Hey, everybody! Have you heard about Scrap Academy? CSI Detective Emilie Chamel just started this exciting project, and she and Emily Rumble, another CSI Detective are both Scrap Academy Teachers, along with a host of other talented scrappers.

Here's what Scrap Academy is all about:

If you want to take your scrapbooking to the next level, want to learn the tricks of the trade or you just started scrapbooking and need some help then you are in the right place.
This free group is here to share the knowledge, tips and techniques of advanced scrapbookers with you all.

It is open to all scrapbookers of all levels and will focus, on a weekly basis, on a different topic, skill or trouble shooting solution.

Take a look at all the phenomenal scrappers that will be sharing their talent and expertise.

I'm excited to learn from this talented group of ladies! Be sure to join the Scrap Academy Facebook group so you can be a part of this wonderful learning experience!

Rona Mallard

How Rona solved the Cold Case: Evidence used was damask pattern (the white background paper), stripes, vintage/retro, a doily, a border punch (I scraplifted Julie Taylor's March layout idea!! So cute), metal accent - (oven mitt brad), kitchen/food items, i didn't use stickers with children but the cute little red head in the picture should totally count lol. I used stickers that had never been opened. I created a collage of photos and designed around it. I used bright and muted shades. I mixed textures, stacked elements and used circles.

And the CSI Detectives masterfully cracked the Case.
