Hope you all find some time to create  today! :)

CSI - Major Challenge #172

Hello Everyone,

Today I would like to share my submission for the CSI Major Challenge - #172.

I loved the colours of this case file:

And my layout (digital):

1953

Template | The Nifty Pixel

Paper and Elements | Pieces of Me Digital Collection & Little Things Digital Elements by Vinnie Pearce

Tags | assorted designers

Brushes | assorted, including The Nifty Pixel

Metal Style | Scrapaneers Champions

How I solved the case:

Evidence | string/twine, leaves, metal, clock face

Testimony | used the word, 'destination' in the journaling.

Journaling reads: Your first summer in Australia. You arrived from Holland to your new destination, Renamkr in South Australia with family and no language skills.  You were completely unprepared for the great difficulties that lay ahead.

The case closes August 31 so still time to enter. CSI accept both traditional and digital layouts.  I really enjoy their challenges and find them motivating....and it's probably the only time I actually journal on my pages!

Thank you for coming past. :)

Scrapaneers - August Champions

Hello all,

I'm settling in with the Scrapaneers Creative Team and having a wonderful time!
The other day was the new release for the Champions subscription. If you are wanting to learn digital scrapping, or looking for some new techniques and styles to add to your stash, Champions offers fantastic value. Head over to HERE for more information.
In the meantime, my layouts using the new release (and a few bits from older Champion kits):

Family Selfie

My children and I managed to squeeze together for a rare photo together.

Bionicle

These photos were taken almost two years ago....it seems like only the other day! Crazy how time flies.

Thank you for coming by. Hoping you are having a fabulous day!

The Nifty Pixel - Core Radiance

Hello all,

The Nifty Pixel has just released a new digital collection, Core Radiance:

This kit is perfect if you exercise or wanting to motivate yourself into action of sorts. Although I use to be a gym junkie, my mind doesn't go there at the moment. However I am happy to say I don't eat any sugar, grains or dairy and feel better for it too.:)
Core Radiance is such a wonderful versatile kit, even without the exercise focus, I was able to create these layouts:

Perfect

The Nifty Pixel | Core Radiance Digital Collection

The Nifty Pixel | A Tad Torn V.2

The Nifty Pixel | Light Fantastic Clipping Masks

The Nifty Pixel | Cosmo Bloom Elements (black/white ribbon)

The Nifty Pixel | Make It Stay Fasteners Pack

Katie Pertiet | Hung Frames

 Right Now

The Nifty Pixel | Core Radiance Digital Collection

Katie Pertiet | Stitched Borders

There is so much to love about The Nifty Pixel kits. I LOVE the brushes and paint Em designs, but also the patterned papers and elements which are always so different, versatile and interchangeable with her other kits. She is so clever.

Core Radiance is available all weekend at 30% off, at the DigiChick.

Please head over to The Nifty Pixel blog or Facebook page to see more!

Wishing you all a wonderful day. :)

CSI - Case File #171

Case File #171 is just gorgeous. I couldn't resist playing along with this one:

My layout:

The Nifty Pixel | Template: Pretty As A Picture

The Cut Shoppe | Tiny Triangles

The photo is of my eldest daughter on her 7th birthday back in 2012. The photos aren't very good quality, but it still captures the moment. 

How I solved the case:

Evidence: stripes, triangles, banners, food (cupcake), cork (arrows), dots.

Testimony: the word, 'celebrate'.

I used a file from the Cut Shoppe, the files are normally for use in a Silhouette machine and for printing, but I decided to use them as a background to emboss. I like to do white on white shapes in my traditional layouts at times, so thought I'd try it here. I like the interest it gives.

This case file closes in about 4 days. 

Thanks for popping in!

The Nifty Pixel - Digi Scrap Parade

Hello Everyone,

This weekend, ending Monday August 3, there is the Digi Scrap Parade, a quarterly parade showcasing numerous digital artists. It's basically a blog hop, with each stop having downloadable product that the artists have designed, all around a theme. By the end of the hopping, a massive kit will have been collected. Awesome!

This hop, the theme is, 'World Geography'.

It starts off at The DigiScrap Parade site. Please go HERE.

The Nifty Pixel are contributing this parade and Em has made this fabulous mini kit:

Hope you are all having a wonderful day!
