Working as a Special Investigator...

Recently I was very honoured to be asked to be a November Special Investigator for the challenge blog CSI. This is my first week in the role using case file no. 96.

Take Note.

Featuring a school photo of my Dad.

From this file I used:

Scheme - all colours used.

Evidence - typewriter accent, typewriter font, clock, gold metal, vintage photo, paint.

Testimony - Use a typewriter font.
I really enjoy their challenges & this one was  on exception. Hop on over & have a go yourself, it's a great mojo starter :)

Story Telling Sunday - Is it Precious ??

Happy November to you all :)

Here we are on the first sunday of the month which makes it Story Telling Sunday over at High in the Sky.

This month I wasn't sure what Precious I was going to share but I needn't have worried as one in fact two became very clear to me this week...

Let me explain...most people know by now the issues we've had with our home but the knock on effect of the rebuild has been the state of our back garden after the fire crew, digger & demolition team & then builders all tramped & traipsed over it. We did have some work done on it initially but settling back into our home took priority.

Over the last couple of weeks we have had a new path laid & the gardener/builder man took a shine to these 2 garden ornaments which were semi hidden in a border against the fence & even hinted he would like them.

Now I wouldn't usually be a fan of Gnomes etc but these two were part of the garden when we originally bought the house way back when & we even joked about them to each other after our initial viewing of the property & although we never meant for them to stay they did. I was shocked by how protective I felt when there was a chance they would be going. We don't have many original features left so I think we need to find them a perfect spot in the new design.

Hop on over to Sians blog to read more stories this sunday x

Shark Bait!!

At the start of each month the Scrapology Design Team set a page challenge with a sketch for you to use over on the blog. Here is my DT example for November.

Shark Bait.

Featuring a photo I took of my mad family in the shark tank at Ushaka Marine World in Durban,SA.

I flipped the sketch  bringing the chipboard accent which I painted & misted to the bottom of my underwater page.The outer circle was created using 3 colours of paint.

Hop on over to see other great examples using the same sketch x
