Take Note| CSI: Case File No. 324

Our July challenges are live at CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration. Here's the layout I made for our first July Case File:

Here are the Case File and clues for this challenge:

I had some Bramble Fox Perspextives sitting on my desk, and the colors were perfect for this Case File, so I used that as my starting point. I used Cocoa Vanilla's beautiful Unforgettable collection, which has the same basic palette as the Case File, and of course all the lovely florals, which met the flower clue. I added paint (which is a clue) to the texture paste, and used a Bramble Fox stencil to put the hearts on the background, and I also sprinkled (another clue) some pink and magenta watercolors on the background. I added the brad to meet the metal clue.

My background paper is old BasicGrey, which is a clue. The title is also from Bramble Fox, and I put bow from the Cocoa Vanilla collection on it. Enamel dots are a clue too. Another clue is a pattern with multicolored dots, and I found a paper in this collection to meet this clue.

How cute is that little Bramble Fox typewriter from the Retro Comms set? I snagged the journaling from my friend's Facebook page and loaded it into the typewriter. I found another brad to add to tis cluster balance out the brads and circles in the top left.

I hope you'll come play with this challenge. It's always so fun to see what everyone makes, and be sure to add your layout to our Facebook group so you can be eligible from a prize or gift certificate from our seven sponsors this month:

I Love You | Paper Issues Spring Crop - On the Wings of Love

Hey, scrappy friends! I hope you come join our Spring Crop at Paper Issues for all the fun challenge we have going on this weekend. We've got a musical theme, and all of our challenges are named after a song. Here's the challenge I created and the page I made.

I made another page for one of my 29 students. I scraplifted myself from a layout I made in 2018.

Here are some details. I used the beautiful FREE Monarch Butterfly Wreath cut file from Paper Issues.

I used Cocoa Vanilla's beautiful Unforgettable collection. The butterflies were fussy-cut from one of the patterned papers, and the flowers, tab, andcamera are diecuts from the collection.

I sprinkled a few iridescent sequins around my page for some sparkle and added a few tiny punched butterflies. Those white chipboard letters are super old Thickers.

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 please use my code, Debbi (no e on the end), and you'll get 20% off your entire order!

Favorite Photograph | Bramble Fox

It's my turn on the Bramble Fox Instagram today. I created this layout with an awesome silver Perspextive title from the January Fox Box, as well as some sweet little heart Perspextives.

The Fox Box is a perfect way to get a variety of Perspextives. I highly recommend subscribing. Plus you get a couple of exclusive items. Subscribing also gives you a 15% discount on other items in the shop!

Here are some details. The cut file I used is by The Cut Shoppe. I used a Vicki Boutin mixed media paper for the background. The rest of the elements are from Cocoa Vanilla's Unforgettable collection.

I love the heart Perspextives. They are always a perfect touch when you need a little something.
