Memories

For CSI 252


I started with some Kaisercraft striped paper, then added some yellow paint stripes and splatters. Then added a black diamond die cut border.
 The picture is of my niece at about 6 years of age..

For this Challenge I was inspired by the bold stripes, diamonds, circles and hearts. Used all of them in my layout. I journaled in a frame. "Hannah's beautiful smile could light a room.:Age 6"

Shake it like you mean it

This layout was created for CSI 251....
Had fun creating this one. This winter I have had the opportunity to watch ducks on Lake Michigan. Some tend to be very timid, but some actually enjoyed putting on a show. I took pictures of some very photogenic Merganser Ducks.


Used some hoarded materials on this (polka dot paper is from an old stack of paper, ribbon is from my stash, as it the background paper, which i doctored up a bit.
Most of the accents on this page are from cocoa daisy (clouds, butterflies, leaf branches, feathers and enamel circles), except the birds (paper studio) and prima flower at bottom and ribbon. I also edged a lot of the papers with ink. I painted the top of the page with some white and light blue acrylic paint, to make it lighter, like the sky

CSI 251 --used all colors , clouds, animals (birds), stenciling (fish net pattern), used circles (photos and mats are cut into circles) and journaled about an animal--my experience watching ducks.

Journaling reads: "Merganser ducks on the lake putting on a show, strutting their stuff".
