Case File 97 for CSI

This is the beautiful colour palette for Case File 97 at CSI..........
And this is my take..

I solved the case by using a patterned background, a grid design around the borders of the page, and have dry embossed chevrons onto cardstock and used as a backing for the 3 cogs which have been used as a base for the pics. As testimony I have used repetition with all the circle shapes and have the  word LIFE in my journalling which is on the back.
The journalling reads.....LIVE LIFE to the max, that is your motto.... and this day was no exception. We had travelled to Sydney in October 2011 to stay with cousin Trish. She and I went into the city to see The Jersey Boys, (Me for the third time and Trish for the second) whilst you and cousin Steve decided the Races were a better option. It was a big day at Rosehill  and they were giving the hats away. You have both always enjoyed each others company and had fantastic day, even though no money was won. Steve sent me this pic of you both via his mobile.

Another layout. This time for Black With 2. The colours required were predominant black, with Cherry red, coffee/toffee and 5% white.

Did this one for Case file no 96 over at CSI. It's my first crack at CSI and I did enjoy this challenge immensely. The evidence used was a clock, a frame, sheet music and vintage pics.
The testimony reads....Remember this mum? You were only eighteen, and I bet that Nanna never knew about this costume you made for yourself. She would have had a hissy fit if she had seen you in it.
