Cuts2luv is guest detective on the CSI challenge

Hi bloggers,

This month, Cutts2luv is one of the sponsors for the CSI challenges. Our team has been invited to be Guest Detectives for 2 cases.

Let's start with Case # 251, here is my page for this challenge:

I loved the youthful fun image included in the challenge. I opted to start my layout on a blue background, then added a white section. I chose whimsical papers to lighten up the page of my little dog Maya, she is just adorable and brings us so much joy on a daily basis. 

My evidence: solid background, textured papers (stripes & dots), Picture of my dog, Paper flowers, Hearts & flower stamps & word phrases & color combo.

Testimony: This layout is how my little dog is ADORABLE and such a ray of light in our lives, we truly love her so much.

Here are a few more pictures for my case:

Be true kit

Now it's time for Case #252:

Yellow... A color I have to say I love but neglect to use on my pages. This image was refreshing, I wanted to capture a special moment in our family life of when we bought our cottage. That place was a ray of sunlight in our life. I felt it was the perfect moment to capture for this challenge.

My evidence: Stripes, dots, circles, numbers (roman clock), hearts (die-cut) & color combo.

For the testimony, I would say I was inspired by the word SHINE and chose my title SUNSHINE to reflect that inspiration.

And now here are a few more pictures for my page:

I hope you will liked both pages & wish you a wonderful week.

Case file 189- Adorable

Already time for my 3rd and last case as a Special Investigator for the CSI blog.   I just loved the color and theme of this challenge. To be honnest, I am not big on taking pictures of my drinks and food so I needed a picture. Special Thanks goes out to my friend Caroline (Elliam) for providing me this pic. Also you'll find her brand new die-cut (Adorable) and badges.  

 

Here is the case file.

 

My Evidence: Food accent, enamel dots, String, Asteriks

 

My Testimony is written in a recipe format about how to create this wonderful Latte.

 

You like the badges and the die-cut, have a look at Caroline's Etsy store: Cuts2Luv

 

Miam... now I feel like going to get one...

 

Thanks again to the CSI team for the invitation to be Special Investigator, it's always a pleasure.

 

Have a great day !

It's always an honnor to be asked to be a special investigator by the CSI team.   The first challenge of the month is a beautiful vintage clockwork piece. Looking at it I was inspired to use one of the pictures fro our trip to Boston in 2014.   Here are my boys and hubby in none other that the famous Quincy Market. Have you ever been? It's an amazing market and the seafood soup is just AMAZING !  

 

Of course you'll find my cuts2luv button:

November Most Wanted on CSI

Too funny, It's fun when a page you didn't like gets chosen as part of the most wanted of the month over at CSI. At times I think we are our worst critics.   Here is my page, looking at it again, It's ok, but still not my favorite... tehee..  

    Well... I guess you will see more of my participation in the January challenges since I will be once again Special Investigator for January.  

  Wishing all of you Happy Holidays !!!!

Family Mini-Golf CSI Case file #181

Wow it has been quite a while since I last did a challenge over on the CSI forum.   Loved the color combo, the sketch and the boyish inspiration. Here is my page for Case File #181:  

  Here is a closer look at the picture montage:  

  The text is handwritten and the title is a beautiful wood veneer by Freckled Fawn.   My evidence for this challenge: Kraft Background, clowds, gears, metal, stamps, clock parts & a mustache. The testimony talks about a day during our vacation in Florida in 2014. I also used the Nifty Pixel sketch.   Here is the case file if you want to give it a try.  

 

Case File 153 as Special Investigator for CSI- Happy Adventure

Well, at times, some fun journeys come to an end, and thus this is my last page as Special Investigator for the CSI team. I have to say that I have truly enjoyed the oppportunity and hope that I have can inspire you one last time to participate in solving this latest case file.   For the Case file # 153, we need to document a milestone that you have celebrated.   For me in 2014, my biggest milestone was achieving a 5K race under 40 minutes. First hand, you need to remember that last January I could not run 2 minutes strait. So, no matter the time, for me, running a 5K is a milestone that I have celebrated and I hope to build on it in 2015.  

 

My evidence:

Border punch

Drip something: Gelatos

Texture paste: I used Fiber paste by Golden

Circle: My flowers

Bakers Twine

Labels

 

My testimony is about being inspired by my friends who are running half marathons, granted they have been doing this for a while, but I decided that I could at least do a 5K. And I did... It was not easy, I trained 3 times a week with the Running Room team, but I am very proud of myself for this achievement.

 

So here are two of my favorite products that I have used to create my page:

 

Golden's Fiber Paste: I looooove it.. It add such great texture and dries relatively quickly, this is good the me since I like to get done in the same day.

 

 

Gelatos colors: Mint, Pink and Red. What I love the most about Gelatos is when I make them drip on a page. For some reason, it adds a softness that I cannot get with other products. Remember to put a thin quote of Gesso on your page first.

 

 

 

Here is the case file if you want to join in on the fun

 

 

So CSI Team, Thanks for the Happy Adventure too... It was really fun to be your January Special Investigator.
