Here i am playing catch up again today!

This time I'm sharing my DT layout for CSI, case file number 42. It was my 2nd last case as a Detective (DT member) at CSI.

This is the gorgeous case file:

Now I have never really been a scrapper who uses sketches. But recently I have been a bit lacking in scrapping Mojo. Then last month at CSI we teamed up with OAUS and we scrapped our case files using sketches and WOW I loved it.

So for this layout I have used a sketch created by
the very talented Michele. Michele's blog is here, she has amazing sketches on there. Michele is a member of the CSI design team and designs all the downloadable co-ordinates for the CSI case files. She is uber talented!


Here is the gorgeous sketch, thanks Michele! :

Here is my DT example for the case file:

Notice the gorgeous Ah Scrap goodies I have used on there; 2 hat pins and a pinwheel.

Another post from me today!
I'm playing catch up.

I want to share my last case file as a Detective (DT member) at CSI.
My design term came to a close and i decided not to reapply for another term.
It was a very hard decision as CSI is an amazing place. The team I was designing with were incredible artists and Debbi runs everything so well. CSI helped my creative mojo when I needed it most, when I was grieving, the case files and the awesome journalling prompts really helped me to Scrap as therapy.

The new design team members and the old ones staying on have been announced here. What a talented team hey! I look forward to seeing all of their creations.

Here is case file 43.

For my evidence I used:
Frames
foliage
something transparent
flourishes
a black and white patterned paper
rub ons

For my testimony I used
Document a special event.
Tie two ideas together: Write what first comes to your mind about your subject. Then, choose a connective from this site and write what comes to mind next.
I chose the connective words: first, then and later.
I used one of the inspiration words; event.


On my layout I have used 4 gorgeous Ah Scrap goodies; a bottle cap, 2 buttons and a pinwheel. Make sure to pop on over here to get some of your own Ah Scrap embellishments.

Products used:
Bo bunny patterned paper
Amy tangerine patterned paper
Prima patterned paper
Tim holtz tissue tape
Kaiser rub ons
Typo washi tape
Sassafras alphas
American crafts alphas
Ah Scrap embellishments; bottle cap, buttons and pinwheel
Charms' creations page runner and lovely lollipops
D-lish scraps washi tape
Machine stitching
3d foam tape
