Friday CSI - LIVE!

 Well have been off all week and can't really show alot for it although I did get quite a bit accomplished.  I was behind in my CSI case files and we have also had several special case files which should be revealed soon.  So even though this is all I have to show - there's more in the wings.  Plus I still have a ton of goodies from my November Gossamer kit with a new kit on the way to me now!  I just need some more pictures!  Jason did give me a new disc though of pictures taken down in Mexico as well as some they took here at the Botanical Gardens looking for this perfect picture which was used for their Save the Date photo!  Loved the colors in this case file and as I had just gone blogging and saw an amazing inspirational video over at Di Garling's blog I was inspired to stick my foot in and try some major mixed media background work.  Really liked how it came out and had such fun doing it.  Definitely not my norm but hey trying new things is always fun!
Drove up Thursday and took my 87 year old Mom out to lunch .  Let us say we got out exercise as we got completely turned around coming out of the restaurant (which was in the middle of an outlet mall) and spent about 45 minutes looking for her car!  And yes she still drives although we try to keep it to a minimum!

Thanks for stopping by - I'll be killing myself at work for the next two days so if I recover will be back on Monday!

CSI and some Gossamer Blue

 I haven't been a very good blogger recently - don't really know why because it hasn't been for lack of time.  Just lack of motivation I guess. I have been scrapping though but don't feel I have my good mojo going.   I want to try out for more design teams - I think that's the problem - I work better under pressure and right now CSI is the only team I'm on.  So need to step it up and get out there and find more to do.  SOOO in saying that here's the last two week's Case Files.

 

 Then here's more pages from the Gossamer Blue October kit which seems to be endless this month.  I did buy some extra papers so maybe that's it.  But with Maria's parents being in town last weekend for us to all meet and go buy her dress I do have pictures to scrap!

Course there's always the adorable Gavin to scrap as well!

Thanks for stopping by!

CSI and Gossamer Blue

Only worked Sunday and Monday this week but work I did!  Off until Saturday but saw that big C (charge) beside my name which is always stressful!  Hoping for a nice quiet day but I know better.  Going Friday with Maria and her family to pick out and order the wedding dress!  So exciting! We took a short (two night) trip to Port A last week and had a fabulous time.  The weather was awesome - in the 80s - so running on the beach in the morning and laying in the sun all afternoon.  Then on to a couple of drinks and oysters in the evenings!  Perfect - hated to come home and when I did a cool front had come through and had to put on long pants?????
Late this week posting my CSI page - almost time for another Case File.  But here's my take on Case File #143

 Next up is a few layouts from my October Gossamer Blue kit - I really added to the basic kit with all their extra ones this time so I have a huge stack of papers and goodies to choose from and then Megan sent me a bunch of new pictures last night so I have really been inspired to scrap.  Managed to do all these since yesterday afternoon!

  Then this was still with last month's kit.

 

 Thanks for stopping by!

CSI and some Core'dinations

 Wonderful week away from work - this week I only had to work Sun/Mon and off till this coming Sunday - so LOVING it!  Next week is another long one - Sun/Mon/Wed but I'll live - I always do.  Have just been trying to work through the last two months Gossamer Blue kits - they seemed endless! 
Got some new bar stools so now we don't feel like we are sitting in highchairs by the bar.  Jason and Maria will be gaining the old ones which are still good - just too short. Headed out to Fredericksbury for a Peddler's Show to meet Charlie's sister, two nieces and daughter.  Can't wait!  Poor Charlie subjected to a girl's day!
Long post today but decided to do some house cleaning in my photo shop.
First up is this week's  CSI Case File - loved the bright fun colors.  BE SURE to check out what the rest of the design team created as there are some amazing pages this week yet again!

   

 And here's my take on it!

  

Next is the Special Case File for Scrap 365-8.  

 

 And here's my take.

Then here are some pages I had done for Core'dination's that I don't think were ever posted.  The first page used Black Magic.  I put some circles behind the page and sanded over them for my background.

Then this page shows off the Core Tags.

This is the White Wash collection where I scored the background.

This page is done from the Bright's collection

This back to school page is done with the new Chalk Core .

Then here are a couple of pages I have done with the Gossamer Blue kits on my desk.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
