Para Para Pardise.....

Are you singing the song now?....lol.

I created a page for CSI this week about a little place we found on our recent trip to Queensland that really was a slice of Paradise.

The case file this week is:

I just loooooove this colour combination and I usually find it hard to work with blue (even though it is one of my fave colours) but with these tones I was really happy with the final effect.

I solved the case using the Color Scheme.
My Evidence is in the ribbon, something that melts, like wax (well I used candle wax but it didn't show up a lot against the blue. You can see little blobs near the butterflies.  Something glass or transparent are my little beads (see close up) and something shimmery/shiny is the mist
My Testimony is documenting a holiday tradition (our annual migration to Queensland....lol)

And my page:


Can you believe there are only 9 days until Christmas?  I hope Santa is ready before then or my kiddies will be very disappointed.  I might have to send him a message to get a hurry on as time is running out....lol.

Enjoy your day.

P.S.  Congrats to one of my awesome scrappy friends Leonie who is now one of the Masters for Scrapbooking Memories.  Her work is amazing and she will be an awesome Master.
