Fly Away

Hello, dear scrappy friends! All of the cold weather we have been having makes me wish for a milder climate....perhaps one like in the Pacific Ocean....The Hawaiian Islands, to be specific.

If you have never played along in the challenges at CSI, try is out. I guarantee you will have fun and may even win some of our wonderful prizes! 

Here is how I solved Case File 247: 

Scheme: All five colors used.

Evidence: Floral patterns, beads, leaves, 

Testimony: Document a Summer memory

     I was inspired by the hula girl in the prompt. 

You can see the layering and the work done for the background here.

                    

Three-D and background work creates interest.

The journaling reads, "We had come to the end of our cruise around the Hawaiian Islands and would be flying home the next day. The luau was a perfect grand finale and it lived up to all of our expectations.

The Blue Hawaiian Helicopter had been fun, flying above the misty island where Jurassic Park was filmed, but to me, it couldn't compare to the luau.

The actors and dancers told the story of how they came to the islands in such a beautiful, graceful and dramatic way that it will always be our favorite part of our Hawaiian vacation!"

Thanks, in advance, to everyone who stops by and leaves a comment!
