Dinner for 3 - CSI case file #132

So long since I blogged... first we moved to a new home and settling down took much longer than I thought, and then the so sad issue with the kidnapped/murdered boys and on top - this on going war here. My mojo left me and my mind is so distracted that I have very little energy for scrapping.

Anyway, a new case file is up at CSI, case file #132:

And this is my take on this case file:

My clues to solve the case were:

Scheme - all colors are here.

Evidence - punches, leaves, pouring something (lots of gesso, mists and embossing powder).

Testimony - my journaling is about a dinner my oldest made for the 3 of us, all by himself, as part of his Bar Mitzva year assignments: "As part of your Bar Mitzva year, you were responsible to make a dinner for the 3 of us, and you did it all by yourself - from planning the menu, buing the products and preparing the food. it was a very delicious dinner and you were so proud of your self, and you really should be. March 2014".

I used the July sketch from Once Upon A..Sketch:

I used StudioFourteen40' flairs (the Hamptons set 1 and celebration brights set 2)  and Manor House flowers.

Here are some close-ups on the details:

What is CSI for me - AFSC June 1st reveal plus case #124 at CSI

We have a new challenge for you at Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge:  what is you favorite pastime on your computer. For a very long time I was simply  stumped by this challenge, and didn't really know what am I going to make for this one. Once again our team leader at AFSC, Anne, came with gorgeous ideas, and bingo!, I had an idea - my all time fav challenge site - Color, Stories, Inspiration, aka CSI!! 

The color palette of case file #124 was also very challenging for me - so girly :), so it was a perfect match - a challenging theme with a challenging color combo.

Here's case file #124:

And so I've made a layout about 'what is CSI for me'. I printed CSI's banner, with a little bokeh effect (not well seen on the photo), and gathered supplies in the palette colors, and this is what I came up with:

This is how I solved the case:
Scheme - all 5 colros are here.
Evidence - butterlies, flowers, glitter, wings, stars, plaid pattern, swirls, tiny brads, bokeh photo effect.
Testimony - I wrote 7 facts (fun? sure fun!) about my topic:
1. Anticipating every Friday eve for the new case file reveal.
2. Meeting new on-line friends.
3. A great combo of colors, elemnts and journaling.
4. Makes me think out side of the box, getting out of my comfort zone.
5. Enriches my creativity.
6. A source of inspiration.
7. A warm and friendly community.
I used StudioFourteen40's flair (brights set 6)
Here are some close-ups on the details:

Now it's your turn to show us what is YOUR fav pastime on your computer.

Practicing Yoga in Nature - May 15th reveal at Stuck?!

May 15th is the day for a new sketch at Stuck?! Sketches, drawn by Laura Whitaker:

And this is my take on the sketch, with photos of my oldest practicing yoga in nature, with my SIL.

I used Simple Stories papers, mostly from DIY Boutique collection, wish some scraps from I {heart} Summer collection. I also used two StudioFourteen40's flairs (Joyride set 2 & Thrift Shop set 7).
I took inspiration from the colorful and cheerful moodboard at Sassy Scrapper:

I would like to enter the lo to May challenge at Scrap Our Stash: something old (the sequins and the alphas are much more than 6 months with me...), something new (the Simple Stories papers and the StudioFourteen40's embellies are very new), some fussy cut (the blueish flower and the squared frame were cut from  Simple Stories papers), something blue (on the pp, my boy's shirt on the photos).
I would like to enter it to the contest at Paper Issues, for the Simple Stories products.

Here are some close-ups on the details:

Teamwork - Stuck?! April 15th reveal

April 15th sketch at Stuck?! is up and this is my take on it. Here's the awesome sketch that Laura Whitaker made for us:

It's another lo made with my April counterfeit kit, and I used some of StudioFourteen40 goodies I recieved. I used Bitz of Glitz True golden sequins,  Thrift Shop set 4; and The Hamptons set 2.

I would like to enter it to the contest at Paper Issues, for the summer theme.
Here are some close-ups on the details:

Never Say Never

Normally, I don't do purple. don't know exactly why, but I just don't do purple, especially if it's the predominant color, but then 'never say never' :) 

When I saw this month's challenge at Black With 2, I was very attracted to the color combo of black/lime/purple, but thought it was too challenging for me. But I'm a great fan of challenges, especially if they make me go out of my comfort zone, so I couldn't just pass over this challenge :).

Here's the challenge at Black With 2:

I started by gathering some papers with the requested colors and found the right photo, and then I was carried away, and pulled  out flowers in different shades of purple, and some ribbons it matching colors (forgotten and unused stash). I also used my newest die from Die-Namites, Floral Corner. Thanks to Sandra from Studio Fourteen40, I played again with my sequins. I think sequins add so much airy feeling. love them.

This is what I came up with:

Edit: my lo was one of the Top 9 featured layout!

AND won GD spot at Black With 2!
Thank you!

One of the reasons I don't work with purple is that I can never get a proper photo of this color. the dark purple turns out blue, the lavender turns out white. The lovely girls at BW2 gave me some tips how to use my camera, and I think it worked out! I told you - never say never :).
You can see the lovely colors on the close-ups:

I would like to enter it also for the 'use black' challenge at The Crafty Scrapper.

סקיצה חדשה ב-Stuck?! שאפשר לתת לה פירושים שונים, כפי שתוכלו לראות מעבודות צוות העיצוב השונות זו  מזו. בעוד כמה ימים אעלה פוסט 'מתחילה ועד סיום' על איך הכנתי את הדף הזה, ותוכלו להתרשם איך עובדים עם סקיצה, איך מיישמים עקרונות עיצוב שונים וכיוצ"ב.

יש פרסים שווים, כדאי לנסות את המזל (הזוכים נבחרים רנדומלית).

Your Smile

Here's my take on Orange Paperie & Co. challenge, which is 'white, gold & silver'. It was a little challenging for me. I don't have much gold/silver papers or embellies. I searched my stash and finally came up with a few items and started working on this page.

I used the sketch from Scraptastic, and it was drawn by Susan Stringfellow from Setch Savvy:

I used some gold papers, and some silver stickers. the alphas are also gold, and the title says: "your smile". I also used some gold and silver sequins and a silver doily.

Here are some close-ups on the details:

השילוב של לבן עם זהב וכסף היה לי מאד קשה. מילא כל אחד מהנוצצים הללו עם לבן, אבל שניהם ביחד?? גם לא פשוט למצוא תמונה שתעבוד עם השילוב הזה. הטוב ביותר הוא להשתמש בתמונת שחור לבן או בגווני ספיה, אבל לא הייתה לי כזאת, אז לקחתי תמונה של צעיר הבנים לפני קצת יותר משנה. החיוך שלו, עם השן החסרה, פשוט שובה לב.

תודה שקפצתן לבקר ואשמח אם תשאירו עקבות לביקורכן בתגובות.
