Emma's blog

How Emma solved the Case: I cracked the case by sticking close to the colour tone. 

I used an image that had fish in it. Incorporated a wood grain concept with my stamping, I used leaves, frames and a light bulb. I also used the word ‘Home’ in my journal concept.

Marie's blog

How Marie solved the Case: I used moodboard colors and also my evidence: Stripes, Floral pattern, Book Pages, Banner, Leaves, Butterfly, Frames, Spiral

The chipboards used

- A Mother is a Special kind of Friend
- Frame Retro Floral
- Mini Branches
- 2019

ATC Tiny Hearts and Stars - http://2crafty.com.au/craft_chipboard/tiny-hearts-stars-units-p-1248.html
Moroccan Tile Panel - http://2crafty.com.au/craft_chipboard/moroccan-tile-panel-units-p-2019.html

How Marie Claude solved the Case: I have used an old ledger paper for my background, cut-apart cards and a pile of teared papers to mat my photo. At first, I had a blue scheme in my mind when I dug into my stash, but in the end, I went with a red and cream layout, in a almost Christmas theme.
