CSI Case File 152- Special Investigator- Daisy & Me

So I am enjoying my time as a special investigator on the CSI team for January. This next challenge has a selection of my favorite colors: Turquoise and bright green. I was so inspired by that Image about having a festive theme that it mad me think as to what picture I could use for this challenge. I like when my pictures kinda match the colors schemes, I just find it makes it easier to create my page. Now, for a festive image, well, let's just say that our Disney vacation came to mind, and then I found this picture of Daisy Duck and myself. It was our 2nd trip to Disney, but it was the first time that I saw Daisy... I was really happy to get my picture with her.

My evidence for this case file:

Polka Dots

Ribbon

Stars

bows

Jewels in the shape of Mickey Mouse 

My journaling in located in 2 sections, the first part is the top of my page and the second is on a smart card. My journaling is about having this picture as a GIFT. The Walt Disney World experience truly is a Dream come true and I hope to have the chance to go back for many time again.

I hope you will join in on the fun. So here is the case file, I hope you will be as inspired as I was.

Inspiration Wednesdays with Donna Downey

Ok, so you know how much I Love and admire Donna Downey, so there was no way that I was going to miss out on the fun of joining the group for the weekly videos.   I went nuts and even spoiled myself rotten with one of her Journals, trust me shipping to Canada is not innexpensive, so this is my birthday gift from me to me. (Yup my birthday is in January, so I can make this work..)   As I watched the video today I realised I was missing a key ingredient.. The Golden Acrylic Glazing Liquid. Leave it to me to go to the craft store, on my way back from work, in a snow storm to be able to play in my craft room tonight since my hubby is away. Yes, I can confirm, I am nuts.   So here is my Intro page of my journal:  

    So... again miss impatient here, I struggled with my 2015. The <15> kept coming off when I was washing with the baby wipes. Again, I was too much in a hurry and probably should have given the molding paste more time to dry, but who has time??? Tonight was MY night. So, I ended up placing my date tag over the <15> to cover it up. Oh well, That is what happens when you are on a deadline. LOL   I used my word of the year: Believe, again I struggled with my stencils being too big or too small... So I did a mix, It's different, but I like the result.   Here the cover of my Journal, I am loving the turquoise and orange colors on it. The lotus flower gives it a Zen look. You can never have enough ZEN moments, and this is exactly what Mixed-Media gives me, my Zen moments.  

  NOW... the CHALLENGE for 2015.... Having the time and the DISCIPLINE to do them all. SO... I truly hope that I can do every project since I know how much joy they will bring me.    Cheers To 2015 ! I am off to a great start !

Challenge YOUrself January Challenge

It's time for the January Challenge ! And this month the challenge is an easy one. What we are looking for is: One Little Word... My Little word for this year will be : Believe Why believe you ask? well, in 2014, I challenged myself to lose weight and run my 1st 5K race. I constantly reminded myself that I am good at achieving goals, that I could do it and I did... So in 2015, I still need to Believe in myself, in my capabilities and have faith that I can achieve what I set my goals to. I want to continue on my path to lose weight and want to run another 5K race by improving my time and making it easier. Too often I get into periods of self doubt about my abilities at work, as a mom, and in myself to keep on track. I need to stop listening to that little voice of doubt in my head and have the confidence required. I need to Believe in myself on more levels. Here is my page for this challenge:

So whast is your word for 2015?

Been there done that !

One of the values that I am trying to give my kids is that they need to TRY.   Last winter, my eldest son wanted to do like his brother and try snowboarding, so I got him set-up, rented a board, got him some lessons and off he went.   I found the January challenge at Scrapauxpuces perfect for this page. We had to use Rub-ons, lucky me I had some in my stash that were just perfect for this winter picture of my son Philippe when he tried snowboarding last winter. TRIED is the word here since he decided it was not for him and stuck to skiing instead. But I am very proud that he did try the eperience. It takes courage to try new things, sometimes we like it, other times not so much, but unless you trym you will never know...  

This stamp that my friend Marie-France had was just perfect... As soon as I saw her stamp, I knew exactly what photo would go along with it. What better way to keep a record of my son trying to snowboard and yes we do have the photo to prove it. Loving that stamp !

 



   Got to say that I love my i-phone for taking pictures, it is just so handy and does a great job. You don't always plan for moments with your camera, but having my i-phone makes daily moments so much easier to capture.
