Case File 201 - Little Moments Big Memories

Hi There,

I have another Case File to share with you

from CSI: Color Stories Inspiration.

I used a photo of my puppy Teddy.

He is completely black and so hard to take a pic of.

I used all the colors from the Case File.

My evidence is:  Diamond Shapes (in the patterned paper), Triangles and Stripes.

My Testimony is:  Document Something about your Pet.

Here are some close-ups:

Here is what the case file looks like:

Why not head over to CSI: Color Stories Inspiration

Smile & Be Happy

Hi There!!

I am once again super excited to be a part of the 
Clique Kits Blog Hop.

You should have just come from the lovely 
Stephanie Kisewetter.

Today I am sharing a couple of crafty creations
made using the "Northern Lights" Kit.

I enjoyed getting a little messy with this layout.

I used a Precious Remembrance Shop stamp that I purchased from the Clique Shop.  

I think I love it a lot!

Here are some close-ups:

So many fun things to play with in this kit.

I used a White Posca Pen to journal and create a border.

I also made a card with some of the leftovers from the kit.

I couldn't not use that feather paper, I love it.

I made my own feathers out of the paper from the kit as well.

Scrap Your Heart Out YouTube Hop

Hi There,

Welcome to the Scrap You Heart Out YouTube Hop.

Here is a layout I created using last month's 

Clique Kit - "Origins".

I had so much fun creating this layout.

I love how it turned out.

And the colors in this collection

from Simple Stories just make me happy.

I took this photo of my eldest Jackson & I today.

In Australia, it is Mother's Day, so Happy Mothers Day to all.

Here are some close-ups:

I honestly feel like every Clique Kit is made for me.

Everything in one kit to make the perfect layouts or cards.

Love these stars!!

These paper rolls are super easy.

Watch my video below to see how I created this layout.

I want to say a massive thank you to Erica Rose

Case File 199 - #selfie

Hi There,

Time for another Case File from CSI: Color Stories Inspiration.

This week it is Case File 199.

Here is my take on the case file.

I loved the colors in this case file.

I decided to do something different and scrap myself.

So I got my instax polaroid camera out, and took a selfie.

#no-make-up!

My Evidence is: Frame, Flowers and Camera.

My Testimony is:  Frame Your Journaling.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Case File 197 - Remember Life Is Precious

Hey There,

Today's release of Case File 197 for 

CSI: Color Stories Inspiration

is a really special one for me as I have created a

layout that is a picture of myself and my beautiful friend Prue.

She passed away a few weeks ago and I wanted

to create something special to document our friendship.

My Evidence is: Chalkboard Elements, Flowers and a Bicycle.

My Testimony is:  Get Inspiration from Easy Street Prompts and my word was CROSSROADS.

Here is my journaling, which is hidden on a tag behind the photo mat:  "My beautiful precious Prue.  You were an inspiration to so many people.  You were infectious.  It was a perfectly timed CROSSROADS that had us meet and become friends.  Friends that laughed, cried, and hugged.  My life has been blessed to have known you, my very own angel.xx"

Here are some close-ups:

I used chalkboard paint for the border of this page and then a white marker over the top.

I don't always have the opportunity to use flowers, but these colors together are so pretty.

I was so in love with this bicycle from Prima I have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to use it.

I used Shimmerz Dazzelerz - Licorice Stick and a stencil to create the crosses in the background.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Building Sandcastles

Hi There,

I hope you are all enjoying your Easter Holidays.

I just love not having to pack lunches.

It's the simple things really.

Today I would like to share with you a layout I created

using Shimmerz Paints.

I love the colors in this layout and how it turned out.

I used the Kaisercraft Coastal Escape Collection.

And real shells from our trip to the beach.

I don't usually use flowers on a boys layout, but I love the result.

The Shimmerz Products I used are:

Shimmerz - Orange Sherbet

Shimmerz - Blue Grass

Shimmerz Spritz - Rock-a-fella Blue

Here is a process video for you to watch!

Thanks so much for stopping by. xx

CSI Case File 194 - Monster Truck Kid

Hey There Friends,

Today I am sharing with you a layout I created

using CSI: Color Stories Inspiration

Case File 194.

This pic is from a camping trip with our friends.

We took a box of Monster Trucks for our boys to play with.

Our friends boy, Denzel, loved them.

They were never out of his hand.

My Evidence is:  Stars, Cars (The Monster Truck), Something Loopy (the doodled circles) and Numbers.

My Testimony is:  Journal about a favourite toy or game.

Here are some close-ups:

I used a silhouette file for the Monster Truck.

I also used a real Monster Truck to stamp the tyre tracks onto the page.  Was so happy with how that turned out.

Here is what the Case File looks like.

You can always give this sketch a go too.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
