CSI - challenge CC3

CSI brings you two amazing challenges this week and today I am sharing a special Case file CC-3!

I wanted to create a layout about nature so I decided to use this photo of Esja (a mountain in Reykjavik). I really like this photo because it is so calm and shows the snowy tops of the mountain - winter is coming! ;)

I created the background by using several different colors of Tattered Angels Glimmer mist, gesso, ink and stamps.

The die-cut files are some of my recent faves and I got them from Studio Calico.

 

Hop on over the CSI site and share you take on this challenge.

A new book and Odd sentiments

I am currently attending a course where I am learning how to create all kinds of books and albums and I love every minute of that class.

So when I made this book I knew I had to decorate it as soon as I got home from class. 

So I decided to get my flowers, doilies, leaves and Some Odd Girl sentiments V2 out and give this book a finished look.

Just love these sentiments and they are such a neat way to decorate a book for someone special!
