The Bats Whisperer- CSI case file no. 295

Mid September and it's time for a new case file at CSI - case file no. 295:

I was inspired by the color scheme, and did my layout in a free style, so I didn't follow the evidence and testimony.
My layout is also in a bold look, not like the inspiration photo.
I used my September Counterfeit kit for this layout, with some of my handmade embellishments.
When my youngest and I were on a visit at London 4 years ago, we saw some artificial bats hanging from the trees. We really liked it and my son started 'whispering' to the bats. It was so funny to see him doing this.
Here're some close-ups on the details:

So Fab - June Counterfeit Kit Challenge

June counterfeit kit challenge is based on May 2019 Hip Kit Club:

I was inspired by some of the colors, the whimsical feeling, and by some of the patterns (florals, stripes, watercolor strokes). I also wanted to use 6x6 papers and scraps I've had for very long time.

So here's my kit - So Fab:

And now let's have a look into the kit:

First - 12 x 12 papers:

Add on - papers - craps and 6 x6 papers:

Embellishmet - lots of stickers, tags, ephemera, journaling cards:

And I also counterfeited some of the items in the inspiration kit - I've made a vellum paper with gold embossing:

Some beautiful bows and tabs from pp:

 tags, labels and circles:

foam embellies, this is my fav on this kit - I stamped on a white thin foam, and backed it with double sided tape, and so I have my own 'puffy' embellies:

I made some watercolor style strokes, and two rainbows, using some Lindy's Gang sprays on a watercolor paper, and also made some vellum phrases, using Lindy's embossing powders:

And here's my full kit, all packed and ready to use (I sneaked in some enamel dots and washi tapes):

I'm already working on my first project from this kit, and hope to finish it no later then Sunday :).

A mini album for a sweet girl - Altair Art DT assignment

Hello dear crafty friends,

Today it's my turn on the Altair Art blog, and I share a mini album I've made for a very sweet girl, who turned 12 years lately.

All the patterned papers I've used are from Altair Art (full list is in the end of this post).

The mini album measurements are 4.5" X 6.5" X 2.5", it has 5 pages and can hold more than 30 photos.

I have lots of flaps, inserts, mini booklets and a pocket.

I've use my Feb Counterfeit Kit for this album.

For the decoration I've used Lindy's Gang sprays, magical shaker and embossing powder (Alpine Ice Rose Pink spray and shaker, Chateau Rose, Wild Honeysuckle Coral, Aloha Avocado, Cotton Candy Pink, Oom Pah Pah Pink ep and Whale Watch Blue).

I also used some Robin's Nest dew drops, and DIY enamel dots, wood veneers, I am Roses flowers (7 different flowers on the front cover), foam die-cuts and fussy cut butterflies from Altair Art papers.

Here are the spreads and some close-ups:

I would like to enter this mini album to the flollowing challenges:

A Postcard from Paris - February Counterfiet Kit

I'm playing again with the Counterfeit Kit Challenge. The inspiration kit for this month is 'Weekend in Paris' by Noel Mignon:

It's a very rich and luxurious kit, jam packed with lots of beautiful pp and embellishments, all in soft colors.

I have ton of photos from our journey to Paris, so the theme was perfect for me. I named my kit 'A Postcard from Paris'.

At first, I thought it's going to be a tough mission for me to counterfeit this kit, but let me take you through my process.

The first thing I was attracted to was the black/white bows, so I made 1 large bow and 2 small ones:

Then I picked the cardstocks, in matching colors to the inspiration kit.

The next stage was going through my endless pp, and I just couldn't stop adding more and more beautiful papers.

I just got my DT package from Altair Art, and it is full of beautiful papers! So naturally I've put some to these papers to my kit. I added 7 Dots Studio papers, Prima papers, Lemoncraft papers, and Blue Fern Studios papers. 

So this is how the papers in my kit look:

Now it was the alphas turn, but I couldn't resist adding some 6x6 pp too, once again from Altair Art and 7 Dots Studio:

Then came the fun part - gathering the embellishments!

Lace, flowers, flair buttons, crystals, die cuts, Robin's Nest dew drops, wood embellishments, pom pom trims, crochet flowers, baker's twine, washi tapes, DIY enamel dots, resin embellishments, chipboards, rub-ons, stickers, and gold sequins. I didn't have any puffy stickers, so I counterfieted them by die cutting some foam with words dies.

And some close-ups:

Since my table was still ful with beautiful papers and embellishments, and I just couldn't put them back, I've made an Add-ons kit:

I'm not sure I will actually use all of the content of my kit this month, but I had so much fun gathering it and I will sure try to use up as much as possible.

I'm already working on a project, using this kit, so please stay tuned...
