Feeling SKetchy #118 and CSI Major Case File # 160 Guest Detective..

Hello there,
I trust you are having a great day!

The card sketch for FEELING SKETCHY #118 is another lovely one. I received some wonderful news a couple of weeks ago that my Nephew and his Wife were expecting their first child later this year..  So I thought I would make a little card to congratulate them... and the sketch..
and my card.. not knowing if this little one will be a boy or a girl I made the card in neutral colors..

Congratulations!

 I seem to have lots of old papers in my stash, so the papers I have used are many years old.. and  I used a cute little chipboard baby sticker.. My Nephew had a serious accident last year, so this baby news is such good news for the family!

And I am a guest Detective over at .C.S.I. Case File #160 which closes on Thursday April 30. I had never created a layout for this challenge before and when I was asked I was a bit worried about following all the details.. but once I understood how the challenge works, my layout came together quite well..

For my layout I used the sketch for inspiration and  I have used the colors.  I have used travel images, textured paper, frames, flowers, something transparent, decorative borders, chevrons, rub-ons and stamps, from the Evidence.. and from the Testimony I have journalled about a trip I took up the coast to visit my Daughter, and I have used the word fabulous in my journalling..
