Winter sun - CSI case file no. 343

I've been MIA for very long time, due to some health issues, but was able to make this layout for CSI Case File no. 343:

 

I used all 5 colors from the scheme. For my evidence I used: woodgrain background, winter-themed embellishments, snowflakes, lacing, string, wood, trees, hearts, tringles, chevrons and grid design (the blue paper for the matting has a gentle grid pattern).

I documented a boat sailing in Nantes, two years ago. It was freezing on the boat, but the winter sun poped here and there, and warmed us a little.

Here're some close-ups on the details:

Lovely Memory - CSI case file no. 336 November 1st

A new case file is up on CSI - case file no. 336, with beautiful photo inspiration and colors:

My inspiration came from the wall and the frames, and from this starting point I went on.

I used all 5 colors and from the evidence I used: stripes, wood plank background, floral pattern, frames, flowers, metal, something transparent (the black stickers) and cursive fonts.

The photo was taken on our last visit to Italy, we went to several countryside places, and this is one of them. I also framed my jouranaling.

Vacation - CSI case file no. 324

It's already July! and it's the 1st, so a new case file (challenge) is up at CSI:

This time we have a yummy case file, filled with beautiful colors of yellow, pink and pale blue.

I used my June mini counterfeit kit for this layout, with a self made yarn rainbow I made, following Rachel Lowe's tutorial, which you can find HERE.
From the clues, I used: woodgrain pattern and wood embellishment, pattern with multicolored small pattern against solid (the tiny hearts pp), gesso, flowers, metal, enamel dots, sprinkle something, stamps and using the same font in different colos.
For my testimony, I was inspired by the IW 'Dance' and wrote my journaling on a painted spot.
Here're some close ups on the details:

Free - CSI case file no. 309

Happy Saturday to all and look around - it's already February! which means - a new challenge at CSI - case file no. 309:

I fell in love with this case file - the colors, the inspiraion photo - everything.

I went 'old school' and used all the 5 colors. For the clues I used: tone-on-tone pattern (Lemoncraft paper), distressed pattern (7 Dots Studio paper), stripes and birds (the teal birds, made in paper piecing technique), musical elements (stickers), leaves and folwers (stamped and fussy cut), sunburst and stencil (to make the sunburst).

I used a quote from Leonard Cohen's song - 'Like a bird on a wire' (one of my all time fav songs), both for the title and for the journaling.

On the back of the layout, I wrote about what's happening in my life right now and how I react to it.

Here're some close ups on the details:

I've used many old letters stickers here.

Land that I love

Runner Up at More Than Words 

for September challenge

It was Election day this week here in Israel, so apart from voting, I celebrated the day off by making a layout with an inspiration so matching the day.

The current challenge at More Than Words challenge blog is 'Origin plus colors of your country's flag'.

I was born and raised in Israel. this is my homeland, land that I love.

Our flag's colors are blue and white, and the design of the flag is inspired by the Talit design - stripes at the edges and Magen David (star of David) in the middle. I used these elements in my layout.

I used a photo of David's tower in Jerusalem, this is one of Israel's most famous sights.

I was also inspired by the current challenge at Creative Embellishments 

Mostly by the hues of blue in the tubes. I also used some flairs (some of CE) for the twist of a circular element. The flourish chipboards are also of CE.

To color the chipboards, I use Lindy's Gang embossing powders (Midnight Copper, Madonna Robe Blue Gold and Desert Moon Turquoise).

The Magen David is made by two opposite triangles, so I used 7 Dots Studio stamp of triangles (Dreamscapes), heat embossed with Lindy's ep (Purely White).

Some of the stamps on the background are  49 and Market (Pascale's Grammer). The flowers are all 49 and Market (Blossom Blends Cotton, Blossom Blends Sea Breeze, Vintage Shades Potpouri blue and cotton).

Inks are TH tea dye distress ink, and Ranger's archival inks sepia and jet black).

Papers are 13Arts, Mintay Papers, Fancy Pants and Craft O'clock - all from my September Counterfeit Kit (and so are CE flairs)

Mediums - Finnabair's gesso, clear and white.

Fly Away - September's Counterfeit Kit

Once again I'm playing with Counterfeit Kit, which have a special kit for this month, designed just for the blog, by Secret Not Secret Kit Club. Here's the inspiration kit:

I really loved it! finally a masculine kit :).

As usuall, I started by the colors, then the patterns and other items that my eyes were drawn to (like the white doodled ellipses on a gray paper, and the paper with the pine trees).

I decided that I MUST include some old papers and items in my kit in order to de-stash, along with more new papers/ items.

So here's my 'Fly Away' kit:

Papers side A:

Papers side B:

Add on papers side A:

Add on papers side B:

Embellishments:

I counterfeited the trees paper using Deep Red rubber stamp with different inks, I made a 7X5 kraft paper with cameras, using a Jillibean's stamp and embossing it with Lindy's ep.

Next I die cut some words from foam, and 2 others from a heavy wheight black cs, and then heat embossed it with a dark blue shiny Lindy's ep.  I also made my own doodled ellipses:

I also die cut some stars, tags, arrows, and made some 'tickets'.

I didn't include cs, stamps, mixed media products and stencils, as I will use them anyway along the way.

I already have some project in mind to use with my kit, so stay tuned....
