Life's Good- CSI GD with 2 Crafty





I'm really happy to announce that I'm a Guest Designer this month at CSI as 2 Crafty is the main sponsor in February, which means gorgeous inspiration from our team, and a fabulous prize pack for one of the CSI players!

Come check out their blog here



This is what you can win if you participate in the CSI Challenge this month



Please visit all the guest designers' pages in the Guest Detective forum to say hi and to hear how they responded to our "Interrogation."
As always, Michele has created a fabulous set of printables for you! Check out the awesome globe and those cool travel icons Michele made for us! We can't wait to see how you use the Coordinates this week! 
CSI Coordinates can always be found at the bottom of the reveal threads.  Scroll all the way to the bottom, where it says "Attachments." They are just above the reply box. Read about some tips on how to use these cool printables here
February is the month of love and Valentine's Day, and this week's scene was found at Bouf when searching for an image of a romantic getaway.
So are you ready for this week's challenge? Grab your forensics kits, CSI members, and get ready for some serious sleuthing as we open Case File No. 58. 

How I solved the case:

I used all 5 colors from the palette which conveniently appeared in these beautiful Prima papers.
I used another picture from my recent trip to Florida and as testimony, I journaled about my daughter's love of the beach.

I used metal, String and Twine for Evidence.

Here are some close-ups:




There is also a great challenge at Berry71Bleu and it asks you to use blank space. I'm usually not one to leave blank space on a layout but this time I did and so I'm entering it for this challenge. It is hosted by Anupama!!
