Grey.  The letter stickers are by Tim Holtz, the chipboard frame around the journaling is by Cosmo Cricket, and the flash card is by Teresa Collins. 

This is the facing page, using the same damask paper, background paper, and cardstock.  In addition, I used some tissue tape by Tim Holtz and paper tape by 7 Gypsies.  I used old paper distress ink on the cardstock where I stamped, using Unity stamps.  The date tag down in the lower right corner and the circle stamp around the brad are from the February 2012 SMAK kit.  LOVE those SMAK kits!  The brad is by 7 Gypsies and the journey title stickers are by TCP.  Had so much fun creating these two pages. 

WOW IT'S WEDNESDAY AND I USED SKETCH INSPIRATION FOR MY CSI

 

I made this layout for the case 42 over on the CSI, Color, Stories, Inspiration challenge site and used Sketch 343 from Sketch Inspiration.  I am also participating in WOW Wednesday over on the blog for my local scrapbook store, Cat's Creations Scrapbooks. 

 

I made this to go along with the page I did last Friday, using some My Minds Eye "All is Bright" paper.  Even though it is part of their Christmas collection, it doesn't look like it is Christmas paper.  The "scheme" in this case are:  rose red, buttercream frosting, spring green, bluems (navy blue), and aqua blossom.  My background paper has the buttercream frosting and aqua blossom in it, the polka dot paper, the swirl , and embellishments have the red, and the navy is in the banners up at the top, as well as the top brad in the embellishment cluster on the left.  My "evidence" is the polka dot paper strip, the circles, the textured paper for the photo mats, and the flowers on my banner/journaling spots up at the top.  My "testimony" is the flowers on the journaling spots up at the top of the page. 

 

I used things from numerous manufacturers:  My Minds Eye - the background paper, the polka dot paper, the piece of washi tape ast the bottom, the pearl swirls and banner; Basic Grey - the stiched brads; Glitz - the calendar tag; Cloud Nine - the square epoxy spot, the quote tag in the middle of the banners at the top; Reminisce - the circle sticker.  The photo mats are cardstock by Wausau and I used a Fiskars paper crimper.
