2 Cute!

Hi there!

When I first saw the image for this month's challenge at CSI, I immediately thought, "Ooohh, those are my kind of colours!" The closer I looked at the details, the more I liked it. I got very inspired and hit the scrap desk!

Here's what I came up with:


Isn't this little donkey the cutest thing you've ever seen?

In case you haven't seen it, here's the CSI challenge. You can find all the details here.


I used many items from the Evidence List:

  • The colour scheme
  • A pack animal (I didn't have a photo of an alpaca but I figured this donkey is pretty close!)
  • Clouds
  • Textured paper (the strip along the bottom is corrugated cardboard)
  • Circles
  • Zig-zag stitching
  • Tiny brads
  • Stamps
  • Decorative border
From the Testimony I chose:
  • Document a memory about an animal
  • Journal directly on the background
I couldn't find any alphas in my stash that were the right size and colour so I cut them from co-ordinating paper. I added some stamping to the background. I didn't want a strong black colour because I didn't want to draw attention away from the soft, pastel colours, so I used an older, drier ink pad which worked perfectly.

There is heaps of messy, zigzag stitching around my photo and the page.


I added tiny brads and stamped, stitched circles (with more zigzags!).


I added a little cluster with my journaling. The date is up near the photo.


I love the giant number 2. It's a Heidi Swapp one. I've stencilled and splashed on my background with Dusty Attic paints. The text stamp is from Denim Tampons.


That was heaps of fun! Thanks for looking.


Happy scrappin'!

Heather

  3. Donkey's are the like the original pack animals!! They are used all the time here in Arizona to take people down into the Grand Canyon! They are better with the steepness of the Canyon, and can carry a ton of supplies on their backs for people! Little trivia for you! In fact, years ago, my Dad went on an excursion down the Grand Canyon and they used donkey's for the trek!! I love love love love love this! LOVING the colors and the tags!!!!!!!!!
