I just loved the colour scheme for case file 278 at CSI: Color Stories Inspiration. I must be honest that the image had me stumped – briefly!

I have used plum-purple, deep teal-kingfisher, beige, black and white. I used map print paper amongst my layering and I added some triangles into the mix. All the chipboard on my layout is from 2Crafty.

I don’t often do a layout featuring just me, because I’m very self conscious… But when I searched on Google on the ‘random word generator’, the first word that came up was ‘retired’. Well… this did have me chuckling because I am – for all intents and purposes – a retiree! I retired from work at the (ripe old) age of 39! Although it was something I had looked forward to, the transition from working to slap-bang NOT working has been a journey – hence the title of this piece and the travel elements I have incorporated into my layering.
I inked my delicious, delicate little triangles from 2Crafty with a deep plum ink and I used white UTEE on my title.
Thanks for stopping by to take a closer look!
