Pre Crop Challenges

How I came to join the FBI

One morning I was looking around on UKScrappers  feeling at a bit of a loss scrapbooking wise, since finishing the Christmas Journal . I wondered why there were lots of people with the FBI for their avatars,  I found my way to the forum and there was this post about the Cyber Crop and  I click on register instead of something that explained what it involved and there I was, I had joined the FBI.

   

The first task was to create a Bookmark,

I made this on the Cricut and decorated it with a small evidence bag,

( Manila envelope)  and the FBI logo,

For each task completed you added  single Do’nut to your signature. I ended the Cyber crop with 21 Do’nuts and not a calorie in sight .

 

 

The next challenge was to take your finger prints to eliminate you from the investigation, I used Versa Mark Ink and the embossing powder so as not to have grubby fingers, The baby hand prints were from Google Images as I could not bring myself to ink Nathaniels hands just yet as they are always in his mouth anyway, We did not need a poisoning to investigate.

 

 

Next task was to make a body tag again cut on the Cricut Machine

 

Unusual Suspects

 

This was fun to do I got Roger DH to stand in the bath so I could have the White tiles behind him and to pull a suspicious face he had to bend his knees to avoid the mosiac stripes.   My DD2 does not like this picture of her daddy she says its scary  and she's 30.

 

The next challenge had us adding the finger print to the Usual suspect LO.

  

 I had to make something using eyelets so it became and ID card.

 

 This was a challenge to make evidence bags I did a few  and added some evidence. The little plastic one just had a label printed with FBI on . The large Manila one was taken for Google Images from an advert for real evidence bags, with the text recreated and printed on. You can find just about any thing on the internet.

I choose to do the Planner Swap and Ummed and Ahhred about   the Mystery Kit   it was due to be launched  on a workday  evening at 19:00 which is shift handover time  when I have to be logged out for the next shift to log in. I decided it was a non starter, but later that evening  I logged on to see if they had all gone and as there were some left I bought one after a few teething troubles and lots of other stash from Scrap Shed,  very speedy service was with me less than 24 hours after I paid.

 

The Mystery Kit comprised of sheets of 12 x12 from Rusty Pickle  in Red and Black and White, a sheet of stickers and ribbons buttons and Silver stars,  Book rings and tags.
