This is the first time I've participated with the CSI challenge, so it was certainly something a tad out of my comfort zone, but in the end I enjoyed coming up with a page that fitted a number of the elements required.
From ARTastic we had a fabulous poster promoting Australia, depicting an iconic scene at a beach. Our additional element was to include a striped patterned paper. CSI added extra elements as well. On my layout I certainly have used a striped patterned paper (the background page from Fabscraps is based on a weatherboard/mural look) but I've also used stripes on my frame for my picture and on the hot air balloons. In addition, I've used a floral print, ribbon. transportation elements, created a rolled canopy, for a private beach gazebo and silhouettes. I've also journalled along stripes, used the words 'wonder' and 'gazed' as part of my story, as well as using all of the required colours.
Pop on over to ARTastic: http://artasticchallengeblog.blogspot.com.au/ to see what has inspired us and what the rest of the team has been up to. Also you might want to have a look at CSI as well. Pop over to :http://csicolorstoriesinspiration.ning.com/ to investigate their site more.
