*Major Case File #225 Solved* CSI & Scrapmatts



Well, SCRAPMATTS design team have been assigned to solve a Major Case File,
over at CSI!
 
Major Case File #225 looks a little like this!
 

It's a great case & along with 'Nifty Pixel' sketch it's a whole lot of goodness!

Here is how I solved Case #225 
Major Case File #225
 
Colour Scheme: All colours used.
Evidence: Stars, bunting, circles, wings
Testimony: Inspiration words-fly. My title 'Time to Fly the Nest'. (Journaling on back of layout).
After 18 years & 6 months of having you tucked safely under our wings, the time has come to let you fly! On the 5th of February, 2017 we drove you to your new home,UC Lodge at The University of Canberra. Studying for a Bachelor of Medical Science. We are so very proud of you Madi and miss you like crazy!


Products Used:

Scrapmatts have an amazing range of chipboard & a great range of Stencils.
If you get a chance check them out!!!


To create the word 'fly' I have used the very versatile Alphabet Stencil and paint.
I use this stencil a lot with my creating.....this way I can create whatever title I like!
 

I hope you have enjoyed looking at my layout as much as I enjoyed playing along with this case from
CSI
A few years ago I was a DT member of CSI and always enjoyed solving the cases......why don't you try and solve case#225 and get your special moments scrapped?
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Creating for Craft Queen




Fancy that!
I actually made it back within the week to add a new post!

Today I wanted to share with you all a layout I have created using 
awesome products from
Boutique Craft Supplies


Nicole has an amazing supply of stunning products
(You should pop on over & have a look through her online store).
Here is my latest layout.

 I have used the 



I simply stamped lots of the Darkroom Door Fine Flowers on my base, then I stamped some onto some cardstock & fussy cut these out. Using the distress ink I added some colour to my base & to the flowers.
Added the Stripe Ribbon (which is one of my Fav's), tried a pretty bow using the Satin Seam Binding, created a few flower buds using the Satin Seam Binding & stuck these in place along with a few buttons and that gorgeous Bronze Deer Head. Lastly I hand drew the border around the outside & dabbed a little texture paste here & there!!!

 I am totally in love with this stamp set!!!!

Big thank you to little miss Ayva & her Mummy, Sarah for this gorgeous photo!

Here are a few cards I have designed using the same stamp set!


Thanks so much for stopping by
I do hope you like my creations!

Love & Hugs
