Remember This - CSI: Case File No:48

Hello my friends:) I don't know when last I had so much fun creating!! It is the first time I take on a challenge by CSI Color Stories Inspiration and I can kick myself for not having done it before. What a fabulous way to get out of the rut that I was in and the best part of this challenge is that I got to work with colours I would never have imagined could look so pretty together.:) I have to admit that I got very bored with pinks and blues and browns together. This really opened my eyes to a whole new world of colour combinations:) Now here's another thing...I love the Crime and Investigating Channel on TV and I always have it on while I'm scrapping and not because I enjoy the crimes committed, definitely NOT, but because I love the "solving of the crime" part. I love the investigation and I love forensics and the best part is when the criminal is brought to justice!! Ok, now I'm rambling but now you understand why I loved this challenge so much. I had to figure out how to put all these clues together to arrive at the outcome and this is how I did it. First of all, here is the case file:

And here are the detailed clues...ooohh..so much fun! For the "scheme" we had to use all 5 colours as follows and hopefully I have achieved that :)
 

• Glossy Blue - sky blue, taken from the light blue tiles -- 159.205.228
• White Tile - white, taken from the counter -- 254.253.249
• Chartreuse Shine - chartreuse, taken from the green tiles--196.183.43
• Blueberry - dark blue, taken from the darker blue tiles -- 44.119.150
• Stainless Steel - gray, taken from the lighter parts of the stove -- 216.207.200

EVIDENCE (USE AT LEAST 2 ELEMENTS)

• clock
• mosaic
• silver metallic elements
• something transparent
• glossy accents
• fruit accents
• plain brads (inspired by the clock)
• something inspired by the bowl on the middle shelf on the right (e.g., a border punch, die-cut, lace cardstock)

Here I decided to go for the clocks of which I have three. The big clock was very much inspired by the picture of the clock in the image and so I coloured some pins with metallic markers and stuck them into the circle. I also went for the mosaics by painstakingly cutting little pieces if paper and arranging them in a mosaic type of style ..won't do that in a hurry again..lol! I also have one silver metallic elements and that being the key. The die-cut was inspired by the bowl on the middle shelf on the right. Mmm...I think I have the evidence covered... :)

TESTIMONY (USE AT LEAST 1 ELEMENT)

• Document something kitchen-related...food, special meals, your cooking talents, your own kitchen.
• Write your journaling as a recipe.
• Write your journaling as a schedule (inspired by the clock)
• Write your journaling in bullets and use glossy brads as the bullets
• List a bunch of words to describe the topic of your page OR choose one word and use a thesaurus to generate a list of synonyms (don't ask how, but that idea was inspired by the tiles.
• Inspiration Words: eat, time, create-- use these as inspiration for your journaling, not just as a title

Here I definitley didn't want to document anything in as far as my cooking talents are concerned as that is pretty much non-existent. I have to be the only person who has ever burned a boiled egg, so I opted for doing my journaling as a recipe. In my recipe I also used the "inspiration words" being "create, "eat" and "time" which  did using the colours in the scheme.

Are you still awake? Well, hopefully I have solved this case and can't wait to move onto the next one:)  Thank you CSI for the awesome inspiration provided and for making it so much fun. :)

The gorgeous flourish on my layout is the FWAB Elise Flourish Silver - Dusty Pink & Rose Pink Flowers Set  from Flourish With A Bling.



Oh and if you're wondering what happened to my poor Delta, she was spayed and at the same time I had to have her dew claw removed as it kept tearing into the flesh and causing an infection. She's such a lump and wasn't interested in anything except food when she got back from the hospital..drowsy and all...she lives to eat :) I cannot tell you how many socks I went through before the wound finally healed...she ate them :)

Now I need to go and do something about the mosquitoes that are biting the hell out of me under this desk. Till next time, be safe, take care and be happy!!xx
