CSI Case file No 123

It has been a while but I just couldn't go past this case file from CSI.  I have always loved their challenges I think because they definitely challenge you at a higher level.  This one sure did that, but in the main I love that it challenged me to document a pretty important part of our life 'the story of our relationship'  I found another wedding photo not yet scrapped and it couldn't have been more perfect... funny how that happens sometimes!

Here is the layout I created:

Here also is the challenge I was working to:

I solved the case with a mixed media background, jewels in the form of glitter, stamping (was on the background I started with) and mistable elements (lots of spraying going on in this one)

I also wrote a story in the form of a fairytale.

Here is a video showing how the layout came together:

 I had so much fun creating this and being challenged by the case file.  I also love that it inspired me to document how the two of us met which I hadn't yet done :)

I'll leave you with some more detail pictures so you can get up nice and close with the layout

I used some of my favourite products in creating this layout:

Tinby Designs Metallic Melts in Patina

Spellbiners Flutter tree die set and the Blooms Four set

The Crafter's Workshop window screen stencil - a long time favourite.  

Faber-Castel Design Memory Craft Gelatos, papercrafter crayons and whipped Spackle

Imagine Crafts irRESISTibles

You can see how I used them in the video, so be sure to head on over and check it out :)

Also to let you know if you don't already, I will be teaching a mixed media layout at the Papercraft and Scrapbook Expo in Brisbane June 7-9.  I think there is a spot available on the Saturday and a couple on the Monday after I opened some more spots after previously selling out so quick.  Unfortunately due to room size no futher spots will be opened once sold out.

Head on over to the website to book your spot here  My class is in Room 6 titled:
