COSI Adventure

I love the colors for CSI 260 and had the perfect photo in my stash to boot.

So for my layout I used flowers, gold, glitter and trim. I put the testimoney (journaling) in the form of an itinerary. Photo is from when our family visited COSI a couple years back. And journalling describes some of the exhibits we saw while at the museum. (The times, naturally, being a rough estimate).
9:00 Be curious about the mechanics of pullies
11:00 Discover decades paste
12:00 Refuel at the deli
1:00 Adventure through space
3:00 Return to Rendezvous spot.
I used some mixed media on this to create the background. Prima acrylic paints and some misc. ink sprays from my stash. I also painted the flowers blue and gold (with prima acrylics) and pink with Tim Holtz pearls. I did a little stenciling with bo bunny glitter paste and added a little bling (gems and sequins). I also painted the gears pink with acrylic paint. Had lots of fun playing with mixed media and paint on this.

Documented

CSI 259 Tis the season to document summer and vacations. I thought this would be a great opportunity to document my family reunion. Relatives from Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio and Georgia all came out to socialize and visit family members we haven't seen for some time.

For my layout, I was inspired by cursive writing, stamping and flags. I journaled about the time we shared over breakfast with cousins and family.
For this layout I was also inspired by a sketch I saw for a card (which can be found here: https://www.scrapbook.com/gallery/image/sketch/6180031.html ).
I translated it to a scrapbook layout for this. I was also trying to use some older material on this. I created a sunburst with some hoarded papers.The papers are hoarded, esp the textured blue paper. The washi tape is hoarded. I used a strip across the top and made banners (flags) with some different tapes as well. I stamped the orange paper with a small sun stamp and also stamped hearts by the word documented. I also doodled stitching along the sunburst and circle.
My layout:
