Escape {CSI Case File No. 263 + PageMaps Collaboration}

October means fall, even though it's almost 90 degrees here, so I picked an autumn image for our challenge at CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration this month. And we're super-excited to be collaborating with PageMaps this month! Here's the page I created:

And here's our Case File:



And here's the PageMaps sketch Becky sent me:

Here are some details. I was inspired by the earthy colors and textures in the Case File, so combed through my 6 x 6 pads to find one that had an earthy feel, and found a couple that would do the trick--Fancy Pants Golden Days and Jen Hadfield Warm & Cozy. Next, I tried to use as many of the traditional Evidence clues as possible--I managed to use woodgrain paper, leaves, wood veneer, twine, frames, birds and other animals, something woven, and distressing.

The little critters came from KaiserCraft's Hide & Seek Collection. The chipboard piece is by 2Crafty. I'm so lucky to have so many of their wonderful chipboard left from when I was on their design team.

The leaves are cut from an old Scenic Route Paper. I've hoarded that leaf paper and used it sparingly over the years. I'll be so sad when i use it up!
