CSI 217

Wow.......

Alicia at Scrapbook Fantasies is luck enough to be a sponsor of the great challenge at CSI. Back in November  the people at CSI asked if her design team would like to be guest detectives for the months challenge. She happily said yes.

So here is the Case  
The idea is that using the sketch and the picture for inspiration you scrap a page using only the colours listed, 3 or more from the evidence list and a prompt from the testimony.

So here is my page.......




Now for some closeups of the page ..........








Lastly this is the sketch that was used...........




Hope you all liked this page as much as I do......

Super Saturday

Hi all......

Yes I'm back with another post so quickly but I have to tell you all about my night last night..... 

At my favorite scrapbook shop (Scrapbook Fantasies) they hold, once a month, a crop night from 7 to midnight. It's a great night where everyone brings their own creative stuff...... Last night we had ladies working on canvases and cards along side other ladies Scrapbooking. It was a great night with Alicia baking a very yummy Chocolate and Pecan torte.

I helped my mum (a card maker) finish of some cards for her to take to the Shell Show in Sydney next month. Then I made two quick pages using a $5 scrap pack and 2 peices of card stock.





They are both old photos of my mum before she got married.

I hope you like these quick pages, I will post some of the others I have made with these packs next week.....

Happy Sunday
