He Loves You - CSI Case #255

Hello June!! I'm glad to see you! June marks the beginning of the end for me every year - I have only 18 work days left before summer vacation rolls around, and I just can't wait for 10 weeks of un-scheduled life! This time of the year is a busy one at my company - the end of school year bus trips and sporting events are in full swing right now.

June also means a new case is up over at CSI : Color, Stories, Inspiration! And, even though it has both pink AND purple in it, I really enjoyed creating with this combo.

Here's the freestyle case prompts for this case:

And here's what I made with it!

These fun pictures of my oldest daughter and her boyfriend were taken by a friend of hers and I just loved them! Inspired by the word playful I thought of these pictures right away, and then that led to wanting to document for her how we feel about their relationship.

Here's how I solved this case :

COLOURS

I used 4 of the 5 colours this time. I really wanted to use these papers that came in my SCT Sampler kit because I loved them so much. In particular, I really loved the hummingbird paper. So I added in a bit of red to match the middles of the flowers on that pattern. I loved the little puffy bird sticker that was also in the kit, so that's how I ended up adding in the yellow title letters. I tried to get the dark purple to fit in but in the end, it didn't work out, so I chose to leave it out. I may or may not have a bird obsession.....


EVIDENCE

Solid White Background
Hearts
Dots
Rhinestones
Ribbons & Bows
Circles
Decorative Border
Seal or other Animal (my bird)
Asterisk

TESTIMONY

I used the Words list this time - "Playful" inspired the photo selection which in turn inspired the journaling.

Journaling :

He Loves You

and though you haven’t come right out and said it,
i think you love him too.
a respectful, calm, caring guy who already loves Jesus?
honestly, we couldn’t be happier with your choice.
and, while we’re still not 100% sure where this relationship will go,
we do know that we would love him to be part of our family someday.
i’m so glad you’ve found someone that knows how to love you so well.
i hope you continue to allow him to do just that.


Here's some closeups:

Here's those awesome title letters and that beautiful bird! The letters are from Freckled Fawn & I love how perfectly thin they are. They were easier to apply than I thought, and a little puffy as well. The bird is from Crate Paper. Isn't he beautiful?? I loved his colours so much! While hard to see, I added 3 tiny rhinestone jewels to his wing.

This is the little cluster at the top of the page. The photos themselves are popped up, so I used it as an oppurtuity to layer up my stickers as well. The "LOVE" tab is on the background, but the stamped blue tab is on the photo itself. Also making up this little cluster are 2 heart stickers, a wooden asterisk topped with a clear rhinestone, and some staples.

And finally, this is the little cluster on the right hand side of the photo strip. My sister cut me a bunch of clear acetate shapes with her Cricut and I thought that it would be fun to add one here. A few more stickers, 2 more wooden asterisks, another rhinestone, some pom pom trim and a silver elastic trim finish this little spot off.
