Just Me - CSI#38


Another challenge this week over at CSI.
Check out the colours in the palette and check out the details HERE




Hidden journalling in small envelope


Details here




I loved these colours in the palette, so I had to join in the fun, (even though I have so so many other things to do!!!!! )Oh well, they can wait for a little while I created this layout, so glad I did, I had great fun with these colours.

Here is my layout
"JUST ME"


For Evidence I chose
Branches, 
flowers, 
newsprint (which i printed Michelle's coordinates that are available at the CSI Ning site, (gorgeous) also I
printed the little journal from this printable paper - 
"A book is like a garden carried in the pocket" 
(so sweet)
Woodgrain - MME paper in a washed denium colour

Testimony
I love that song by Lionel Richey "Easy"
so I wrote a few lines from that song on a piece
of paper and placed in the little envelope under the
flowers, it reads, 
"I wanna be high, so high,
I wanna be free to know
the thing I do is right,
I wanna be free
JUST ME"


Thanks for looking and thanks any comments
you leave on my blog,  I love reading them.
Cheers Adriana XXX :)

Christmas Time Beyond the Page


Hello there everyone, just sharing my 
Christmas Beyond the page projects 
I created with
Kaisercraft Christmas collections 
"Twig and Berry" and "Turtle Dove"

My first beyond the page project is a plaque 
which I painted and added crackled paint 
to give a wood cracked appearance,
I then created leaves with the papers 
and added the cute bird's nest and eggs.
Great idea for a home decore piece for 
christmas or to give as christmas presents.
You can view the material list HERE






Next is an Advent Calendar created 
with the "Turtle Dove" collections , 
this piece is also in
the Kasiercraft Workshop magazine 
for September if you want a closer look.
The material list is HERE







Thanks for looking and 
happy creating everyone, 
before you know it
Christmas is just around the corner!
Cheers Adriana :)
