Bloom and Grow - a birthday card

A CAS birthday card, with beautiful color combo, from Color Throwdown 580:

The card base is dark gray cs, and I used pale gray pp and green pp (both Lemoncraft). The sentiment was stamped on 75 Studio paper, and I added baker's twine and dew drops.

I used Freshly Made Skdetches 422:

I also goes for the 'Let it Grow' challenge at Global Design Porject 227:

Life is good - CSI case file no. 267

A new month, with a new challenge at CSI, case file no. 267:

For quite a long time I had no idea what to do with this case file. I don't celebrate Christmas and the moodboard was so so Christmas! 

Finaly, I decided to go 'freestyle' and to let myself be inspired by the colors scheme. I used a photo from our travel to Paris. When we walked down Champ-Elysees, we were caught in a heavey rain and found shelter at Paul's, warming ourselves with hot chocolate and macaroons.

When I looked for the matching pp, I came across an old My Mind's Eye paper, which had all the colors on on side, while the reverse side had a great geenish pattern. I wanted to use both sides of the paper, so I decided to make the folded circles. Who said you can't eat your cake and have it too?....

The design is kind of scraplift from Stacy Cohen.

The pp for the base is from Craftandyou and the pp for the photo matting are from Studio 75 'The Peony Avenue' collection.

I also used the following clues: dots, a tag, create your design using a grid.

My journaling, on the tag attached to the photo, describe this lovely moment.

Here're some close-ups on the details:

Chocolate Six - for CSI case file no. 241

 Hello everyone :),

Sharing my take on case file no. 241 at CSI:

This is how I've solved the case:

Sketch - checked.

Scheme - I've used all 5 colors. The background pp is LemonCraft 'Heart Painted 2', and all the other pp are Scrapberry's 'Yummy' collection. The colors of this collection were just perfect for this challenge, and I only added a brown cs as matting.

Evidence - hearts, stars, chevron arrows, vellum (underneath the title), and woodgrain pp.

Testimony - I've added stars to my journaling spot, which is the hidden tag.  I documented an event of when my eldest arranged a fun game for his brother's birthday. It was an assignment he got as part of his Bar Mitzva year, and we all had such laughs and fun. On the back side of the tag, I wrote the game's rules.

Here are some close-ups on the details:

I would like to enter this layout to the 'Food/Drinks' challenge at Simonsays Stamp Wednesday challenge.
