As my computer was out of action when this last kit was released, I was unable to post this fabulous kit by Amanda Yi and Captivated Visions:

My children don't have a father or grandfather or any significant male in their lives for that matter, so I decided to create a layout about my son who is the best:

CSI - #188

Hello all,

CSI currently have a bold and bright challenge on with a great sketch/template from Em Stafrace of The Nifty Pixel:

And this is my take on it:

MY BOY

 Credits:

Amanda Yi | You Are Fabulous

 Scotty Girl | This & That

Just Jaimee | StoryTeller January 2016

Studio Basic and Two Tiny Turtles | Choose Happy

The Nifty Pixel | Rosette Ready

I solved the case as so:
Testimony: Stripes, animal, ribbon, buttons, triangles
Evidence: 'My Boy' is the title of a song by Elvis Presley; Inspiration word, 'party' is in the journaling.

If you would like to pick up the template to play along, pop over to The Nifty Pixel blog.

Thank you for coming. Hope you are enjoying your day.

Scrapaneers - October Champions

Hello Everyone,

The latest Champions has just been released over at Scrapaneers. By the way, have you seen their new look website? I love it, it's so easy to use, and it's clear, bold and truly reflects their professionalism.
Anyway, October Champions is all about the Fear Factor. Doing something that gets you out of your comfort zone. It's a little scary to make that jump and leap off the edge, but at the same time, it is really thrilling to do so. The world widens and new possibilities emerge.

My layouts this month encapsulates techniques that I had never tried before. I had no idea what I was doing, but the more I played, the more I was enjoying myself and the fear started dissipating.

My first layout:

Everyday Magic

Amanda Yi | You Are Fabulous

Additional Brushes | Just Jaimee, Dawn Inskip

I really love this photo of my eldest daughter so wanted to showcase a large version. The new techniques I used related to the layering of papers and using different modes to create different effects. More details are in the Champions Companion Book (for which you need to be a member of Champions to access).

My second layout is of my son. He LOVES anything and everything to do with Star Wars, so it was inspired by this passion of his.

May the force be with you

It feels very strange to not add any embellishments to the page. I tried - for hours! (Well, so it seemed.) But nothing worked, so this alone is out of my comfort zone. Also, my son wasn't holding a light-saber when I took the photo, I found one on the web and added it. I love that about digital scrapping. :)

For more information about Champions and other digital classes, please head over to Scrapaneers.

Thank you for coming by.

I appreciate your comments. :)
