Here's my debut layout with Stick It Down. I'll be playing on the 1st Tuesday of every month at Stick It Down and am on the single page layout team.

Random Layout - CSI#67

Here's my take on CSI case #67. I have on the layout all 5 colors. The evidences for this challenge that I have on my layout are : punctuation as accents, stars, accents from the picture--robot, car, plane,bicycle, clouds, use pen and outline elements with pen. My testimony is based on handwrite your journaling, write a random collection of facts about your topics and Inspiration Words: think, chaos, question-- use these as inspiration for journaling, not just as a title. As #1 would say Think? when he hits a roadblock. I would say, Moments of creativity, moments of frustrations with your robots and little fingers that sometimes don't work together. You turned angry and upset. Most of the time with tears. I wish you'd be more patient, think during chaotic episodes which you encounter with your toys and ask how. It's okay, no one is perfect

Random Layout - CSI #64

 

This layout is for CSI #64. I found a lot of old photos which I printed extra from aeons ago. This is one of them when I was in Salzburg in May2002. It was the 2nd time I travelled out to Europe. Well the photo did not showcase the Alps or anything, it's just me near the train station, taken by my cousin who was travelling with me back then. Something that I learnt and love about myself is my guts to wander around, without having planned much:) and it was my 1st time trying beef goulash in a hidden little eatery at one of the streets of the Old Town. Yup, I love to explore the little nooks and corner of new places, expand my knowledge about others' cultures, just curious and wanting to know what is new in a new places. Evidences that I have included bird, rub-ons, stamps, circles, stencils and  pen work. There are 3 stencils used on this page, a few layers of stamps here and there. Testimony includes the use one of the words on the image as a jumping off point for your journaling [love], document what you love about yourself, use a journaling stamp and journal as a series of verbs [I feel, I like, I want, I can, I will].

Random Layout - CSI #60

This is a shot of a latte taken from Jones the Grocer at Dempsey Hill. We go there mainly for breakfast on Sunday before heading out to the Botanic Gardens for the kids to run. Kids love their fruit salad while we just settle for simple toasts and latte. Just a simple boost on a Sunday morning. So this layout I had made is for CSI case #60. I love this palette especially because of the red and chocolate color! I had used all 5 colors in the palette. The evidences would be hearts, layers (of stamps and colors and texture paste), something that drips, circles and  solid white background. Testimony taken from this link prompt #6 a favorite restaurant and #31 a photograph - I have included the name of the restaurant as the title and how the photograph of the latte inspired me to use the never-utilised before sentiment stamp from TT.

p/s : #2 cringed at my layout and complained that the mudwok texture paste on the layout is DIRTY, gave me a loud "EEEEEEEE!" and ran away. #1 said that this piece is awesome. So what do you think?

Random Layout - CSI #58

Here's my take on CSI #58. I have photos from our family gathering at En, at central with our extended family. It is a nice Japanese restaurant which serves awesome food. Here are some of the shots which I managed to captured. I have used all 5colors required for the layout. Evidence I have these : string (Jute basically ties back to the rope in the scene from the photo in case58), clouds (linking to my 2word journaling in testimony), transportation accent (the car symbolised how we got there). Testimony Look at your picture and let your thoughts wander and just write about what comes to mind. Just two words - cloud 9
