Guest Designer for CSI 120 and The Trinket Track

Hi Everyone,

Here is my last LO for my Guest Design spot at Colour Stories Inspiration and The Trinket Track.  This case filed ends on May 4.  Next week will be my 1st creation at part of the CSI Design Team... so excited!!

Remember This - CSI #120

I chose to use the inspiration word sad for my starting point on this LO.  Every time I look at this photo of our dog Louie, I get a little teary.  He was the most beautiful and loving dog, but unfortunately we didn't have him in our lives for very long.  I still expect him to be at the back door waiting to greet me with his happy bark and furiously wagging tail.  

Monica has a wonderful variety of embellishments at The Trinket Track.  I have incorporated quite a few of them here in my little side cluster.  The gorgeous resin frame is one of my favs and I love the natural textures of the cork it butterflies and coconut buttons.  I have also tucked in a pretty resin bloom, mulberry paper meadow bloom and topped my butterfly with the glass catseye cabochon heart.

As part of my Testimony I created a vellum pocket for my journaling with my Silhouette Cameo.

How cute are these little metal flower charms!  To give them a little dimension I bent the petals inwards and highlighted with a little green/gold Viva Inka Gold, then topped them with one a little piece of the berry foam spray for the centres.

Love the metal arrow charms.  Again I have altered the charm to suit the colours in my LO by rubbing over the charm with Viva Inka Gold in green/gold.
