Believe in Magic - CSI case file no. 255

Happy Friday dear crafty friends,

It's a new month so there's a new challenge at CSI - case file no. 255:

At first I was inspired by the girl's dress. It reminded me the Princess' dress at Disneyland Paris. We went there on April 2016.

I let my self be a little girl again, and I went to meet the princess :).

My clues to solve the case were: solid white background, stripes and dots (the stencil in the background), glitter, texture paste heat embossing (the chipboard title), people embellishments (the tags with the vintage ladies), stars (on the title).

I added my journaling on the circular part of the small doilies, and it says: "Being a little girl again, believing in Princesses and delighted to meet one of them. Disneyland Paris, April 2016".

I've used Maja Design papers, from the 'Vingage Autumn' collection.

Lots of mixed media here - 

Finnabair products: white and clear gesso, soft matte gel, heavy body gel, mini art stones, texture paste white.

Lindy's Gang products: Sassy Sapphire shimmer, Sweet Violet Purple Teal, Pop Rock Purple flat fabio, Desert Moon Turqouise embossing powder.

Other products: Scrapiniec chipboard, I am Roses flowers, Kaisercraft stamps, TanySol doily die, Memnto Teal Zeel ink.

Here are some close-ups to the details:

I would like to enter it to the challenge at Mixed Media & Art, with this beautiful moodboard:

I really love this color combo!

Also for the 'Anything Goes challenge at SimonSays Wednesday challenge and the 'Stencil it' challenge at A vintage Journey blog (my layout is some shabby chic mixed media style)

Thank you for taking the time and visiting my blog. I appreciate your comments very much.

A Quill - Stuck?! Sketches March 15th reveal plus case file no. 250 at CSI

It's March 15th, and you know what it means - a new sketch challenge at Stuck?! Sketches PLUS a new case file (challenge) at CSI!

Once again I combined those two awesome challenge into one layout.

But first take a look at the fab sketch made by Laura Whitaker:

And case file no. 250:

I've used all the 5 colors from the scheme, and my clues to solve the case were:

Solid cardstock, scallops, clouds, flowers, twine (also tied in a knot), stamping.

For the testimony I've placed my journaling on the labels and I documented a childhood memory (my boys' childhood), from a tour we've had in a nature center at Ramon Crater.

I've used my March counterfeit kit (I'm a guest desienger there for March).

Here are some close-ups on the details:

A card - Birthday Wishes

My cards box got quite empty, so I decided to make some cards to re-fill it.

This is one of the cards I've made, using Maja Design papers (Vintage Romance + Vintage Autumn collections).

I don't use purple very often, as a matter of fact - I hardly use it, but I was so inspired by the current moodboard at Maja Design, so I had to give it a try. Here's the Maja Design moodboard:

I've added some velum, on one of the layers of pp and wrapped the sentiment with the vellum, which made it muted a little.

The I am Roses flowers were colored with Lindy's Gang spray - Pop Rock Purple, and so was the stars chipboard (Scrapiniec). After I colored the chipboard with the spray, I heat embossed it with Lindy's embossing powder - Silver Moon Sapphire. I love how it turned out. 

I've layered the flowers on some lace leaves and then added some splatters with Lindy's purple spray and with the Creme Brulee Cream spray.

The final touches were adding purploe glitter to the lady's hat, to the flowers and here and there on the pp, then some Robin's Nest purple mini Dew Drops, and my card is done!

Here're some close-ups:

I'm entering this card to the following challenges:

Maja Designs - January moodboard
More Than Words - mini challenge - 'wish'

January IAR challenge - anything goes

Scrapki-Wyzwaniowo - vellum

Creative embellishments- moodboard:

I was attracted to the celebration theme on this moodboard.

Chocolate Six - for CSI case file no. 241

 Hello everyone :),

Sharing my take on case file no. 241 at CSI:

This is how I've solved the case:

Sketch - checked.

Scheme - I've used all 5 colors. The background pp is LemonCraft 'Heart Painted 2', and all the other pp are Scrapberry's 'Yummy' collection. The colors of this collection were just perfect for this challenge, and I only added a brown cs as matting.

Evidence - hearts, stars, chevron arrows, vellum (underneath the title), and woodgrain pp.

Testimony - I've added stars to my journaling spot, which is the hidden tag.  I documented an event of when my eldest arranged a fun game for his brother's birthday. It was an assignment he got as part of his Bar Mitzva year, and we all had such laughs and fun. On the back side of the tag, I wrote the game's rules.

Here are some close-ups on the details:

I would like to enter this layout to the 'Food/Drinks' challenge at Simonsays Stamp Wednesday challenge.

Thak you for visiting my blog. I appreciate your comments very much.
