I Love cats

CSI case file 273 makes me think of spring (even though it is still cold and snowy here). Very pretty colors to work with, so I made a layout featuring my kitty Ellie (my other cat, Prince is not pictured).

For this case file I used paint, wood, ribbon and hearts. I journaled about the things I love about both my cats. I used up some papers I have been hoarding. The striped paper is from my stash and the polka dot paper is from Cocoa Daisy (prize I won last year.) I also used some die cuts and stickers from my stash.

Without further ado, this is my layout:

Winter Fun

CSI 272 is a great winter themed challenge. The challenge can be found on their blog, here: http://csichallenge.blogspot.com/.The photo was very inspiring, and used animals, snowflakes and plaid, from the photo. And journaled about a winter activity: watching bald eagles.
I stamped the animals, fox, raccoon and hedgehog. I also incorporated some die cuts and stickers.

Here is my layout:

Christmas memories

Cold case 271. So the idea on this challenge was to pull stuff that has been in our stash for a while.... So i pulled some older papers, and embellishments to create this:

I got lots of inspiration from the photo, I liked the wreath in the photo and created one of my own. I die cut pine branches from older papers. I also liked the birds and flowers and added those as embellishments to the wreath. I also liked the scallops on her shirt and added a scalloped border to my layout--top and bottom. There seemed to be a holiday/winter theme, so I journaled about my Christams and how I was lucky to spend it with my family, including my niece. All the embellishments I added (stars, flowers, birds, silver bling, chipboard title, and stickers were things I had sitting in my stash and am happy I got to use them.
