ISICR 3

Oh woow...again a month over and I have another new creation to talk about for the Scrapping Challenge at ISICR 3!!!

I have done a very simple LO for a sweet member of my family- PLUTO!!! Please have a look....


Pluto is no more with us but he still lives in our heart.....we have got another pup after him to join our family Coffee and though she resembles him alot they do not match in nature at all.....He was calm and she is a violent tigress!!! hehhehe

Anyways the challenge was to use a newsprint in any form and I decided to use them in the PP and embellishments....I dont think the light prints on the PP on the middle part of the LO is even visible but the flowers made of torn old books is definitely visible....I brushed the cut flowers with shellac first to make them more sturdy so that their curls could be prominently shown....and I was definitely successful in that....

I have knowingly kept the LO very very simple to the core as it was more about my lost family member than the decor or style....and just hope you all appreciate it....

Cya till mt next post

Liebster Blog Award

TEJAL -what can I say about her....she is my everyday chat buddy...heheh we dont need to call an fix a time to catch up nor do we need to figure out a silent place where we can chat for long hours ...nor do we have to wait in the traffic to meet each other....we just "PING" and we are there for each other....yess we are rocking BBM friends !!!

Am honoured that she thought of me for this award ....am always in awe of her work and she is ever ready to help with all my queries and doubt about stamping techniques.....Love You Teja!!!


The idea of the Liebster Blog Award is to spread the love from one small blog (under 200 followers) to other small blogs. This helps to spread knowledge and readership.

To accept the award, you must:
1) Link back to the person who gave it and thank them for thinking of you.
2) Post the award to your blog.
3) Give the award to 5 bloggers (with less than 200 followers) that you appreciate and value.
4) Leave a comment on the blogs of the five people you have chosen to let them know. 



Thanks to you all who have inspired me in some way or the other.....and keep crafting the way you do....

Love you Teja for all your love.....

Album Galore 2

Firstly, let me thank all of you who registered for the Scrappy Swap and hope that all have received their respective partner mails from my end...in case someone has not please let me know ASAP....:)

Now lets come to this post ....I did another Album on "First Anniversary" on order ...and my challenge was to try and keep it as different from the first one as anyone would and second to try things that would be new for me as a crafter !!!


I had a tough time designing the cover pages!!! phew!!! And I love that border punch from Lulupu-The Craft Lounge  on the extreme left.....and my Alphabet stamp set from CTMH in those banner shapes ..


I put the couple's photograph inside the fold card and as you can see put around 6-7 small tags for personal messages....add some border punch again from Karuna's store to give a house like feel with the sentiment "Bless this Nest"....something essential for a newly wed couple ...:)

 The Inside view...


The Tags showing themselves off...heheheh

 The second wedding photograph has been covered with a nice silver vellum sheet...to give that wedding feel....and for the first time I tried my hands with shimmer mists from Aditya's Store...he has some really amazing stuff in his store and am a regular there ...some real affordable prices for a lot of products and yess I do trouble him a lot with a whole lot of mails with queries and he has some patience to answer all of them ...that too with great prompt ....Thanks Aditya


Closer look at the shimmer mist effect...


Closer view of the tags ...sprinkled some mist on them too for a wholesome look and feel...

The beautiful couple....


Have kept this space as simple as possible as I wanted the photograph  to speak for itself!!!

 Again the mist from Aditya's store ....here i first stamped a heart swirl and then sprinkled water over it ...then stamped it with the tag stamp and the sentiment and then sprinkled the shimmer mist...yess that did wash out the sentiment a bit but that was not an issue ...I traced it back with a sketch pen of the same colour as the ink...and believe me I loved the washed out effect a lot...


A simple pocket LO

Another view .....the copperish effect you see on the background of brown paper is also a mist effect from Aditya's store

 I like this colorful page ...as I felt Kavya was a very chirpy and bubbly girl even after marriage...so have kept it bright and vibrant...

Yess I tried the telescopic technique here for the second photograph but with only one layer ....



Tags again


As this was the vacation and trip page..I knew one wants to add a lot of experience and anecdotes related to the trip so decides to add the photographs through a mini wallet card and lot of space beside to write the experience ....

Have a look at the inside.....

And here are the photographs with still more space for writing messages!!!


Cute ...Fun....disco colored page....I just loved the PP....

I love dollies .....hehehehe...


A Pinky Pinky page!!!

I love giving space for messages ....


Simple LO...
Last Page.....and below are the bound combo pages!!!









Hope you all liked the album!!! Do leave your comments, feedbacks and suggestions....They help me grow and improve my work ....:) cya till my next post

Album Galore 1

 Hellos...everybody...hope you guys are registering soon for the Scrappy Swap and are also spreading the word across to your friends....more the people ...more the fun...so spread the word fast and soon as the registrations close on 17th March!!!!

Have not shared a lot of my projects on my blog due to lack of time and busy schedule...but today I took out time to finish this long pending task at hand!!! heheheh....never mind I just hope you all like it and let me know your opinions on the same!!! This was my first "First Anniversary Album" order....have a look ...

 


This is the cover page ....have kept it simple and in tandem with the wedding feeling ....


The pages as you progress ...you will notice every page has a different feel and mood to it....my aim was to hold true to the feelings and emotions depicted in  the photographs...hope I was able to do so....:)....

I love  this page for its PP layered effect....
 

 A Close Up....enough tags to write a personal message


The inside view .....

This tag here actually gave me ideas to create Bookmarks on the similar theme ....


I love this page too for the cute birds and the house stamp with the sweet words "Bless This Nest"....


Lovely photograph and I like the feel...thanks to the maple punch too..hehehehe...


Am in love with this PP from DCWV.....have a similar one coming up in the next Album....hehehhe


Ohhh my favourite charms ...hanging around....

This page has got a lot of appreciation from my friends on FB and my fans on my FB Page....I guess they got mesmerised by the color scheme and the feel...

As this was a winter time travel of the couple....I used crotchet flowers ...hehhe I know maybe a stupid and silly way of symbolising the winters ...but whatever....

I tried doing a round trip...I mean cover page with their wedding and the last page summarising the complete one year ....:)


Below you can see the binded version and the combo pages :)








Hope you all liked it....Cya till my next Post...
