CSI Case File No. #58~ OWG Love

Hello everyone!

I trust you had a blessed Sunday.

Today I want to share my weekly layout for

CSI Case #58 Challenge.

Let's see how I solved this week's case.

 This week included a fantastic sketch from Page Drafts.

I was so in love with the color scheme.

Here's my take:

This layout is all about the ladies in OWG on one of many

travels together.

Here they are in Forks, WA on the LaPush beach.

Forks is most known for the filming of 

The Twilight Saga.

You guessed it!

This is The Older Women Group

in which all the women love Twilight.

I used all 5 colors.

Evidence:

*wood

*metal

*string, twine

*create a jagged edge

*sailboat or other transportation accent

*something sheer e.g. vellum

Testimony:

*Document a getaway

*Put your journal behind something sheer.

Close Up Views

Journaling:

This is one of many stories of love, compassion, and togetherness among women.

The Older Womens Group was established for older women that had one

thing in common, the book/movie entitled "Twilight."

We all had an obsession just as younger women. It seems silly and

pointless to many but for us, it goes beyond Twilight. These women are just a 

typical wife, mom, and grandmother. Balancing dishes, dinner, employment,

and all things Twilight.

Women from all over the U.S. and international share love, excitement, laughter,

sadness, and complete friendship. They take great pride in planning trips to

Twilight conventions, red carpet premires, birthday parties, and where the

movie was filmed. These pictures show just one of many trips made last

year to Fork, Washington, on the west coast. This group consist of 2000 members

among which friendship bonds have formed. All of us have spent endless

hours chatting on phones, IM, and  forum rooms.

In sadness, tears, and death we all comfort and be there for each other.

We send out cards for holidays, special days, and birthdays just to say we care and love.

There are so may creative sisters within the group that create special gifts for each other.

These are kept and looked at just to smile and remember the love we share.

I've never been able to travel but I have enjoyed conversations, pictures, cards, and

chatting.

Yes we all love Twilight and each other. Whether Team Edward or Team Jacob{that's me}

we are a family, Shimmer Sisters. Forever caring , sharing, and enjoying a last bond

of friendship within sisterhood.

Forever Love!!!!!!

~~~~

There are many more stories among the ladies.

So long that a book needs to be written.

The Twilight Saga has ended but what we share in this group

will never end. The traveling will never end.

Because this is a bond of friendship that is

endless love.

Case solved!!!!

 I trust you were inspired.

Thanks for stopping by and

enjoy your week.

CSI Case File No. 45~Cherish

Sunday Blessings to you.

Today I want to share my

CSI Case File No. 45.

Let's see how I solved this case.

 

I came across this old sketch to use.

Here's my take:

I used a vintage and shabby chic style.

This picture is of my mom and her twin sister

when they were babies 

in 1924.

Here are close views of the journaling.

This is the journaling taken out of the scroll.

The journal reads as:

A Story of

Twin Sisters!

________________

 This story begins in a

city called Pittsburgh

Pennsylvania in the year

Of 1924. On a crisp and cool

Autumn day, October 24^th, 2

Twin sisters Mary and Martha

were born to Corrine and

James Johnson.Corrine

birthed Martha first and

then came Mary. My mom

told me Mary was slow

coming because she was

sleep and sucking her

thumb. As a child I

also sucked my thumb.

as the story goes Mary

and Martha were named

according to the Bible.

They were beautiful and

chubby dolls of the family.

Grandpa Johnson was so

proud of the twins he

decided one day he would

have their picture taken.

So it was so that twins

picture was taken while

sitting on top of a horse.

Grandpa Johnson held on to

his girls without being

seen. Without a smile or

cry the perfect picture was

taken and soon given to

Corrine and James. Today

the picture was Passed

down to me as a picture

of family heritage which

you now see. Thus the

story of the twin sisters

lives on in a photograph

of this and many more.

Although my mom was the

first of the twins to

pass on to heaven, love,

beauty, and heritage

continues to live on in

my heart and mind with

precious memories.

Love always.

The new technique was the use of texture molding paste.

I finally found the recipe

from Gabbi's blog.

Instead of spending $$$$ you can create homemade paste.

Texture Paste Recipe

1/2 cup Baking Soda

2 Tablespoons white school glue

1-2 Tablespoons White Acrylic Paint

(some water may be necessary)

Instructions:  Add the mixture to a container with top and mix.

You might want to add a few drops of water. Stir until

you get the texture heaviness you want.

The mixture will keep in the air tight container. Just stir and you are good to go.

  

Well that's it for today.

Remember there are a few days left for the giveaway.
