Hello everyone

Its a very dreary day with some heavy rain last night , very wet under foot, had to go check the garden to see if my Orchids that are in flower survived and didn't get ruined in the rain. All is well , they survived and will have colour for a few weeks to come.

Today i decided to do the second layout for Mystical Scrapbooks, they are sponsoring CSI blog challenge this month so they asked us to do CASE FILE 265 

https://mysticalscrapbooks.blogspot.com             http://csichallenge.blogspot.com

There was lots in this photo that caught my eye : The stripes and triangles in the cushions, The Photo frames with the black and white photos, There was a cat, sure they don't mine  me using a dog, The gold arrows  and gold and silver accents

The colour palette required was:  carnation pink , pale pink, bright white , light Grey and black. I used all the colours in my layout Using a picture of my husband when he was a boy and his dog Trixy
There are Traditional clue to take inspiration from as well, this took me a little while to understand what they wanted as the challenge is not what i am used to, they have a mid month one which i am going to do as well
