Text of the page (random words):
this week boy did i have fun playing with one of them there are 4 layers of fun going on here the base layer is a heidi swap stencil i used with one of my favourite techniques it s a simple thing use a water based ink directly on your stencil spritz it with water then lay it on your paper and immediately soak up any extra water that tries to leak out with a paper towel i first learned this technique off tim holtz but naturally i couldn t find it when i went to grab the link but i did find this which is essentially the same thing i have used two colours here salty ocean and peacock feathers distress inks the second layer was using one of my new stencils specimen by crafters workshop this thing is just so much fun i did a layer of distress paint salty ocean and broken china through part of it where i knew i was going to put my wings i just wanted a sort of bullseye shape for the wings to lay on the third layer was also using the specimen stencil but instead of paint or ink i used pen and traced pieces of the stencil on various parts of the background the final layer was using a wing stencil i found in the wall stencil area of michael s i don t know who makes it sorry i used golden s modeling paste through the wing stencil then sprinkled stampendous silver crushed glass glitter over the top of the paste the paste acts like an adhesive once everything dried i put my photos on then arranged the gears and wing in clusters the gears are mostly from the jewellery aisle in michel s where i can get a bunch of lighter weight gears for cheaper than the ones you can find in the scrapping supplies it s a fun aisle to peruse and i highly recommend having a look i added a couple of nicer gears some from tim holtz some from 7 gypsies and the wing also from the jewellery aisle and the brad securing the wing the alpha is by basic grey but it s pretty old so i don t know if it s still available the journaling reads i was standing waiting for old faithful to go off when i had a calvin moment just like when calvin realised his summer sky was missing a bit of red his kite i realised the snow bank was missing a snow angel yellowstone 26 december 2008 happy scrapping everyone and i do hope you get a chance to play along with the new challenge blog posted in challenge words paintery tagged challenge words paintery 6 comments 24 october 2014 by dleebug csi

file 144 csi case file 144 now don t forget you have til sunday night to complete this challenge there are still a few days left i particularly wanted to show you this lo because of the tiny cotton candy q tips next to the photo block they were made by my adorable nephew and my mom i came in one day whilst we were visiting to find them using markers and a spray bottle to make them cute huh well they came in handy for more than one lo here s this week s case file case file 145 and how i solved it csi case file 145 you ll notice the small photo in the corner has another of my nephew s masterpieces i just love the things and love that i got to use them twice this background was a lot of fun to make i soaked the waterdcolour paper with water then ran my broken china distress ink over it then i used several stencils and layered different mediums on top the black dots and the white circles are stamps the stripes are the th stencil with glitter paint i found the title somewhere on the internet and thought it was pretty perfect for these photos of my friends from this summer we have a good time together and since we re all scrapbookers we do leave a trail of glitter wherever we go can t wait to see how you solve the case posted in csi design team tagged csi design team leave a comment 3 october 2014 by dleebug csi 142 it just got real hey everyone friday again here s the case file for 142 case file 142 i love this image so fun except i have major issues with the idea that anyone is right or left brained here s how i solved the case case file 142 it just got real evidence light bulb speech bubbles arrows plain white background numbers stars triangles circles testimony journal in speech bubbles journaling is about the differences between my previous phd studies my current life and the phd i m about to begin the photo is of the journal articles i was reading to write my proposal the it just got real refers to the fact that i d been working on getting back to the phd for over a year and this was the first thing than i was doing that said dude this is real it s actually happening the genius refers to a poem mooney wrote its at the bottom of my page a genius

everyone it s friday again here s this week s csi file case file 141 isn t that image hilarious i immediately loved it seriously this turned out so perfect for these photos from 2011 here s how i solved the case case file 141 solved ha loved these photos so here s the story i was invited to a weekend crop but only one person knew i was coming i surprised the rest of the group that sort of set the tone for the whole weekend a couple of us started playing pranks it sort of turned into summer camp which was pretty awesome the final night 3 of us snuck out and saran wrapped one of the other participants cars now this was the first time i d met any of these people so it was something of a gamble since this prank was not pre planned we had to improvise the saran wrap we tried to hit a grocery store to get a large quantity of saran wrap but we weren t in anyone s home town and we didn t know they all closed so early seriously 9 00 pm on a saturday so we ended up getting 3 of the tiniest and therefore most expensive rolls of saran wrap you have ever seen well that s what you get from 7 11 it was worth it it was hilarious the next morning laura went out to her car she was calling it the pa rocket so we were the pa rockettes and we were lurking just around the corner she sees her car and turns to glare at us she thought it was pretty funny really since then she s turned into my bff so obviously we chose our mark well she started unwrapping her car then started wrapping it around us the next year we came much more prepared so how i made the lo i used one of my very favourite stencils from crafters warehouse the dot pattern looks like a bunch of random dots and shabby shutters distress ink tim holtz then i used another crafters warehouse stencil a distressed harlequin and embossing paste i used a paint brush and dirty martini dye lutions spray ink ranger to colour some of the diamonds then i dribbled crushed grape dye lutions from the top the gears are a mix of prima wood and some chipboard that i m not sure where they re from the green is shabby shutters distress paint the purple is concord grape distress stain the clouds are edged with shabby shutters and concord grape i have no idea what the die brand is unfortunately they were a gift possibly papertrey ink the film strip in the corner is tim holtz and finally yes that is actual saran wrap i used on the page here are a few close ups to check it out corner details saran wrap details so now it s your turn go crack that case posted in csi design team tagged csi design team leave a

themed post for the day anyone who dares complain will be walking the plank in honour of talk like a pirate day csi has hoisted the jolly roger here s the case file talk like a pirate case file isn t that wee bonnie lass just the most fearsome pirate to ever hoist sail here s how i cunningly cracked this case case file 140 the pirate map is the actual map of events they gave us at fantasycon in july i used the gel transfer technique with only two layers of regular weight gloss gel to make it more fragile worked like a charm me hearties if ye don t be knowing what technique just click on the link and it will take you there the background is a piece of kraft paper that i used a wood stencil from crafter s warehouse and fibre paste to make look like a plank i went over the dried paste with walnut stain distress ink and sprayed it so that the colour would run just like the yellow bellied curs i ve encountered on the high seas once dry i singed the edges a bit with a match well several matches to give it that well worn look now it be ye r turn get to work ye skallywags posted in csi design team tagged csi design team 1 comment 7 september 2014 by dleebug csi 138 go see do and and explanation for why i m late posting good weekend my friends wow i ve had the craziest week but it was brilliantly fun if you don t care about my excuses scroll down til you see the case file it s all scrapping from that point on friday was my nephew s birthday it was actually wednesday but we lied to him he s 4 we can still get away with that and my parents were in town for that we went to the zoo and frog got to ride the zoo train as many times as he wanted i had to skip out early as i had a podiatrist appointment i ve been having a pain in my foot since late may and was finally able to get in to see the specialist turns out i have a thing called morton s neuroma basically a bruised nerve between my toes in the early stages which this was it s a simple fix cortisone shot and no going barefoot if i had left it for ages and it went chronic it could actually have scared and required surgery so note to all seeing the podiatrist is a good plan anyway whilst i was in the exam room waiting for the doctor my friend texted me to say she had two multi day tickets to comiccon and couldn t use them did i want them umm yes but dang that s going to make my life complicated it was friday sunday as in that same day so i ran to pick up the tickets from her then went back to my sister s to hang with the family i ditched dinner and went to the convention in full weeping angel garb yes i am that kind of a geek had a great time only got to go for a short time before it closed for the night but hey free tickets after comiccon i had to stop at michaels for some supplies for the birthday party the next day friday was just play with grandma and papa for my birthday of course i didn t have time to go home and change then go to the store so i was wandering around michaels in my weeping angel costume it doesn t actually bother me to do things like that i usually get reactions like wow looks like you re having fun or as the cashier said that night i m so jealous i wanted to go got the paint and headed home at home i photoshopped some cute signs for the party activities foods etc and then dropped into bed i was pretty tired saturday i was up at 7 30 to shower and get ready i threw on a fan t shirt and jeans did my hair and ran out the door to target picked up the mini cupcakes they do the best ones and went to my sister s house dropped off the paint and cupcakes and had my dad take me back to comiccon spent all morning at comiccon i found the most adorable kids at play sign darth vader and luke battling it out with lightsabers got it for my sister tried to meet up with my friends who were there but we kept missing each other ended up running into another friend i didn t know was there hung with her went to the john barrowman panel seriously the man is adorable he s such a fan of his fans which i hadn t planned to do but am really glad i did for those of you who don t know him he plays capitan jack harkness in doctor who and torchwood and merlin the dark archer in green arrow right at the end of the hour he said i ve got a surprise for you and he sang a song here s my recording of it once that finished i worked out logistics with my dad for him picking me up and wandered the vendor fair for a while until he arrived got to my sister s house an hour before the party and helped finish getting ready for that blew up balloons posted signs set out food and then socialised with the guests til 7 then one of the other guests and i changed clothes and ran off to meet her parents to attend the symphony on the way there i was thinking that this was extremely poor planing on the symphony s part to host this on the same site as comiccon until it occurred to me no actually it was brilliant planning the symphony was doing video game music well played haha symphony well played it was hilarious and fun and so not your typical symphony so like i said i m exhausted i was mugged by my bed this afternoon it snuck up on me and kidnapped me for 4 hours and that s why i am late getting this layout posted here s the case file for this week case file 138 such a cute image i thought a lot about how i was going to solve this case because i don t have that much by way of school photos which is hilarious since i ve spent nearly my entire life at school well school or university but somehow i don t have hardly any photos about it what i do have though is a lot of travel photos and the most educational things i ve ever done have involved travel so i flipped through my huge file of unscrapped travel photos and chose some from new zealand i was told by one of my kiwi friends that if i was in the area i really should stop off and see the moeraki boulders i googled it and it happened to be that i was driving literally right past them of course it was also in the middle of a cyclone that s what they call a hurricane in the southern hemisphere so there was an incredible amount of...
