Best Friends {CSI Case File No. 184}

We've got a lovely Major Case File open for investigation at CSI: Colr, Stories, Inspiration, and since it's a Major Case File, it's open for the entire month, and the creator of our five favorite layouts will be invited as guest designers.

Here's my page. Some of you know that my {step}dad died two Christmases ago, and I've been creating an album for Mom. This is a page for that book. Clues I used: Evidence -- stars, animals, triangles, circles, banners, fruit, crown, gems, glitter, grid pattern. Testimony -- handwrite on a series of labels, inspiration words: love, joy.



Here are some details. That background paper is super old--by We R Memory Keepers, and it was the perfect color to match the palette. I've also used some old Chatterbox and K&Co (the green papers). The gray heart paper is by Pebbles. Such a sweet pattern. The pink stripe is what's on the back of that one. The speech bubble is cut from an older Echo Park paper. The little dog is a puffy sticker. That cherry flair is by American Crafts, and the chipboard bits on my page are all by MAMBI. I stuck a little gold heart charm on Teddy, my mom's sweet dog. His eyes are dark, so it's hard to see his face.

The triangles are a cut file from Silhouette. The fabric bird brad is by BasicGrey, I believe. I just took all my brads out of their packaging and sorted them by color, so I can't remember for sure. The labels I journaled on are by 7Gypsies.

The glittery heart sticker is by K&Co. They come in a bunch of different colors and are perfect for adding clusters of embellishments.

I hope you'll come by and play. We've got lots of great sponsors--Bo Bunny, Carolina Ghelfi Scrapbooking, Flying Unicorn, Heartfelt Creations, Scrap Matrix, and Scrapbook Fantasies.
