Debbi has managed to find one of the most colourful holiday inspired images I have EVER seen for Case File 286, over at CSI: Color Stories Inspiration!

Awesome, right?! There is just so much to see in this image that you are totally spoiled for choice where being inspired is concerned! Here’s what I created:

So… I was drawn immediately to the centre of the image – the polka dot costume; so I decided that I wanted that element to be the centre of my layout too – hence the spotty base page. I also grabbed some tropical elements from my ephemera stash (palm tree, tropical bird) and my 2Crafty Chipboard pieces (Delicious Monster Leaves and Sun burst styled flowers), and tucked those in and around my layered cluster. I used stripey and floral print paper, as well as some wave-print paper too. My title is also from 2Crafty Chipboard.
My journalling / story stems from the word ‘rock’. During our January holidays this year, we spent a week in the Cederberg. On one of the days, we took a gentle hike and headed out to some rock pools very near where we stayed. There were the most gorgeous pools, waterfalls and animal life. It was incredibly quiet and just the perfect way to completely relax.
Here are some more images of my piece:
