CSI challenge #325 and Veckans skiss #S2 2020

Hi,
I follow 2 challenges today. CSI challenge no 325 and the sketch of the week (Veckans Skiss). I participated in Ali Edwards project "One day in the life" and documented 25th March when I took photos on different time points during the whole day. This page is the morning.

CSI challenge no 325:
I used wood, circular elements and transparant elements, and from the color I used black and cream. (Actually the photos also shows some food elements).
The testimony is from 100 ideas: no 57. Do a morning collage.

From the sketch of the week I followed this sketch :

Some closer views of evidence as wood, circular elements and transparant elements:

The journaling is documentation what happened in the morning 25/3 at different times, one time point per photo.

The material I have used is old stash mostly from Ali Edwards story kit.

Thanks for watching, more pictures found on instagram (gunilla_pysslar).

CSI No. 272 - a winter LO

I love the challenges from CSI to wake up my fantasy, and this time it was case file 272 that I wanted to scrap - to my January month in my Project Life album.

As we have had a lovely snowy winter I wanted to document that, and found this nice picture of my dog and his friend playing in the snow. I wanted to keep the whole LO as white and "snow like" as possible - that's why it's so white and CAS .

Moodboard 272:

Testimony: Document winter

The scene: I used all colors but very little of the non white colors

Evidence:  Dots on a transparent paper behind the photo, winter elements, animals, string, mist, metal, cut file

Here are some closer view of my evidences:

Dots (transparent paper), string, Metallic, winter elements, dog and bird

Mist with extra glitter glue on the top, metallic brad, cut file ("season")

Winter element: snow flakes, Swedish snowing song "yeah see it's snowing, yeah see it's snowing, wasn't it funny, hurray!"

Animals (puffy stickers) and you can even see a carrot (one of the evidence). 

More winter elements

CSI 271

I really liked this idea to use old stash in this special CSI case! So when I saw this picture I was thinking of me as a teenager doing hand crafting called : crochet (similar to knitting). Also the girl picture was like me as young I think:

Here is the case: 

What I followed was:

The scene: the girl remind me as teenager girl doing knitting/crochet and I also followed the colors. The title on this paper was so good - it was perfect timing, as I know write down the text from my teenaging diaries (I have 25 books from when I was 6-25 years old).

Product clues: 

a) I went to my 10th paper and found this green one. As I thought it was too much green on this I wrote a long documentation with my Silhouett on an old off white 12X12 paper.

b) Used 3 quite new stamps, never used before.

c) I used old forgotten Rubons that I just have used some of, long time ago. 

d) I used old buttons, and red old paper flowers from a border.

Design clues:

a) I created a wreath around the photo. 

b) I added stitching, from a string that I made this bluegreen flower of (made by crochet).

I also think it's funny that I found a heart that looked like a knitting material:

CSI No 266

Hi, here is my LO where I followed the Classic way for CSI No 266 (see link).

I have used a lot of emballishments from the price I got from "Mystical Scrapbooks".

And here is the inspiration board:

As you see I have lighter colors but  it's similar.

Evidence: Stars, Hearts, Birds, Frames, Clock, Puffy stickers, something unexpected

Testimony: Journaling about what I do everyday + Journaling in a frame

Closer views:

Unexpected robot, but you can see a Clock in it and it can represent my son that really likes to play computer games. 

I have put the frames in different levels or dimensions with small 3d-pads.

In the journaling in the frames I just talked about what I do every day from morning to evening, and then I put photos that fit in to the journaling.

"Breakfast, walk the dog, taking the bike to job, bike back home to walk the dog, egg-lunch, job, afternoon coffee, dinner to whole family, practice car driving with son, chill, walk the dog with my husband late in the evening"

Thanks for watching!

Here are some closer views:

Puffy sticker, Labels, Animal, Frames, Gold dots

CSI No 264

I am doing my PL-album and mix the photos with some LO. Now I have come to November 2017 in my album and wanted to make something of my playing interest (organ). As one of the theme in CSI (see link)  was about books, I chosed to write about the chorale (hymn) book (Swedish: psalm book).

Here is the LO, a mix of old things and new for example Maja design paper:

And here is the inspiration picture from CSI:

I chosed the traditional CSI, as it really help my fantasy to bloom, so here are the clues:

All colors

Evidence: text print, metal, animal, fabric (felt), jar, puffy stickers, ink the edges, lots of layers

Testimony: Write about book

Here are some closer views:

Animal of felt, a lot of layers.

Metal, text print, inked edges, lot of layers

Animal. I have added extra numbers and music washi tape - because the LO is about the chorale book that has one number per chorale.

Jar, puffy stickers, felt flower, documentation of the hymn book. Here I chosed my top 3 hymns from the book: 199, 122, 386. You can also see the calender with November, where I made 2 circles for the dates I was playing. 

If I translate the journaling: 

When I graduated from the cantor (organist) exam, we should be able to sing right away avista from the chorale book, so I and my friend Charlotte sang all 694 hymns out in the sunshine with a flute as help. Playing the organ to the chorales is the main music element i a church service. I have been a temporary employee for the German church (before 1999) and now in Rissne church, where there are many musical members, and sometimes you get comp from both bass and drums. I have played many instruments, but to play church organ is by far the most difficult thing!

I have many favorite psalms: the summer psalm: "The flower time now comes" (199), the advent psalm: "The day is coming" (122) and the baptismal psalm "Up of wild deep water" (386).

CSI No 263

October is here, and CSI  challenge for October is here...so let's play with my small mini photos from October 2017. See the CSI challenge in this link. 

I got inspirated of the grids and followed CSI traditional way to create the LO (colors, evidence, testimony). So here is my collage with the photos of the 15 first days in October 2017, I joined a group of people in PLin Norway in a project last year: to take a photo of an autumn word every day.
It's 2X2 photos and then I found a lot of autumn pictures on a cardstock, that I added:

I followed some of the CSI's colors, but I think I 

missed the yellow and grey one and added the redbrown.

I chosed these evidence:

Leaves, fruit, fall-themed elements, Numbers (in the photos you see number 1 to 15), animal, definitely : grid design (!)

I chosed this testimony:

put your journaling in a frame (a very small one though) and inspirated of the word "season" (autumn)

The journaling translated: "In PLIN (PL in Norway community), we inspirated all to take a photo of an autumn word each day in October. Here are the 15 first days. "

Some closer view of my LO:

Some of the things pop up a little, as you see above. 

And I also used 3 layers on one place (see above), I like to have the extra dimension. 

Above you can see that the 1st photo to the left was the word "autumn" so I took a picture of some nice colored trees, the  2nd days word was "inspiration" - I was inspirated of "Ali Edwards" web page this day. 

To make a grid like this is something I wanted to do for a long time, and today - it was a perfect opportunity to do that! The small October photos were just waiting for me.

Thanks for watching!

CSI No #262

When I saw that the CSI-challenge would be about animals (see link), I decided that I really must take some time to sit down and scrap about our lovely dog! The middle point in the family. Here is the LO:

I used all colors.

I used these evidence: floral print, stripes, dots, animals, flowers, leaves, hearts, layered stickers 

I used this testimony: write about our pet, and inspiration words used in the journaling: happy and darling

The inspiration picture from CSI is this lovely page:

Here are some evidences on a closer view:

Layered stickers, animals, flowers, dots, stripes

Animals, hearts, floral print, stripes, dots, flower. "Gullig" is the same as qute.

Flowers, leaves, layered stickers, animals, dots

Hearts, animals

Animal

Testimony: I tried quite a new idea of the journaling. As I like matemathic I made the title as a formula of our dog Billy. And then I used the footnote sign 1 and 2 above happiness and love and put that as journaling in the bottom part of the LO. (People who remember math formulas, might remember that the 2 above love could mean the square exponent, which I think really fits in well for "love".)

Translation:

1 Happiness: 

Billy give us so much joy and happiness. I am so happy to see the boys coming out from their sedantary activities (computer/ipad/phone) and starting to play with Billy. It could be to run in the garden or train tricks with treats. He not only give us happiness, but also new friends, who also have dogs. I become so happy to see BIlly play with other dogs, so much joy they have!

2 Love

Billy give us so much love. I never thought that such a shabby creature could make you so warm and in love - and get us all feeling so loved back. It's so relaxing to lay down and just have a cosy time in the evening, when he just layed down to rest. Everyone in the family would like to spend a little cosy time each, with Billy.

Thanks for watching!

CSI challenge no #261

Hi, I wanted to challenge myself in the funny CSI challenge no 261 (see link) and do a quite different LO in format 6X8 this time, and it was to tell my story about tech - with material from Ali Edwards.

Here is my LO:

And here is the mood board:

This time I didn' got so many evidence as I use to, I focused on the story. I am working as tech sales so the title tech was really good. But as I'm new at current job, I learn a lot and some days ago made a technical test and this test result I have hidden into the envelope (one of the testimonies in CSI challenge).

So how did I solve the case?

Colors: I think I caught some of the colors. 

Evidence: 

Solid white background, clips, envelope, hand-drawn elements, keys, 

Testimony: 

I wrote about my role as tech sales and how I now build up training material and lessons (=the inspiration word). I also wrote about my learning of my new job  and the certification I did last week. Then I did another testimony idea and put the journaling about the test score result from the certifiacation into the envelope.  

Here are some closer views of the evidence: 

The envelope and a clip.

If I open the envelope I can find my certification test score result.

Handdrawn frames and small lines and the journaling on a handwritten "like" "mobile phone"- note paper (from Ali Edwards). 

I think you could say that you can see some keys on this picture. Not sure what key is, but thought about keys on the keyboard and on the phone. 

So funny emballishment from the story kit about tech.
