(Erin) "His Obsession" CSI Challenge #2


Good morning! I am excited to share with you a fun layout I created for the CSI (Color, Stories, Inspiration) Challenge #2! As I mentioned before, they are a new challenge site which incorporates great color schemes with journaling prompts and other requirements to get you started on some really great projects!



We were asked to use these five colors shown in the case file pictured here and choose one prompt from the list of journaling details and two elements from the evidence details. For my page I chose to include flowers and a fence for my evidence details, and for the journaling I chose to write in a stream-of-consciousness, or free-writing, way. My journaling reads as follows regarding my younger son Gunner's obsession with cans!:

"Oh my little Gunners~ your obsession with cans is so clear in these photos! What a strange thing for a child to love so much! But you do...you literally shake with excitement when you see a case of pop! You love to stack them, sort them, put them in boots- and the toaster oven- but most of all you love to throw them! So infuriating- but you love them so!~"

Thanks for stopping by- hope you can also get the chance to play along this week with CSI!

Supplies Used: Papers- Webster's Pages "Garden Gala" & Echo Park "Victoria Gardens", Flowers- Prima Marketing & KaiserCraft, Letters- My Little Shoebox tiny type & American Crafts Thickers, Tag- October Afternoon, Mist- Mister Huey's White, Other- twine, book pages, cardboard, paint.
