CSI #68


This is my second week as a "Special investigator" over at Color Stories Inspiration , and this cool case file was our source of inspiration.
Case file #68!
To me this seemed like a very masculine color scheme , So I decided to do a page featuring my twin boys.
This day they had found my Id. badge from work and decided that they were super cool super spies. lol!! they were so cute and funny at this age!



I made the background with lots of paint using my Gelli plate screenprinting tool, which gave a colorful and dimensional background. Since it was so colorful,  I added a lots of the embellishments in black to ground it.
From the "Evidence"
I used:
Circles
dots
Stripes
Small brads
flowers
Stitching
paint
pen work
triangles
from the "Testimony" I documented something funny, and my journaling is written as 3important things, and 5 less important things. It is hidden on the tag tucked behind the right side of the photo, and reads:
"Important; 1.every moment with you
                   2.Watching you laugh and play
                    3.Finding joy in the little things that make you happy
Unimportant; 1. Laundry
                       2.Bills
                         3.Cooking dinner
                           4.housework
                             5.Everything except spending every minute of your childhood being amazed that you are both wise beyond your years and yet so free in finding whimsy in small everday things. I want you to stop growing so I can enjoy this a little longer, but I also cant wait to see the men you will become!"

thanks so much for looking!

Color stories inspiration case file #66

This is my first Case file as Special Investigator for CSI this month!

Here is Case file 66
 And here is my interpretation of it


I included the colors
Ridiculously Red
Good-Humored Gray
Silly Slate
Witty White
Blithe Black 
From the evidence I included the following
 
·      buttons
·      flair
·      something fuzzy
·      bow/ribbon
·      pocket
·      hearts
·      dog (or other pet) accent
·      plain white background
     drawing/doodling

From the Testimony I documents something funny and my journaling is hand written and tucked in a pocket behind the photo.
The journaling reads:
Just look at this face! isnt he just the cutest thing in the world! This cow was at the Amish farm in Lancaster Pennsylvania and we just fell in love with him. The Amish family thought we were very strange because we  were giving him a voice and making him say things like "got milk".
They made a point to tell us that he was for food. this made Megan manic and she insisted that we take him home! it was so hard for her to leave him there. But we did, but not before Megan hugged him and wished him a happy life!

Thank you so much for looking at my first case file as a special investigator! 
Your lovely comments make my day!
