29 - Delight

This is another page for Monica's book. If you don't know about Monica, she's my best friend's daughter, and she lost her 23-year-old husband to bone cancer after a long battle since he was diagnosed at 17. I'm grabbing pictures off of their Facebook pages to make a book so she can remember the happy years she spent with James. I was so happy when I found these photos that seem custom-made for this Case File.

Clues I used to solve this case: Evidence: Stripes, labels, something transparent, angles, stuff in a pocket; Testimony: Top 10 List; title from Inspiration Word

The sun wasn't cooperating today, and I had to brighten my background, which was coming out all uneven. The background is textured cardstock. The black border is digitally added.

I used the current Creative Scrappers sketch as inspiration for my page design:

Here are a few close-ups. For those who don't know, I scrap 8 x 8. I used lots of old product, plus some new--lots of Echo Park. I've got details about specific things on my blog, if you're interested: http://debbitscraps.blogspot.com/2012/07/delight-csi-case-file-no-29.html

Thank you so much for looking at my layout. :)
