Special case file at CSI: S365-7 with scrap365

A little earlier than usual, a new special case file it up at CSI, with Scrap365, case file S365-7:

And this is my take on this case file, with a photo of my boys going down the mountain from David's Fall at Judea desert:

 My clues to solve the case were:

Scheme - all colors are here.
Evidence - clouds, hot-air balloon, stripes, polka dots, string, labels
Testimony - inpiration word 'high', plus ducumenting an adventure. the journaling is on the tag behind the layers, and it says: "On Independence day 2012, we went for a trip to David's Fall. the way to the fall was pretty easy one, and then we decided to climb up the mountain, to the top of the fall. Climbing up so high was quite an adventure and was not that easy, but we did it!"
I used the sketch #120 from Sketchabilities:

I used a flair from StudioFourteen40 and the hot-air balloon chipboard is from Creative Embellishments. I colored the chipboards with gesso and oil pastels.
Here are some close-ups on the details:

Fun In The Sun - WW1

Here's my entry for July challenge at White With 1, which asked for white with duck egg:

It's another mixed media style lo:

Edit: international winner at White With 1!

Chipboards are from Creative Embellishments and FabScraps, and I used many different mediums on them - gesso, distress stain, embossing powder, perfect pearls. For the background I use scraps of pp, gesso, modeling paste, building tape, stencilmists, stamps and oil pastels

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:

Just laugh & be happy - CSI case file #126

It's time for a new case file at CSI, case file #126, with a happy summery palette:

And this is my take on it:

Edit: fetured designer at Sketchabilities

I used Sketchabilities sketch #116:

I used some StudioFourteen40' goodies: Happy life vellum tabs set 1 (out of stock but soon to be back!); flairs (a happy life set 5; robot rumble set 6 - on sale!!). I also used some Creative Embellishments' chipboards. Papers, tags, envelope - Fancy Pants Park Bench collection.

This is how I solved the case file:

Scheme - all colors are here.

Evidence - chevrons, polka dots, flowers, numbers (on the envelope behind the photo), ampersand, heart, transparent element (the vellum tab), scallops.

Testimony - my circular journaling spot has a decorative edge, and I used all the inspiration words on my journaling: "Life with you are a continuous invitation for adventures, celebration and joy. there's always a funny face, a happy frank and a cracking up. Eilat, Nov 2013".
I would like to enter it also to the June challenge at Orange Paperie & Co., which is a tic tac toe challenge. I have two rows - twine, orange chippies and punching, orange, cogs.

I flipped the sketch to the side, and this is what I came up with:

 At first, the color combo, with the pink, was very challenging for me, but I'm so pleased with how my lo came out! so soft and serene. The photo was taken on March this year, on the deck at Tel Aviv port. I've had a wonderful day, great weather and meeting my BFF.
