I decided to play along at
this weekend and got my scrapbook page photographed and uploaded for the challenge in the nick of time! CSI has new challenges regularly, so if you miss one there is always another one to inspire you. For this layout, I used the following as my guideline: Case File No. S365-7
CSI requests that you use all five colors in the file, two things from the Evidence list and something from Testimony on your page. (I also used a tiny touch of brown). When I saw that there was a hot air balloon in the Evidence list I was delighted! I was working on a layout using an April sketch from Page Maps and it included a hot air balloon. Notice that the sketch has string, scallops, and clouds too? Serendipity! Instead of using two small pictures, I chose to use one 4" x 6" photo.
I decided to make a layout about the fun things we did this summer. We are homebodies and enjoy unscheduled time, and the months College Girl isn't in class are perfect for stay-cations. Everything on my page is symbolic of our summer activities.

| I used Scrapmatts laser cut chipboard clouds and winged bird |
I misted, stamped (branches and vacation quote), and sewed on the background page before I got started with paper layering.
I used Crushed Olive and Peeled Paint Ranger inks to distress the paper edges.
I used a photo of the Finding Bigfoot cast because College Girl and I watched an episode almost every night after Handyman went to bed - she and I are night owls! Speaking of owls, one night a large Great Horned Owl perched at the very tip of our Norfolk Pine in the front yard and we took a picture of it.
Notice the owl button I included on my layout?
On the pull-out tag (left) I listed the fun things we did over the summer break, which included listening to music from the 1940's and watching 1940's movies. We also tried new recipes, went to Charming Charlie's and Ulta for the first time, had backyard fires, read books, and did ceramic painting.
One scrapbook page done, a few thousand to go- haha!
