Enjoy every moment - CSI #99

A new, lovely challenge is up at CSI:

And here is my take on it:

A true mix of findings from my pile of stash: no one mentioned - no one forgotten this time, but I spot The Paper Bakery, Studio Calico, LYB, Basic Grey, and probably some more :-)

Journaling: "DS10 is still enjoy the small things in life - like hunting for treasures in the garden with the metal detector. May 2013"

How I solved the case:
*Colors: The DT members get the file cases quite far in advance and the first description said pale grey instead of pale green. So my layout has grey instead of green :-) But the other colors are used.
*Evidence: Butterfly, Wood, silver metal,fabric (puffy and pleated, too), six of something (triangels, groups of six stars, six other wood embellies)
*Testimony:six word memoir

Do we see you this week at CSI?

Do cats dream?

Green paper: MME. Envelopes: Studio Calico. Labels & flair: American Craft. Ribbon: May Arts. Alpha: Lily Bee (small), Websters pages (larger). Tiles: Harmonie. Sequins, papers with stripes & frame: unknown.

Journaling:
"If they do, what do they dream about? Are they working on New hunting tecbiques, the Perfect ones which will ncrease the pile of mice under the front door stairs? Do they plan on how to get more from their humans? Do they dream about the day the neighbour cat is gone so they don't have to fight any more? I don't know, but they do."

I found inspiration to this layout in this week's CSI file:

How I solved the case:
*All colors used.
*Evidence: Polka dots, ribbon,frame, spiral note punch, labels

Journalings says: It's just so relaxing to sit down in the patio, watch above the land and sea, knowing it's growing and blooming there.


A few details:

Flowers & photo frame: Freckled Fawn. Resin birds: Webster's pages. Ribbon: MME
