What is CSI – Colors, Stories, Inspiration?   CSI is a scrapbooking challenge that inspires you to try new colors schemes and to tell your stories. The Case Files provide inspiration that will get you thinking about scrapbooking in a whole new way – AND get you thinking of Maja Design in a whole new way as you try and solve the case and the challenge using all the Maja Design collections.

A new Case File opens for investigation the first, second, and fourth Friday evenings of each month at 6:00 p.m. EST. Come join the Maja Creative Team, the CSI Design Team and CSI members in a live chat every reveal night!

Jennifer’s cat, Escape Kitty, is her lovely assistant today to solve the case.

First – Jennifer chose Vintage Summer Basics collection to help with the color palette.   She used Vintage Summer Basics sheet 1903 and 1935 ( sides “A” and “B”) as her backgrounds

Next Jennifer and her kitty chose 3 elements from the evidence list to solve the case;

• she added leaves
• scallops in the doily dies
• wood with the piece of birch bark she added

On to the testimony section of the challenge.   Jennifer’s inspirational word is  “companion”.   Her journaling is hidden using a journal tag she created as see below.   The tag read’s ” My Sweet Kitty Companion- Your favorite thing to do it to run out of the house and hide in the bushes pretending to be a “big game” hunter.  Sneaky litte Kitty. “

Here are some additional close ups.  This photo really shows the dimension added by using a pierce of birch wood bark.  It has been adhered to the page by gluing a piece of cardboard to the back of the bark.

Don’t forget to upload your artwork to our Facebook page as well so the entire Maja Family around the world can see how you solved the case and can admire your art.
