CSI-Case File No 5

For the evidence this week I have used a chipboard frame and highlighted it with flourish corners, obviously used a cutting tool to cut out paper, and I have used leaves in 2 corners of the frame. For the testimony I have written about what you cannot see in the picture. It reads: 'Poppy just loves playing with you Marnie. He loves tickling you in all your 'ticklish' sphots until you scream with delight, and pretending to take all your treats (cake) away to eat for himself. You laugh and make the most ear piercing screams with joy. You just love it.

CSI-Case File No 4

For the evidence I have used a stamp (ink) as my wet medium, stripes on the ribbon, rhinestones and a metal embellishment as something reflective. For the testimony I focused on the the curiosity of my daughter when seeing these large thongs at White Water World.

CSI-Case File No 3

For the evidence I have used tags, sheer ribbon, a doily, he gold metallic element is the dimensional pearls I have used on the flourish and the circular elements are the pearls. For the testimony I have used a repetitive journalling on a series of tags.

CSI-Case File No 2

It has been awhile since I have actually added anything to my blog. I have however, done some challenges and am finally adding them here.

For the evidence I have used flowers, a fence for the architectural element, a transparency for the sheer element and a flourish. For the testimony I have gone with the good advice. Why make a resolution that we will never stick to. I really don't see the point. The journalling reads: Evry year someone will ask me 'What's your New Year Resolution?' My answer is always the same, 'I don't have one. If you don't make one, you can't break it'. Who ever really sticks to a New Years Resolution?

CSI - Case File No: 1

Well it has been ages since I last scrapped a page, so naturally nothing to post on my blog. My friend intorduced me to CSI and I thought it would be an opportunity to get motivated and find some inspiration.

Following the colour scheme, the evidence (elements) and the testimony (journalling), we had 'the mad hatter' photo as inspiration and had to document something mad, crazy or silly. I chose to use the photos I had taken on Christmas Eve of my daughter trying on all our silly Xmas hats. We seem to acquire a new one every year.
The elements I used were the bow, repeated stamp in the backgound (stars) and the lacy element (self made around border of circle). I enjoyed doing this layout and it actually motivated me to get a layout finished. Having a deadline sometimes helps...lol.

How Much Is Too Much - Challenge #177

This challenge was based around International Clown week and we were to use the following:

* 8 buttons ... check
* 1 flower ... check ( handmad by using Mother's Day Bouquet Cricut Cartridge)
* 11 different patterned papers .. tried the infamous stipes technique...lol
* one red circle (for the clown's nose) ... check...used it to highlight part of the title.
* Mist or paint .. check...misted the flower and the background paper.

Had fun creating this LO. The expression on Marnie's face when she got her face painted this particular day was awesome...she was so excited to have a swan and a rainbow. Isn't it wonderful that scrapbooking allows us to capture and record such beautiful memories which would normally be forgotten over time.

How Much Is Too Much - Challenge #175

Here in the U.S.A., we're celebrating our Independence Day. In honor of that, I'd like you to use
** elements that include STARS (embellishments, patterned paper, etc.) and STRIPES (ribbon, patterned paper, etc.)
** a flag or banner accent
** and to play off the date we're celebrating, July 4, 1776, use:


•7 - brads ... check
•4 - four-word title ... check (with a little help from Tracee)
•1 - photo
•7 - labels
•7 - seven-sentence journaling ...Hidden behind the photo on the tag.
•6 - patterned papers .. check
Note: Your page can be of any topic or theme--it doesn't have to be about 4th of July.

I know I missed the deadline for this one, but better late than never. Two sick kids and being sick myself did not help. Will try to be more organised this month. Well, that is the plan..lol.
