Art Play {CSI Case File No. 194}

Case File No. 194 is closing tonight at midnight. I meant to get this up earlier, but I've been so busy with school. Here's the Case File:

Here is my page. Clues I used... Evidence: hexagons, stripes, animals, bows, stars, paper airplane, string, something loopy, diamond shape, numbers, puffy stickers; Testimony: Journal about a favorite game, inspiration word: play, add string to your journaling.

Here are some details. 2Crafty is sponsoring CSI this month, so I used lots of awesome 2Crafty chipboard on my page.  I know my blue is off, but I decided to take liberties with the blue because I found this perfect hexagon paper. 

The yellow stamping is a Kaiser Craft stamp--I used it for the numbers clue. The little heart on the star is another puffy sticker. My paper airplane stamp met both the paper airplane and the something loopy clue. How cute are those 2Crafty birds?

My journaling talks about how all my favorite toys were the artsy-crafty type. The journaling tags, tucked behind the blue paper read: I loved making bright, sparkly pictures with my Light Bright and rearranging the little plastic bits on my ColorForms. Drawing pictures with the knobs on my Etch-a-Sketch delighted me to no end. Getting a new box of crayons with all those lovely colors and their neat pointy tips gave me a special thrill, and I'd spend hours coloring in my coloring books. Give me anything artsy-crafty, and I was a happy little creative girl. How cool is that loopy 2Crafty arrow?

We've got 13 sponsors this month, including 2Crafty, so you'll definitely want to play. If you're reading this before midnight and you're a speedy scrapper, go for this Case File--the sketch makes it easy to plan your page. And we've got another Case File opening this evening. Here's a look at all of the awesome sponsors donating prizes this month:
