The creative team at Flying Unicorn are guest designers at CSI this month. We had the option to play along with some Case Files. And if any of you are like me. I have the hardest time journaling on my layouts. So I figured why not give it a try, and see what I come up with.

“CSI is a  scrapbooking challenge that inspires you to try new colors schemes and to tell your stories. Our Case Files provide inspiration that will get you thinking about scrapbooking in a whole new way.”

So This was the Case File #193

The easy part is all the evidence, but to put it all together now that is the trick. This is my Case File #193.

I have no problems doing anything nautical. I should live by the ocean.

The color combo was phenomenal and the picture worked perfect.

I put a ton of tiny little details on this layout. I used some checkered paper, a small bottle filled with sand and shells, I actually used shells we brought back from out Cayman Island trip.

I used a mixture of 13@rts Fine Grained Grit that matched the color combo.

The testimonial: This is were I feel I lack the most in. i always end up putting off my journaling and then it just never gets done. But I choose to use the word “Fly”.

Not to bad for my first CSI. I will be trying my hand at this again. I hope injoyed.
