CHILDHOOD ADVENTURES

HI EVERYONE AND WELCOME  to my blog . today I am sharing another case file from CSI  case file #140 

CLICK HERE  to go to CSI  I chose to go grungy this week and document a childhood adventure . ANTIQUE

 EVIDENCE

polka dots, hearts, wet medium, string, curves.

TESTIMONY 

I documented an ADVENTURE !

Dad loved to restore antique bikes, and I loved to ride with him.

 One of my fave childhood memories is riding on the back of dad's motorbike.

Around sharp corners and climbing steep hills .

 It was such fun and so exciting.

thanks for the adventures Dad xoxo

I wanted to achieve a layered grungy LO

with added elements 

to mimic the metal parts of the bike .

Tim Holtz / Crackle paint is the perfect medium to create 

shiny aged elements . 

I truly hope you have time to join in with this case . solving these CSI cases is both inspiring and intriguing. I find these cases always evolve my style . thanks for looking . CLICK HERE  for more info about CSI

NATURE is my bliss .. case file #139

case file #139 is open and ready to solve over at CSI  CLICK HERE  to find out more info

below is how I solved this case ...  I allowed the White, black and green to dominate  with snippetts of blue and yellow.  #Lovemylife

I followed Em's sketch slightly ...  focusing on the cluster .

EVIDENCE flowers, butterfly, string,  two of something (brads and flowers) , swirls and flourishes.
TESTIMONY I chose to use the inspiration words as my prompts for my journaling.  curious, two, perfect. I have always been curious about nature.  Blooms and Plants are perfect . (journaling continued on the back of my LO )  As a child I had my very own little garden  where I would tend lovingly to each beautiful bloom. I had at least two different plots,  one for blooms and one for vegetables . I watched with excitement as each bloom came to life  especially the pansies as they each had their own  little face . I would squeal with delight as the butterflies  darted around with joy. Nature is my bliss . thanks for popping by and have fun solving this case  see you next time. big hugz x
