CSI Casefile #233 July

So the new challenge at CSI colour challenges is just really charming. I had so much fun with this:

So I decided to use something related to the weekend, and although not a ritual, I took the word relax as extra inspiration. So I scrapped about a very relaxing scrapping retreat that I went to in July last year. I had a fabulous time, and did very much relax and scrapped, and met a whole lot of friends. One of these friends was the Charmane Koch, the designer of Charms Creations, who I am on the design team for. 

For the evidence I used stripes, text print, straw, flowers, string, decorative border, triangles and watercolour (coloured textured paste with gelato - for script stencil background). 

I also added a Charms Creations hessian heavenly heart.

I hope to see your creations for this challenge.

Time to Relax

Kraft Plus August Challenge

How is it already near the end of August? I can't believe where this month has gone, let alone this year. I have hardly scrapped this month, life has just got in the way.
I did do the challenge at Kraft Plus though, and this is the challenge:

I went on a scrapping retreat in July, and met for the first time, Charmane Koch and Amanda Hartmann, creator and fellow creative team member from Charms Creations. It was so lovely to meet after so long working together on the team. So I thought it appropriate to create this layout, my tribute to meeting them. 

Naturally, I have included a Charms Creations embellishment, a heavenly heart. 

I have included 3 tassels on my layout, and I had a lot of creative mixed media fun with the background. 

Thanks for looking at my layout, and for any comments you may leave.
