"Nothing soothes the soul like a day at the beach"

 Loved the colours this week at CSI.

For those of you who know me and visit my blog,  

you probably guessed that my layout would  be about the beach....

I love spending time there.

{nothing soothes the soul like a day at the beach}

Case File No. 81

A quote I found and thought it very fitting for me.

I have written it on the back of my layout.

" Doesn't it seem to you

 that the mind moves more freely

 in the presence of that boundless expanse,

 that the sight of the ocean

 elevates the soul and gives rise to

 thoughts of the infinite and the ideal."

 Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary

The Scheme.. 5 colours

Evidence: twiggy branch, jute/twine, woodgrain, circles

Testimony: I have listed 6 awesome things about being at the beach

1.Weekends - Sundays

2. Being together - Family time.

3. Rest, Relax and Reflect.

4.Fishing.

5. The warm sun drenched sand.

6. The unending rhythm of the wild ocean waves.

I have loved reading all of your lovely comments.

Thanks for letting me know you have stopped by.

Bloom CSI #80

Solving case # 80 at CSI

 {Bloom}

I wasn't going to solve the case this week, the colours are really different for me....

 but that is what a challenge is all about.....so happy I did. 

This is my page....I have used the 5 colours from the Scheme.

The Evidence- flowers, transparency (Tim Holtz film strip), buttons and my 5 blooms form a triangle.

 Testimony- I was inspired by the  Easy Street Promps # 1132 ; "The Girl Who Found Herself"

 and I have hand written a personal message to Sarah and  tucked it in the an envelope under the photo.

The Sketch - I followed as it is.

The  quote reads "There comes a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud 

was more painful than the risk it took to bloom." 

It is so good to see the Happy, Strong and Confident young woman she is Today.

We are extremely proud of the choices she has made.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Twiddleybitz

Its been a difficult decision but I have decided to step down from my DT spot over at Twiddleybitz

Today I want to share with you a few things 

I have created using the fabulous Twiddley  Chipboard products

[sarah}

12 x 12 Shadow Box SB12001

Vintage Key VTG006 

 Itty Bitty Aplhas ALPHA005B

 Bag of LOve Heart  BAS013

 Using a 12 x 12 shadow box....

 I primed the box with gesso and let it dry completely

 I then painted it with 2 coats of white paint using a little paint roller...let it dry completely in between coats 

To add the texture I used a Twiddleybitz Chicken Wire Template and Impasto.... I placed newspaper inside the box to keep it white and sprayed 2 different colour glimmermists randomly around the edges. daubing off bits that were to dark with paper towel. Once completely dry I added some white Tim Holtz distress crackle paint .Other Twiddleybitz products,  Heart, Key Alphas and frame.
