August 2025 CSI Files

 Hi there!

Today I'm gonna share the new CSI Casefiles for August and what I did for this month. There are two cases to solve each month and I am  on the part of the team that concentrates on the ones that gets presented first.

Here's a look on the case files:

Here's my layout for Casefile 460:

I was inspired by the color scheme but ended up adding some green. As for evidence I used woodgrain pattern (on the title), nautical themed elements and a stamped lighthouse.

Now - I was a bit cheeky and also used for another CT assignment for GingerScraps. Right now - starting August 1 so I am bit late tbh - it's SUMMER Scrap-A-Thon and YOU can earn some awesome prizes! The icing on the cake is this GORGEOUS MEGA collab which you earn by finshing 20 challenges and I promise you it's SO worth it! Just look at this preview:

Hope you have a wonderful Tuesday!

New August layouts for GingerScraps

 We are a couple of days into August and today I want to share my new layouts as Creative Team Member for GingerScraps.

I think the August 2025 Buffet colors looks lovely:

I made two layouts so far. Let's start out with the first one:

                        

I used this bundle by Aprilisa Designs called Beach Getaway:

I really like how the colors in this collection works so well with beachy photos for us living in the northern hemisphere.

For my next layout I used another one of the templates from the Beach Getaway bundle with The Octopus Garden bundle by The Britchick:

The next two layouts are made with August Daily Downloads by this month's featured designers. I can promise that both of them are worth checking in for grabbing all the little pieces! The first layout I did was this one:

I used Choose Joy - August 2025 DD by Neia Designs and the sneak peak looks like this:

                                        

The second one is this layout:

For this one I used the other August DD - Secret Garden by CarolW Designs - and here's a little sneak peek:

I have two more layouts to show you today.

Second last is this one made with the lovely August 2025 Monthly Mix Soul Sister which I have paired with a template from another of my CT designers - JB Studio:

Now to today's last layout featuring the August 2025 gorgeous FWP kit Sunflower Fields:

That¨s it for today! Tomorrow I will be back with a post about the latest CSI Files!

Pardon the dust

 I have every intention to get the blog going again but somehow something always gets in the way. Here's to hoping I can keep momentum! 

Let's start with the brand new March Casefile No.450 for CSI that looks like this:

The main focus for this case file is crafting and even though I love the color scheme here I went with other colors to fit my photos better. I scrapped a layout about a scrap retreat I was on a couple of weeks ago:

I used the following products that are linked:

Please be sure to pop in at the CSI page and get some MORE inspiration for this Casefile!

Happy Scrapping! 💖

CSI March Challenge Casefile 430

 Hi everyone!

It´s time to show what I made for  Casefile 430 over at CSI Challenges:

I had so much fun creating this layout and for inspiration I was inspired by the picture and about being creative. I chose to scrap a photo from my craft room:

To make my layout I used a template by Buzzbee Scraps which I am also a new CT member for! 

I will show and tell a little more about that later.

I also used a gorgeous collection by Kristin Cronin-Barrow called "A scrapbook tale: compose the memories". Here are the previews:

I hope I inspired you to take part of the CSI Challenges AND to get creative.

Happy Days!
