CSI Case File # 49

Well,  I've been at it again.  I have completed CSI Case File # 49  - just in time!  I don't usually scrap this much, but I have been enjoying it.


This is the Case File, found  at http://csicolorstoriesinspiration.ning.com/forum/topics/case-file-no-49-case-closes-on-december-16-2012

and here is the layout I completed:

 

I am really digging into the old photos for these challenges!  This is Alyssa's first Santa photo and she is 13 now!  Once again I have used bits and pieces from my scraps, the CSI coordinates and a few other bits and pieces.  I really love how CSI give you co-ordinates that you can print out and use for your layouts.

 

Now on to Case File # 50.  Hope I get time to finish this one this week, but  we do finish up work on Friday for 3 weeks, I should be able to.  But the trouble is then there will be Case # 51 and then # 52.  Think I might have to have a break, especially as I am going away for 2 weeks.

 

Looking forward to visiting my daughter and her 2 children and also my son and his lovely wife.

Poor DH has to stay home and look after the animals!  He will go away and visit our son and his family once I come home and am back at work.  One day we will be able to take a holiday together.  The cost of having the animals boarded is so prohibitive.  Just one more reason why I didn't want another dog!  We wouldn't be without him now, but still...

 

 

 



 

 

 

CSI Case File # 48

Third time lucky?

I have tried to post this twice already and it just disappears on me!

So - I have just completed my first LO with one of the CSI case files!  I am thrilled.

I was bemoaning that my mojo had disappeared and along came the new CSI case file.  I looked at it, looked through my photos, looked through my stash to match up the colours as best as I could, found a sketch, printed out some of the coordinates and before you know it, I had a LO!

The photos are quite old - my grandson, who is the star of the show, is 10 this week!

I took poetic licence with the sketch:

And here is my layout:

The evidence:  Clock, transparent element (which is also the clock - two for the price of one!) and also silver metallic element, which is the tag.  The tag says Sunshine and has been in my stash for a long time!  :-)  Some of the papers have been in my stash for a long time too.  The background paper is showing up as blue, but it really is more of a grey, which is one of the colour elements.

The testimony:  Glossy brad bullets - I cheated here a bit - I dimensional magiced the dot points on the tag.  Not sure if the brads count here.
Also recipe journalling - I listed what was on top of Thomas' icecream.

So there we have it.  I can't say I am in love with the LO, but hey, I scrapped!

Thanks for looking. xx
