Love | CSI Case File No. 322 + Paper Issues Scraplift Sunday

I created this layout for Case File No. 322 at CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration and also for Paper Issues Scraplift Sunday challenge.

Here are the Case File and Clues for the CSI challenge. I loved the color scheme so much, I decided to make another layout for this Case File. This time, I omitted the pink, but the peach and navy reminded me of the Twilight Collection by One Canoe Two.

I used the following evidence clues: solid cardstock, patterns with plants, fruit, foliage, paint, labels, cut something, phrase stickers, and the same font with different colors.

Paper Issues is one of our sponsors this month, so I played along with one of the Scraplift Sunday challenges. Here is Kat's amazing layout I scraplifted.

I used a Paper Issues FREE cut file called Rainbow Corners.

I went through my paper scraps to find some solid-ish or painted-looking papers that matched the Twilight papers to back the rainbow, and I found tons of old papers that matched--Cosmo Cricket, old My Mind's Eye, Chatterbox... Love being able to combine old and newer stuff. Not sure what brad that collection belongs to, but I thought it went well with this collection.

Fruit was a clue, and I found a pinky-peach strawberry in another OneCanoeTwo collection. The stickers and labels are all from the Twilight collection.

One of the clue was to use a font in different colors, and I have a couple of different alphas that meet that description, but the BasicGrey letters matched the colors pretty well. I added some watercolor splashes to the background, and I always add hearts to layouts I give away.

I hope you'll come play along with CSI and with Paper Issues. You could win a gift card from both the CSI challenge or the Paper Issues challenge because Paper Issues is sponsoring us this month!

Isn't She Lovely {Paper Issues Winged Things Challenge}

Here's my most recent page I crated for Paper Issues, for the "Winged Things" challenge, which was to use something with wings, so I chose butterflies.

I used the beautiful Monarch Butterfly Wreath free cut file from Paper Issues and fussy cut some butterflies from a One Canoe Two paper. I gave them dimension by lifting their wings with pop dots.

I added some shimmery white sequins. Since I don't put these pages in albums (I store them in boxes), I made one of the butterflies flying off the page.

The blue flowers were cut from an Amy Tangerine paper. I wanted lots of layering under the pretty picture, but I didn't want it to look too heavy, so I folded up some tissue paper and cut it and tucked it at the bottom.

There are so many beautiful cut files over at Paper Issues for free. While you're at the store, check out all the new goodies, and be sure to use my code, Debbi (no e on the end), and you'll get 20% off your entire order!
