For the love of Apps

I had such big plans for National Scrapbooking Day, but oh I’m so easily led.  The sun came out to play this weekend, and that meant my garden was calling me.  Still, I did manage to pop my head into the CounterfeitKit Challenge Blog and checked out their sketches and also one of the case files, they had from the amazing CSI : Color, Stories, Inspiration site. 

So yesterday evening I bought my “kit” down and scrapped while watching the tv.  Normally, I’m forever running back up to my craft room to get something just right for a layout, but only being able to use the kit, certainly made me focus. 

I used this lovely sketch from the site

And this case file

And here’s what I came up with

I honestly, don't know if I'm doing it right LOL.  But I used the colour scheme (best, I could), dots & stripes and buttons from the evidence file; handwriting broken up in different places, as requested in the testimony. But even if I've not done it quite right, I had fun, so that's all that matters really.

The layout is all about one of my all time favourite apps … I’m addicted to my iphone, totally 100% … I’m forever checking out instagram (another obsession) on it, and playing with different photo apps.  A while back I found one called Toast .. it allows you to add filters to the photos you take and change them completely! I just love it. 

Anyway, the photos show the view from our kitchen at the little house, I just never get bored of looking at it, and photograph it constantly … hence the need for more photo apps J

So thank you Counterfeit challenge, you’ve got me hooked on you

Now that's a gadget!

Ok, I'll hold my hand up, I'll admit it, I'm a gadget girl.  I always say it's my husband that is obsessed with gadgets, but when it comes to crafting, I'm just as bad.  And this latest one, well, it's just perfect.... and even better, I can use it on my other favourite gadget.    It's from Bazzill, and it's an app for my iphone - it's so cool, really it is.  You can choose from one of your photos already taken, or take a new photo and then off you go ... match your Bazzill!! I love it .. ok, it's not the same and the touchy feely bit of picking Bazzil, but it sure is clever.

This weekend, I've been having a wonderful time over on UK Scrappers with their cyber crop, I've not done anywhere near as some have, but those classes, I have taken have been so much fun - I'm sure I'll add elements into future layouts, that's for sure.
