CSI - 97 - Spring BBQ



Here is how I solved case 97:
Scheme - the colours are all there (a little bit off this week)
Evidence – Leaves, wood, dry embossing, chevron pattern, Diamond shapes, something shiny.

Testimony – Be inspired by Chedder X (What do you look forward to in spring?  Repetition.  Spread journaling over the page.  IW: Bright and Living: “Every spring, we go to Brenda’s house for a BBQ.  It signifies the end of spring and getting ready for summer living, beach trips, BBQ’s and bright sunny days.  We look forward to this BBQ, with the girls playing in the yard with all the other kids.
Sketch used.

CSI - 96 All Hallows Eve



This was an interesting page to do, it took me a while to get it just the way I wanted it to be.  So cool that the colours were the ones we had in our 2013 Halloween photos!

CSI - 95 - blue eyes





Woooooooho!!!  CSI have the blues this week!  As this is one of my favourite colours, I put this page together in 2 hours as it was easy to find the 'right' elements!
95 - blue eyes
Here is how I solved case 95:

Evidence – Paint, distressing, wood, flower, book page, tie something, metal and tearing.
Testimony – IW: study and old; “At nearly five months old, Riley has the most amazing blue eyes! I just study them for hours... 29 April 2010”

Quick, easy and to the point!!!

Little Girl Birthday Card

I went to the local craft show, and amongst all the normal stuff, I managed to find a stamp that I have wanted for a while.  She is a little girl, opening hat boxes and she is super cute!

She was just what I wanted to make a card for a little 2 year old!  I am still loving my Spectrum Noir Pens, and having heaps of fun colouring each stamped image to be and individual creation for each card.

The lacy circle die set the colouring off and a little bit MORE than the usual scalloped circle I would use.

I find it really hard to get a nice shade of pink when it comes to colour matching for pink paper and pink cardstock, so I was feeling particularly happy with this one.

CSI - 94 - spooky party


Here is how I solved case 94




So here is the challenge for the week, and when I saw the colours I thought I would use the photos from Katies birthday party last year!

This was definitely a Halloween inspired colour scheme!
94 - spooky party
Scheme - the colours are all there
Evidence – Cat Accent, Something Furry (cat made from felt), book pages, stacked items, Black Background, Silver metal, wood & woodgrain.
Testimony – Typewriter font and Journal as a poem.  IW: end, bold, laugh; “I thought it really was quite bold, when you turned seven years old.  You wanted a party designed to fright, so we made it like Halloween night.  We had a laugh – we had a scare, with all your friends in spooky gear.  What a lovely end to being six, with frightfully more treats than tricks.”
