Betty Crocker

CSI 264 The inspiration for this challenge is about books. I really dont read too many books anymore--there are a few I still enjoy. One that I enjoy looking at is my parent's Betty Crocker cook book. It brings back many memories of childhood, so this layout is about the Betty Crocker cook book.

The CSI challenge is here: http://csichallenge.blogspot.com/.


For this challenge I used some text paper, inked the edges and a pocket to hold hidden journaling.
The Betty Crocker cookbook holds many memories for me-- of dinners my mom cooked for us growing up, Christmas cookies we baked together and birthday cakes for birthday celebrations.

To make this layout, I made my own background with blue paint, splatters, and modeling paste to create the checker pattern. I also layered some die cuts and the flower stickers.

Fall birds

In honor of our fall themed CSI challenge (263) I decided to do a layout of some fall birds.
The csi challenge is here on their blog:  CSI blog.

For my layout I used metal corners, flowers and leaves, bird (owl) and journaled about fall birds. I used some pretty Graphic 45 paper and made some die cut leaves for our fall theme. I also added some stickers from my stash.
I journaled about Fall birds. Fall is a great time to do bird watching. Lots of birds migrate through our area in the fall. Some birds here over the summer will migrate south. And some of the birds that spend fall months here will start collecting and storing nuts.

Come join the fun at CSI!
