CSI: 113 - Funky Whanau

I just loved these colours this week, there is something about pink/aqua/grey, that just makes scrapping a breeze!!!  I am demonstrating on 29/03/14 at Spotlight Wairau, so I chose to use products from there as well as fitting it into the colour schemes for CSI.  This is the case file for the week:

CKCB Challenge #3 February 2014

Over at CKCB, challenge number 3 was to make a card (or something) in 10 minutes.  I had a go, and with an idea in my head from 2 peas, my kit for February, and a friend to keep me honest (and take photos!)

Proof that I was timing myself!

Stuffing a clear cellophane bag with a 6 x 4 cardstock and pretty sequins

Sewing the top of bag closed, and around the edge of the bag

Time check - Pretty quick!

Tying bakers twine around the bag (after matting on red cardstock)

Another time check after putting DST on back

Putting on the front card

A bit of washi and its nearly done

added a heart and some gems, and it was all done - with time to spare!

CSI: 110 - I am Sam

I just loved the simplicity of this weeks case:


and I just adored the sketch - I hope that I have done it justice!

Here is how I solved case 110:
Scheme - the colours are all there
Evidence – pet accents, feather (fibres), ribbon, solid background, something sheer, jewels

Testimony – Journal about a pet and tell the story from your pet’s point of view.  IW:  style, fancy hope.  “Hi there!  My owners call me Samson Stinky West, but I prefer if you call me good boy!  I live in a house with my two meowing puppies and masters and my three miniature food holders.  I love it when other food holders come into the house and bark to let everyone know that someone is here to see me WOOF!  I am not a fancy dog breed, but the evil stabbing man said that I am a Jack Russell, Kelpie cross – not sure what that means, but my master says I am very clever and full of energy.  My master grooms me, and makes sure my fur style is trendy.  I love to steal food from the kitchen, and prefer to drink from the white porcelain bowl.  Thinking of food, I hope I can get some soon…”

CSI: 109 - Little Pigs

Here is the challenge for the week from CSI:


I was a little bit nervous to be using such bright colours, but I really love how this turned out:

Here is how I solved case 109:
Scheme - the colours are all there
Evidence – Book pages, silver accents, birds, stack something, use heat, textured paper, greenery

Testimony – IW:  read, life, simple.  “Riley loves his bed time story.  At the moment his favourite is The Three Little Pigs.  I love that he has a favourite as it makes life simple to not have to choose a story every night – he just grabs the book and hops straight into bed.  I just love to read this story to him, and I use different voices as the narrator, the wolf and the piggies.  Riley adds in lines from the story and is great at huffing and puffing!  Last night we got to the first little pig and Riley told me, “if I lived there, I would let the wolf in…” I explained to him, “but sweetie, the wolf wants to EAT the piggy”  I will never forget the look on his face when he asked me, “Wolves don’t eat kids though… Aye Mummy?”  I smiled and said, “No, honey, wolves don’t eat kids”.  Luckily he hasn't heard the story of the boy who cried wolf!
