The World is the Canvas to your Imagination (Maureen Wood AUST)

Good Morning
 On this very muggy day, Due storms at lunch time from the Low that has hit  N.S.W. bringing heavy rain.

Today is about a post for the CSI Challenge case file 266, I was introduced to this challenge thru Mystical Scrapbooking as they  sponsored case file 265 and it  being their challenge for the month.
I thought why not give it ago, as i had completed everything else for the month, made by Secret Santa projects and Christmas cards finished and ready to go. I feel really organised at the moment, but things change quickly, all challenges i do on a regular bases done as well.

Feel free to interpret the Case File in any way that inspires you, or for our traditional clues, scroll down to the bottom of this post.
I actually use the Mood Board  




I have chosen to use the yellow, orange and blues on my page,
Stenciled the background but having no orange paint to add to my texture paste used blue and yellow, the photo looks more red , but its actually came out a burnt orange colour, Use this to create the diamond as  in the pillows, then added frames, birds and journaling in the frames , have added a cat.
Have only taken a few elements for this page as i wanted a simplicity page for my grandson photo heading off to school. This layout the bits where all taken from oddments of scraps of paper some of which had already been embossed.
