New goggles, much needed (CSI file #159)

This is my last layout as guest designer ("Special Investigator") at CSI in March, and here is the case to crack:

If you know me, you may have noticed I hardly ever use ink or paint or anything wet or messy, just because I don't have the patience for it. But this time I just kept adding like I was payed for it, and I loved how it turned out :-)

Patterned papers: unknown. Grid stamp: Kaiserkraft. Stensils: Thecraftersworkshop (grid), The Paper Bakery (hearts/circles). Rubons: Hambleys. Wood accents: Freckled Fawn. Epoxy heart; Heidi Swapp. Dymo: Dymo. Jewels & brad: unknown

How I solved the case:
*all colors used
*Evidence: Doodling, jewles, feathers, mixed media, grid pattern, rubons, love accents (the hearts)
*Testimony: Document things you love about you

Journaling says: " I love how I still challenge myself and go out of my comfort zone: I still ski and I have picked up equisterian again"

Ink & paint & my beloved dymo:

Dude - the Portrait of a 12YO

Hi.

As I told in my Monday post, we had a professional photo shoot while cruising last fall. Here is the portrait of my 12 year old (you find the portrait of the 15 year old here):

Papers: Echo Park (b/w background, LYB (blue), Pretty Little Studio (green/brown). Fabric Star: Charms Creations. Alpha: Basic Grey. Chipboard: LYB. Buttons & washi: unknown. Dymo: Dymo

Close ups:

 I cannot recall the last time I used scraped edges on a layout :-)
Or my Dymo :-)

I found inspiration to this layout in the January Sketch at My Creative Sketches:

Tell me - have you used scraped edges or dymo lately?
