***CSI - Color Stories Inspiration Case File 222***

Hi All

Its time for a new Case File, the 2nd Case File of 2017 and its a beauty! I loved the colours in this scheme, this layout just flew together!

                                                                        Here's my layout....

For this months Case Files we have some amazing sponsors generously providing prizes for our challenges.

As you an see Swirlydoos Kit Club has teamed up with CSI this month…so much fun!

I am currently on the Swirlydoos Design Team so I have combined this Case File with products from the present and previous Swirlydoos kits.

All 5 colours from the scheme were used.

My evidence used was:

* floral patterns
* snowflakes/ stars
* jewels/ pearls
* something fuzzy
* decorative border
* fabric, ribbon,
* flowers/ leaves
* glitter

My Testimony used was:

* Document something about winter


This photo was taken just before Christmas 2016, the beginning of the UK winter.
My Mum, daughter  Holly and myself took our dog Evie for her walk on a very foggy day where we could hardly see anything! It was lovely to have my Mum with us as we don't get to be able to walk the dog together very often as they live away from us.
My Journaling is on the back of the tag hanging in the bottom right of my layout.


HERE ARE SOME CLOSE UPS

I added pearls to my BFS Chippie & around the layout.

The Bobunny  Winter Wishes Snowflake die cuts are from the latest Swirlydoos Kit. 

Ribbon bling layered on top of the crocheted velvet lace.

I altered my photo to black and  white to fit the page better together with a range of material and paper flowers.

I used pale powder blue Candi Core.

The tag with the Distress Grit paste stencilling in the background

The reverse side of the tag with my journaling.

The Queen & Co Stick Em's leaves covered in the Silver Halo glitter. This had the 'blue' colour init too.

The chippie embossed with BFS Imagine Ink embossing powder Mushroom.

***Swirlydoos Saturday Tutorial***

Hi all,


I'm up on the Swirlydoos Blog today with the Saturday tutorial.

I have created a Magnetic Tag Card made with the December Swirlydoos Kit. The tag is attached to the card with magnets, allowing the tag to be removed and kept as a keepsake, a fridge magnet.

On this card I have used the Ice Resin and the Prima IOD moulds from the Swirlydoos December Technique Kit Add On.

There is a SNAPGUIDE tutorial for this project which can be found via the Swirlydoos Blog page

***Saturday tutorial over at Swirlydoos***

Hi everyone!

Today I'm up on the Swirlydoos Kit Club blog with the Saturday tutorial.

I had one piece of 49 and Market PP left over from my November Swirlydoos Market Street kit and thought it would make a lovely card! So in this tutorial I am making a 'Z' fold greetings card using the November kit.

If you pop over to the Swirlydoos blog HERE you will find the link to the SNAPGUIDE tutorial.

And a close up on one of the handmade flowers

Thanks for stopping by today

**Swirlydoos November Kit 'Market Street' Reveal**

Hello all,

Today I'm sharing with you my Design Team Projects for the Swirlydoos Kit Club 'Market Street' Kit reveal.
This kit features beautiful papers from 49 and Market 'Botanical Heirlooms' collection. I adored these papers and as always the kit included some gorgeous embellishments!

I'm going to start with the

SKETCH CHALLENGE.

We have a beautiful new look sketch this month designed by our very own DT member Kim. Details of the challenge are on the forum HERE

Here is my take on the sketch.

 I used the papers 'The Patch' and 'Passage' from the Heirloom Botanicals collection for this layout.

There is some fussy cutting to create the flower embellishments and cutting into the paper to slip in the lace. I have used products from the Main kit, Flower, Embellishment and Mediums Add On kits.

SOMEONE SPECIAL LAYOUT

Next I'm going to show you another layout using the Duty Attic chipboard piece from the Embellishment Add On.

I used paper 'Faded Bloom' for this layout. I altered my chipboard with a Lindys Stamp Gang embossing powder Geranium Coral Blush, from a previous kit.

I used the Prima Memory Hardware Artisan powder 'French sage' in the background of my flower clusters to deepen the cluster and give it some 'undergrowth' background.

I have used the Main, Flower, Embellishment and Mediums Add On kits.

Next up is my

ALL THAT FLUTTERS CHALLENGE LAYOUT

For this challenge use the November 'Market Street’ kit and Kit Add-ons to create a scrapbook layout, OTP project, tag or card including anything that ‘flutters’ somewhere within that project i.e butterflies, dragonflies, bees, ladybugs, birds, fairies

More detail on the Forum HERE

Here is my layout

I used the paper 'Oasis' for this layout. I tore the paper into 3 and then turned the middle piece over and used the reverse side in my layout.

The sewing machine came out for this layout!

I used products from the Main, Flower, Cardstock, Embellishment and Medium Add On Kits.

ANATOMY LAYOUT

You may have seen this already in the reveal post but if you haven't this is my anatomy layout.

This layout is made from the Main Kit only.

You can find the SNAPGUIDE tutorial for this layout HERE

Lastly for today is my

TECHNIQUE KIT PROJECT CANVAS

I thoroughly enjoyed this project - a 12x12 canvas and some Bare Basics 'Love' Letters.

I did a Mixed Media background and then had fun with the flowers!

There is a SNAPGUIDE tutorial to go with this to show you my process in creating this.

You can find it HERE 

Here  are some close ups.

Thank you for stopping by today,

I hope you enjoyed your visit
