Birthday Cookie

CSI 246

This was a cute image with lots of inspiration to pull from my own childhood. My parents were always very creative with celebrating birthdays. On my fifteenth birthday, my parents got me a birthday chocolate chip cookie which was perfect, cause I loved chocolate chip cookies (and still do).

I was inspired by the hearts, dollies and clocks; and I am sharing a childhood memory of my 15th birthday.  I did a little mixed media in the background. I stenciled with some paint, added some drops of ink and ink splats. I also did some doodling (circles) and stamping (clocks). I die cut the red borders. and used a bunch of stickers.I used all 5 of the colors, but was also inspired by the gray-ish script writing and the dark gray hair in the picture and added that into my layout as well.

Shine

Alas, Christmas is over, and a new year has begun....and CSI has a great challenge to kick off the new year. I spent Christmas with family and have lots of photos to document. The CSI challenge can be found here: http://csichallenge.blogspot.com/


 



Had fun creating this, used some mixed media (paint splatters and paste) ad used some older papers (Colorbok and G45).  For the challenge, I used stars, dots, string and banners.I used the word shine as inspiration. My niece is so happy in these photos showing off her Christmas presents, her latest beanie babies.



So come join the fun over at CSI and be inspired.
