Little Snail in a Shell

On Friday night, a new Case File was revealed for CSI:  Color, Stories, Inspiration.  Case File #20 has a fun color scheme and some great elements to use as evidence this week.  I took a couple of photos of my little girl holding a tiny snail out in the yard, right before Debbi sent me the Case Files for the month of May, as my Special Investigator assignment.  When I saw this Case File, I knew right away that I would save these photos for this reveal.




  
See what I mean!!??  A perfect file to go along with these pics!!  :)  I used I actually used 8 out of the 11 elements, in the evidence portion this week and for my testimony, I put my journaling on top of something...the die cut spiral.  I also used some of the RGB codes this week to print my own patterned paper.  I set the RGB codes in my desktop publishing program, and then used some doodle fonts in word art to create the little circle border across the bottom of my page.  Michelle Singh, once of the CSI Investigators, also provides some amazing coordinates each week for the Case Files.  You can download the coordinates and use them digitally or traditionally, by printing them out.

So don't miss out on the fun this week.  Come over to CSI and upload your layout to the Gallery by Sunday, May 27.

  6. This is an awesome layout!! I love the pops of red against the green and kraft paper! There are so many other things I love about it too... The swirly background that you journaled along, the circle border, the little snail embellie, the way you fussy cut the leaves from that SEI paper, and the lovely stitching! I think you could take a picture of anything and make a great layout with it! This is FABULOUS!!!
