CSI - Case File #247

Hello Everyone,

I think I just make it in to the CSI Case File #247 for this month. It's been crazy busy around here, partly due to the fact that my mother is getting married on Saturday! I've been busy stitching and helping with the preparations, in between working and life with 3 growing children.

Anyway, the colourful case file:

I went with the easy-going summer style and colours:

February Challenges - The LilyPad

What better way to get moving into scrapping, then joining a challenge? I have been inspired many, many times over, by the gorgeous layouts of Em Stafrace, and was reminded by her recent scrapping, of the challenges held over at The LilyPad.  For February, there are 8 in total for the month.  I'll see how I go.  I have done half so far which is a pretty good start. :)

Random Challenge: Choose a MOC Challenge from January 2018: Jan 7 - Include 20 Photos on a layout  (This was a definite challenge!)

Jen Maddocks - January Challenge

Hello Everyone,

I have had a break from scrapping and from the computer for almost a year. Sometimes a break is needed to deal with personal things happening and to reassess what is important.  During that time, I did a lot of sewing, which I love to do, and shall be sharing some of my makes as well as some scrapbooking that I have just started up again. I found that not scrapping, left a little void.  It reminds me to be thankful and is therapeutic for me in a different way than sewing is. So I'm going to just poddle along and see what I feel like doing and sharing at the time. :)

To get back into scrapbooking, I joined a Jen Maddocks challenge over at Digital Scrapbook Studio. Each month, she holds a challenge and supplies a few items that must be used in the challenge, and the rest is up to the creator.

At the end of January, I joined the January Bricolage challenge with this layout:

This is what was supplied for the challenge:

I also used:

Jen Maddocks | Bricolage Monthy January 2018 (Bundle)

https://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/digital-art/bundled-deals/bricolage-monthly-january-2018-bundle/

Jen Maddocks | Bricolage Monthly January 2018 (Add-On)

https://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/digital-art/element-packs/bricolage-monthly-january-2018-add-on/

And then I joined the Art Therapy Challenge for January with this layout using the same kit:

It was a great way to get back into the digital arena.  I accidentally deleted all my brushes, and forgot some techniques and where things were in the program....but it was enjoyable to create again.

Thank you for popping in.
