GUEST DETECTIVES

Julia Heald

Hi My name is Julia and I've been scrapping for nearly 20 years now. I love documenting everything from my family, to the small things and more recently my puppy! Scrapbooking for me is the about memory keeping, a creative outlet but mostly, for me, a mindful outlet to de stress from the world.


Here's how Julia solved Case File No. 388: With this case file I was immediately drawn to the colours which reminded me of the new Sweet Rush collection. I've not been to any weddings recently but we did celebrate our 25th Anniversary in lockdown in 2020 so I decided to document it. I used flowers, layers, some small hearts, some tissue paper layers behind my photos for the transparent element and even some lemons. (This was definitely a life gives you lemons moment as instead of the big party we had planned we ended up on a day trip in the car!) The words fab, wow and mood reminded me of how good we felt being allowed to go for a drive and not "stay home" and the final element was to convert this and the details into invitation style journaling.


Lisa Watson

I'm Lisa Watson I have been scrapbooking for 20 years. Probably 14 years ago I became hardcore and scrapped every day. Back then I was able to design for multiple scrapbook stores. Including online and local store. I even was able to work with a small paper manufacturer, which was awesome. I also wrote in a quarterly scrapbook magazine that was available in local stores throughout Michigan. I had to take a break 10 years ago to start a business. In the past couple years have been able to start scrapbooking again consistently. Love the CSI challenges and try to participate every month. I'm happy to be guest designer this month. You can find me on Instagram @Pictures2pages



Here's how Lisa solved Case File No. 388: I loved this month's challenge. I couldn't use the color scheme on this layout. It was for a gender reveal party. I did use floral pattern, stripes, ruffles -doily, flowers, greenery, layers, hearts, scalloped border punch, circles, transparent -pink tulle ribbon and vellum.


INSPIRATION 

And now, are you ready for some serious inspiration? Here's what our design team and Guest Detectives created with this month's first Case File. We will share creations for our other Case File on the 15th of the month.





The CSI design team masterfully cracked the Case. We'll share how we solved the Case on Facebook and Instagram.
