Grateful for You

Fall is officially here in the U.S. and I decided to make a photo of our daughter the centerpiece for this layout at CSI Color, Stories, Inspiration. Our family get-together for Thanksgiving was held at my sister in law's home in Dallas. 

Here is how I solved the case file:

Scheme: all five colors used
Evidence: grid pattern, numbers, flowers, leaves,
      tape measure, scallops
Testimony: I used a prompt from Can Teach. "What would you do to entertain your family without spending any money?

Here, you can see a close up of the gorgeous Blue Fern Studios paper, flower, chipboard and a stamp. 

Don't you just love the embossing? Think Ink Embossing Powders by Blue Fern Studios have so many gorgeous colors to choose from. I embossed the title, "Grateful for You", with a bit of a bubbly looking finish.  

I always do some 3-D work on my layouts. I can't help myself....the Blue Fern Studio Paper is so gorgeous, that it begs to be noticed, so I pop it up in hopes it will be seen before everything else!

The Journaling reads, "Elizabeth always has been the life of the party. A perfect example would be last year at our Thanksgiving celebration. Liz borrowed a turkey costume and made a salad. Everyone was entertained! She makes us laugh whenever we are together, and it doesn't cost a her a penny. I am so grateful for her!
