CSI Case Challenge 137

Hello,

So I joined this online Scrapbook challenge run by CSI (Colour Stories Inspiration) and today I completed my first challenge for CSI....

I did find it a bit of a challenge because I hadn't worked within defined parameters before....so it took me a while to finally decide what I wanted to do....
What I did like is that  the challenge forced me to work with the given set of criteria yet still gave me the freedom to create something I had never created before...so I guess it was good exercise.....

Every Friday a new challenge is announced and you have 1 week to provide your evidence for the challenge.


Below is the image of Case file 137 which lists what needs to be included in your design....all colours have to be used but the evidence and testimony is a choice of minimum of 2 and 1 respectively...
Full details for every case file can be found on the CSI site....


So after all my deliberation at the start, here's my evidence for this case file....




This is a really fun way to scrapbook and hopefully I will get better with each new challenge....
Cannot wait to get started on Case File 138....

If you like a challenge....go check it out....you might enjoy it!

Art Journalling by Accident

Image
So, I hadn't heard about Art Journalling until December last year... Every time I would go to the store and get new 'stuff', I would come home and experiment with it in a book that I used specifically for that purpose... So I ended up with a book full of lovely and not so lovely backgrounds... I was looking around on YouTube to figure out how I can bring mixed media to my scrapbooks without impacting my photo's....when  I discovered Art Journalling by accident...one of those 'good' accidents... I was so excited that I could use this book to make awesome artwork that I dropped everything and immediately turned to Art Journalling... I started adding some journalling to my already prepared backgrounds....some I had to add extra elements such as paper to cover up the mess...but most pages, I used as is.... One of the experiment backgrounds before I did anything to it! It was fun and I was loving every minute of it! The first ever 'true...

Altered Shoe Swap

Image
Hello again, Every month I tell myself that it's the last swap I will be participating in so I can do some of my other projects...and every time, the hostesses at MyScrapRoom.ning.com (MSR) add these really awesome challenges that just call to me...and then how can I say no?  So yet again....I signed up for one of the challenges at MSR hosted by the lovely Jessica... She  had the Altered category and set us the challenge to alter a shoe using bling, flowers and lace... My swap partner, Samantha, gave me some her likes...she wanted something edgy, black, red, skulls, etc. I must admit, this did take me way out of my comfort zone some...but I thoroughly enjoyed making the pencil holder for her from a shoe I had bought from a Charity shop.  I first painted the entire shoe with black gesso before I covered t he bottom and inner soles of the shoe with red rose floral paper. I trimmed down kitchen towel inners to form the holders for the pencils or whatever else she w...

Baby, it's cold outside

Hello again, So it's been a while since I shared some of my creative spirit with you....but that doesn't mean that I haven't been creating... On the contrary, I've been doing all sorts of stuff...and learning new things in the process.... Today I share my take on CSI Case Challenge 222 ... The challenge was to create a scrapbook layout using the following image and prompts as inspiration... The Scheme: Used all 5 colours for the scheme...  Evidence: The  proof  is in the pudding... My evidence to solve this case includes: Floral patterns - I used the Tim Holtz poinsettias stencil and frantaged with shabby blue embossing enamel  Flowers Fabric Ribbon Snowflakes Jewels/pearls Testimony: For my journalling, I decided to use the writing format clue of the haiku idea....not only because I love poetry but also because it is a poetic form I've never been exposed to before....so it was a bit of a challenge for me... So haiku is Jap...
