WooHoo!!! Special Investigator for CSI

 
   

As my post title tells you ...
I am very excited to be a 'Special Investigator' over at
                                              CSI                                                        
This weeks case #88 needs to be solved and looks like
                          
                             
This is how I solved it

 {2 Creative Souls}

I really enjoyed working with these colours and since my eldest son, Alex is in it, I felt it worked well. (Not too girlie!!)
Evidence-clock, book pages, flower pattern on the die cut leaves.
Testimony- Written on a tag on the back of layout. Young and in love, you both have a creative side and are both looking forward to welcoming your own special creation into the world early next year. I can't wait to watch you learn & grow and become the wonderful parents I know you will be.
Love forever Mum x

 I have used a new favourite die from SPELLBINDERS, a gorgeous window shutter from Scrapmatts and loads of lovely goodies from Craft Queen (which include the Prima button, wooden butterfly, the Prima stamp, under and above the photo and also the Collections cut out clock).

Also my usual machine stitching, some coffee marks and tangle of threads.

So..... if you need a mojo boost head on over to CSI.

Be sure to checkout all the DT creations as they are simply amazing!!!!

Cheers and Thanks for stopping

CSI #86 and First Ever Tutorial :)

Hi all,

Just a quick post today to show you a creation for CSI. This is a very inspirational site, I really enjoy it.
My #86

{Gift From Above}

Scheme- all colours
Evidence-art mediums, stripes, tie something.
Testimony- Handwritten Journaling.
Tag on back of layout reads- 1994 really had it's lows and highs. On January 23rd we welcomed into our lives a beautiful baby girl, Samantha Molly Ewins but at the same time my Mum was given only months to live due to Cancer. Samantha is wearing a special little dress hand picked by my Mother in this photo. The lord giveth and the lord taketh away. One of the toughest years of my life.

I've used Spellbinder Die, CW template, Prima mask, flowers, papercord, from Craft Queen. Lots of machine stitching, Collections butterfly brushed with Glimmer Glam.....cut up doily and then stretched it out straight.

Below is the criteria I used. I loved the softness of the colours.

 

Now one more thing I wanted to share is my FIRST EVER TUTORIAL

I was pleased with the results and I thank Helen from

  Scrap Around the World

for the offer of the first tutorial on her wonderful challenge site.

Take a look..........................

Thanks for Stopping 

Let me know you did

Cheers

September Scrap The Boys

Evening All....

So, the September Scrap the Boys challenge is quite simple
Outdoors Activity
(Think camping, fishing, sports, playgrounds..just as examples to get your MOJO flowing)

Easy peesy....and very do-able....

{Fishing}

I decided to do this layout of Rhys, fishing in Hiroshima, Japan. 

I have used a Darkroom Door stamp, Prima stamp, Spellbinder die and some cogs from Scrapmatts,  

which i have just inked, 

a mass of threads that had collected in my cotton container and....

some metal jewellery making links, the clock cut-out is from Collections and I have also splashed a little glimmermist around.

Studio Calico alpha stickers....

My Rhys is now home here with us....he returned home last Friday after spending almost a year studying in Hiroshima University.

So good to have him home safe and sound.

So you have until 30th September to upload your entry

Good-luck All

Cheers Kim
