Love | Bramble Fox DT layout + CSI Case File No. 297

It was my turn to share a layout on Bramble Fox's Instagram the other day, and I decided I'd use their beautiful products to make my layout for our first October challenge CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration.

Here are the Case File and clues for this challenge. From the evidence clues, I chose stripes, plus signs, woodland animals, flowers, leaves, crown, woodgrain, autumn themed elements. I also went with the basic color scheme and added some gold.

Here are some details. How gorgeous is this rose gold Perspextive? It's called Love. I decided to see if I had any Felicity Jane kits that matched the colors, and this one called Autumn was pretty close. The papers, flowers, leaves, and plus signs are from the kit. The rest came from my stash.

The lovely little crown from the Bramble Fox Glitzy and Glamour pack was just perfect to fit on this sweet little deer's head.

The jeweled heart is also from the Glitzy and Glam pack. That frame is a stamp I recently got, and the clip, pearls, and brown label are all from my stash.

If you haven't yet used the Bramble Fox Perspextives, why not give them a try by subscribing to their Fox Box, which gives you an assortment each month, including some exclusive pieces. While you're over at Bramble Fox perusing the beautiful stuff in the shop, be sure to check out all the new winter/Christmas pieces!

And I do hope you'll play along at CSI. Look at all the generous sponsors who are donating prizes this month:

Favorite Hair Place {Bramble Fox Stash Smash Challenge}

I made this page for the current Stash Smash challenge over at Bramble Fox.

Here's the April challenge. Every month, the Stash Smash challenge gives a topic and something from your stash to you.

Here are some details. How beautiful is that shiny silver Perspextive? It was in the April Fox Box, but you can also buy it separately.

When I set out to scrap these photos from my visit to my favorite hair salon, Alter Ego, I remembered this Felicity Jane kit that had the girl with the big curly hair. It turned out to be perfect for the colors in my pictures.

As you can see, I stitched through my title and the borders and added some tangled thread behind the photos. How gorgeous is that gold bow? It's from the Glitzy and Glamour set. The star that I added to the bottom title is also a silver Perspextive.

I hope you'll come play in our monthly Stash Smash challenges.  You might win a gift certificate to buy some of these beautiful products!

You Are My Sunshine {CSI Case File No. 279}

Our mid-month reveal went live at CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration. I made another page to give to one of my students:

Here's the Case File that inspired this layout:

As well as the colors, I used a bunch of Evidence clues: dots, stripes, black and white prints, scallops, hearts, sun, buttons, people elements, cursive fonts, something that looks hand-drawn, and of course I used the inspiration word "sunshine" for my Testimony clue.

The little girl in the Scene made me think of the die cuts in the Felicity Jane kits. I went searching through the kits I have to see if any matched up with the colors in the Case File and I found one. Here are some details. The sun is a cut file from the Silhouette store. Everything in the picture below is from the Felicity Jane kit except for the yellow cardstock, the tags, and the black and white stripes.

I'm always happy when I can use buttons on my layouts because I have a TON. This is an old chipboard button by My Mind's Eye.

How sweet is that little clip? And I also love that tiny Felicity Jane stamp with the trio of dots.

I hope you'll come play along. We've got 9 generous sponsors donating prizes this month:
