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!
