CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration detective Nicole was at work

and let me tell you, they are a bunch of pretty fabulous detectives!

Let me explain how I solved this case!

The Scene in this case celebrates International Music Day!

I was mostly inspired by the Summer-y feel of the image and so 

decided to scrap a photo of a very fun pool party with co-workers,

most of whom who are also, of course, my good friends!

In the Scheme, you find some ballerina pink, minty green, 

pale warm gray/off white, dark navy blue and sky/powder blue.

From the Evidence list, I chose: 

floral print, flowers (of course), flamingo, wood and circles.

For the Testimony, well, I went for the obvious topic of Summer 

and hand-wrote my journaling about a superb Summer evening with friends.

And as always, the Major Case comes with a fabulous sketch!

Now let's take a look at some details:

The papers used are from Simple Stories.  It had most of the colours of the Scheme

and had that darling flamingo piece of evidence!

I'm very self-conscious whenever I hand-write on my pages,

but I have to say that it gives a personal touch that scrapbooking 

is supposed to be all about.

I used a square stencil with blue paint and then a circle stencil with pink paint.

After my layout was all made, I found that it was missing something... so I drew

a swirly design around the photo and embellishments and then stitched it.

And there you go.... the 'good life' with a great people!
