Just be yourself - CSI case file no. 279

The mid-month reveal is up at CSI, and this is my take on case file no. 279. Here's the inspiration photo:

I took inspiration from the colors and the white space. I must say the white space was quite challenging for me.

For this lo I used my April counterfeit kit.

The clues I've used to solve the case were: dots, stripes, b&w prints, hearts, cursive fonts, lots of white space. I tacked my journaling in a pocket, and used the inspiration word "Make", to write some thoughts about making choices in life, and sticking to them, as it was election day here...

Christmas 2017 mini album

Hello crafty friends,

Today I would like to share with you a mini album I've made for my nephew and his wife, to documents the magical moments of the coming Christmas.

I don't have any X-mas papers, so I challenged myself to mix&match papers from my stash, to work with the X-mas colors. For the decoration, I've used stickers, punches and dies. On the front, I decorated with a brad and some fabulous Robin's Nest dew drops.

It measures 5-1/4" by 4-1/2", and it has a cascade on one side and double pocket on the other one, with lots of tags and photo folios.

Here're close-ups:

I would like to enter it to the following challenges:

Mini album makers challenge

Anything goes Christmas plus more than one score at Scor-Pal (the pockets and the cascade were made with the help of the scoreboard).

December moodboard at Jot Magazine.

Christmas at Country Vew Challenges.

Merry Christmas to all of you who celebrate. Joy and peace to you and your famalies.
