Special Invesigator for CSI for the month of June 2015

Good Evening
Its been a little while since I have last posted, life has been busy and I am in the process of doing a major clean out.  Amazing how much stuff you accumulate after 5 years and we are moving shortly and I reached a point of if I haven't opened the box, go through it and throw out what isn't needed in taking to the new house.  One big skip bin later, OMG...... It feels fabulous and free of clutter and I have even made some money in selling old items not needed anymore.

I have been lucky enough again to be chosen to be a  Special Investigator for the month of June over at CSI.  Below you will find the Case file and my interpretation. 

 

 

 

Case file No. 166

 

My interpretation: The Great Outdoors

 

Colour Theme: I used all five colour themes throughout the layout.

Evidence: Stripes, scallops, flowers, paint.

Testimony:(IW) - Play

Prompts: Topic - Favourite childhood activity (family)

Case file No.160 from CSI and my layout called Shipwreck Exposed

Hello there!

Hope this message finds you all safe and well!

Sorry I haven't posted of late, but I recently had some surgery done and have been on the mend, well as best as I can be since the holidays has started.  The poor kids are suffering from cabin fever and well, what can I say, they have been very patient to say the least!

I wanted to share with you the latest Case file from CSI.  The case file is No. 160, a gorgeous colour palette and sketch from the wonderful Emma Stafrace from The Nifty Pixel :)  Click on the links to see for yourself the Case file and what's happening in the scrapping world.  Below you will find the case file, sketch and my interpretation.

Case File No. 160 & Sketch:

 

 

My interpretation - layout called 'Shipwreck Exposed'

 

The Scheme: All five colours.

The Evidence: Map Print, travel elements, textured paper, frames, transparent item, metal, decorative border, chevron pattern.

Testimony: Travel Journal Prompts

IW: Purpose

Journaling: It had a purpose, but it didn't meet its destiny. In Feb 1893 the ship they called 'Buster' drifted off its mooring and become shipwrecked on the shore off Woolgoolga NSW in a violent storm. I took several photos in 2008 after a massive storm surge had hit the coast and exposed it after 100 years.
