CSI Case File No. 195

Hello everyone

Wow, time really flies when you have fun. So yes, I have been a bit quiet of late but I've been very busy behind the scenes and I promise to make up for it in April so please stay tuned for more details in a week or so.

So today, I'd like to share my take on Case File 195 on the Colour Stories Inspiration (CSI)'s Blog. I love doing CSI challenges because they guide your thinking and challenge you to go a little out of your comfort zone.

 I'm sure you have had days where you craved being creative, but once you sit down you have no idea which supplies to use, which colours or what photos you want to use. (I know, I certainly have had many of those days  before I discovered the world of online blogs and CSI.) So no more indecisiveness, just follow the prompts and create your layout to suit. There are so many ways to interpret them, just check out the work of my fellow design team members and you will see what I mean. So just give it a go and I'm sure you will love them too.

My take on the challenge

The Case file

How to play along:



Tip: Here is how I used it:

I used all colours and used the sage (lightest green) as my background.
Clues or Evidence elements: tiny brads, twine, flowers and a butterfly (animal).
Journaling: "yeah" this reminded me of our fabulous honeymoon in Penang, 2004.

Well I hope you all enjoyed this case file and really hope to see your take on the challenge in the online gallery. Visit us at http://csicolorstoriesinspiration.ning.com/ to play along and upload your layout to the gallary for a chance to win a fabulous prize.

Till next time, have fun.

Inspiration Board Challenge 1


Hi Everyone

I am very excited to share my take on Scrapbook Creations Magazine's first Inspiration Board Challenge (December 2013). I just loved the colours and could not wait to get started. However, that was not until the Christmas break. The colours of this Board inspired me with happiness, peace, tranquillity. To suit the mood I used this dreamlike photo of myself, which almost gives you the idea that I'm staring into the future.






Detail images of this layout:

The Title:
All words were painted in white and covered with white glitter. To embellish it I have added small acetate butterflies which I created, using Cheery Lynn Designs small butterfly dies and Ranger Ice Stickles.



Butterflies: 
All the butterflies on this layout, except the big gold one at the bottom were handmade using Cheery Lynn Designs dies, Ranger Ice Stickles and Ranger Liquid Pearls.


Flower Detail:
Here I handmade the 3 metal flowers in the centre by using empty soft drink cans, Courture Creation's Frellis Embossing Folder and Tim Holtz Tattered Flowers die.
