Swirlydoos is guest designing at CSI!!!

Hi everyone! Swirlydoos has teamed up with CSI this month…so much fun! I created this layout for case file 222. 

Scheme: For this layout, I was able to use the color scheme by picking some papers from various Swirlydoos kits. The Prima flowers were from the December kit of the month. 

Evidence: I use chevrons, snowflakes from the latest Swirlydoos die of the month, pearls, ribbon tied in bows, flowers and leaves, background stamping in black Archival ink, glitter on the diecut snowflake paper, and Jax was the "something fuzzy"!

Testimony: I documented the first snow of the winter and did a three line Haiku poem adaptation.

That is it for me for today! Don’t forget to check out all the other Swirlydoos challenges and come play along with us at CSI! Make sure to share all of your creations on our Facebook page… Take care and happy Scrapping!
