'Twas the Night Before Christmas (Blue Fern Studios DT Reveal 2 & CSI 219)

My next project as part of my DT reveal for Blue Fern Studios is another layout using the gorgeous Vintage Christmas collections, this time documenting a very special Christmas wish.

This layout was inspired by Major Case File No. 219 from CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration.

Let's take a closer look at this Case File!  You can also see it HERE on the CSI blog.

The SCENE inspired me to scrapbook one of my favorite Christmas pictures, and quite obviously, make my page as festive as possible with holly, red gems and lots of gold, glitz and glitter. I incorporated the SCHEME and based myself on the SKETCH provided in the case file.  As for the EVIDENCE, I opted for : PLAID patterned paper, candy cane STRIPES, lots of HOLIDAY STUFF, TWINE, TAGS, STARS and a TREE on my photo.  My TESTIMONY consists of a bit of journaling in which I use the word WISH.

Before I met Yves, I had spent many a Holiday season surrounded by family and friends, but still somewhat lonely, wishing for true love, the kind of love that lasts a lifetime. My wish came true in 2006 and, since then, I get to spend every Christmas with my life partner, my soulmate, my best friend.  

This picture was taken on Christmas eve a couple years ago. That is why I chose the Blue Fern Studios title 'Twas the Night Before Christmas as the title, on which I used the new Santa's Suit embossing powder.  It's red and glittery and perfect for any Christmas project!

 On my background, I used the Weathered Doilies stamp with the Ebony powder. I added Holly Springs, covered with Sage and Santa's Suit, to my flower cluster and bits of Mixed Chains, covered in 14Karat, along the top and bottom of my picture.

Here you see a piece of the Holiday Vine, all decorated in gold.

And a final close-up of my Christmas wish come true!
