My First Book - CSI Case File no.109

Hello Everyone

Monday sure was a busy day! I hope you have had a good one.

I finished my page for the new case file at CSI...it is a goodie.



Here's my take on it.

Evidence: Books stacked, Mimic the architechural details
Testimony: The word read
This photo is about the first book that I have ever owned, one that I bought for myself.
My journalling is a tag in the little folder behind the photo that says Memories.
My journalling says this: This was the first book I ever bought for myself. It was bought at a fete or something but I remember how proud I was that I owned a book. I read it from cover to cover and many times over! It was the first of many books that I bought and loved! 1983

I used a combination of Prima School Memories collection and 7 Gypsies, along with some DoCrafts. Quite a mix match.

I wanted the page to have a bit of a vintage feel, as this book is quite old.

I love reading, and this was certainly the start of my love affair with books! This, however, is probably the only book that I for certain know the Title and the author...I am just horrid at remembering book titles and authors. BUT ask me any song title or artist and I could tell you. I wish I knew why that is! LOL

Anyways, thanks for visiting today!
I hope you have an awesome day!

Not All Who Wander Are Lost - CSI Case File #83 / Sketchbook365 August Sketch Challenge

Hello Everyone

Well I am soooo happy to say that my weekend has started, as tomorrow is a public holiday! So I have 3 days to relax and hopefully lots and lots of scrappy time.

I have a page to share with you today for the new CSI challenge here and the Sketchbook365 challenge here.

So my page incorporates the CSI themes and colours, and the sketch used is the one above.

Evidence: Stripes, Ledger Pattern, Stamps
Testimony: Journey, Place
I have put my journalling on the back of this page:

This is Joe standing on the top of Schneeberg, the highest mountain in Austria! It is such an awesome place, where you can stand and look for miles and miles! It literally feels like you are standing on the top of the world.

Instead of Joe turning the telescope down and looking into the valleys, he preferred to look up and see the sky, clouds and birds that were flying overhead.

He had to reach up on his tip-toes, to get his eyes to the viewer. It was so cute to watch him and he was enthralled.

The journey up the mountain is also a magnificent train ride, that takes you to the edge of your seat! It is a steam train that is helped up by a chain, as the angle is so steep! It is the best train ride we have ever had!

Schneeberg, was certainly one of the high-points of Austria! ;-)

Supplies used:

Teresa Collins Far Away Collection

7 Gypsies Stamps

Enmarc Chipboard Frame

Wilpro Chipboard Arrows

Stencil and paints

Thanks for stopping by!
I hope you have a super evening!

At a Stretch - Scrap Friends July Sketch Challenge

Hello Everyone

I have a page to share with you for the Scrap Friends July sketch challenge.

I really loved this sketch and so wanted to keep my page quite close to this design.

So here is my page.

I took these photo's of this ellie at the zoo last week, when we took the kids on an outing. He was really so close to us, we could almost touch him.

Here is a close-up of my journalling.

I used Fancy Pants Swagger Collection as these papers were the great earthy colours that I was looking for.

The alpha stickers are Beary Patch, the arrow chipboards are Wilpro, the brackets are Celebr8, and the washi tape 7 Gypsies.

Thanks for stopping by!

I really appreciate your visits.

Have a super evening!
