FOR YOU BOY!!!!!

Heya! I am here with another Birthday card for a boy...... And this one was made for my Jijaji, who is celebrating his birthday on October 2nd.... That is surely an awesome day & historical too, as he is sharing his birthday with Mahatma Gandhi..... The Father Of Our Nation!!!!! May be it is totally a different feeling all together..... :P

CRAFT GOODIES from ELIZABETH'S CRAFT ROOM :)

Hello,

As I conveyed in my yester post, I am here to share with you the goodies I recently received from my inspiration to the Pro Card Making World...... I admired Elizabeth & her craft room for over a year & just following her projects & works, gave me the inspiration I required to really do my cards the PRO way.....

I was interested in card making from a very young age, but was an amateur who just drew over the cards or would just collage the pics I could lay my hands on.... pertaining to the occasions....

But following her works inspired me to do much better than what I did..... It gave me & my work a direction to walk on..... And yes! since then there was no looking back..... I have reached here, where I am today.... Peeps who come across my works appreciate them & look at them in a professional manner.... All Thanks to her..... Till date i visit her works & every time I visit her fills me with new enthu & ideas to work on..... She is one among the BEST, we have around.... A Thorough Professional....

And one day I see a mail from her asking for my snail mail ID..... And I was like what!!!!! Beamed with joy & wasted no time in sharing my happiness with my hubby..... He felt good that I was happy..... And few days later, just before me leaving for my trip to Ranchi, I received these goodies...... All I wanted was to just come back & use them all on my projects..... WOW!!!! Such was the excitement..... And that too they were all from Stampin' UP! that I have always dreamt of playing with...... :)

So here they are.....

An overview of the goodies......

These are the cards she made... Are they not simply adorable???? The bright colors, the pattern, the finish, are all very awesome & appealing..... I was so happy to have received her works too.... The ones I had been admiring for so long & all of a sudden they were on my hands, like it was magical..... :0 Thanks to all the means of transport & communication...... :)

There were mini stamps & ink pads, with a packet of brads, ATC sized sheets & ribbons too.... packed in three different colored packets, with a small hand written note from her... Neat & perfect gifts..... :)

Here they are...... I loved them for they were small & handy & perfect during traveling..... Handy mobile stuffs.... Do visit her craft room & I bet U would not be disappointed..... I can vouch for it.....

Now I am off to work on something.... Hope to be back soon with some new project.....

UNTIL NEXT, KEEP THE FAITH!!!!

DANCE TO THE MUSIC!!!!

Hello! Finally back creatively...... ;) But still not in complete senses I guess... Hence not satisfied with the result.... could be better..... But not bad for a start too..... ;) I have so many things to share with everyone..... But firstly wanna thank ALL, for their Love & Support extended so far..... :)

After much staring at my work place, with a blank mind, I finally sat down to work on a project.... It was difficult but I had to start somewhere.... Looked into few awesome challenges, decided on the ones I liked to work on & went ahead..... Here is what made to the FINAL :p

And I Thank......

Mojo Monday for their Sketch......
Color Throwdown for their lovely colors.....
Flutter By for their Butterfly with Buttons.....
My Time to Craft for jeweled on card.....
Crafty Creations for Music & Dance.....
Stamp Something for Spot & Stripes.....
Cute Card Thursday for their Tweet & Flutter.....

Modus Operandi:

Grey & Pink CSs for the base & paneled layers.....
DPs in pink from Pebbles & Making Memories.....
Little flower stamp, grey ink & Ribbon from Stampin'UP! gifted by Elizabeth, my INSPIRATION to Professional Card Making......
Flower with centered bling & Butterfly from Itsy Bitsy.....
Border Punch & Button fro my stash....
Made the tendrils for the flower from the scrap.....
Hand Written sentiment ....... Dance To The Music.....

Did the top of the card, inside of the card & an envelope by stamping repeatedly.....

As I said above I have several things to share..... Would write about the Elizabeth's gift in another post.....

Well! It is a time to be happy about my being in this blogosphere, where I got to know peeps with similar interests & amazing talents from my own country...... That makes me feel proud that I am an INDIAN!

Two ladies from the talented lot shared their TOFA (Token of Appreciation) with me... That kinda made my night & day as I received them at different times..... ;)

Shradda from Creative Kudi shared the trendy blog award.....

& Juhi from Juhis Handmade Cards shared her lovely blog award with me.....

That surely moved me.... Remembering me then, means a lot to me...... The thought that 'I was thought of' makes me go hm....hm....hm... Dance to the music..... ;)

It becomes very difficult to share them with just few... Because I am very bad with narrowing down my decisions..... Hence I request every single talented soul to accept the TOFAS & flaunt them on your space too..... Hugs)))))

That is it for now in this post..... Will come back with my next very soon.....

UNTIL NEXT, KEEP THE FAITH!!!!

BACK AFTER A BREAK!!!!!!

Hello All!!!! Thank You everyone for your wishes & sweet comments, till date.... I sincerely missed visiting all of you & your awesome works.... Thank God, I am back..... I am just trying to catch up with everyone, visiting them one by one..... ;) Phew! That is again so less time & so much to do....

Yes! I would be gone again.... These days I am just accompanying my hubby in his trips...... Oh! I love that too..... but..... I love this too & I miss working on projects & savoring all the other delicious works...... And after the break it is always difficult to get your mojo back...... It takes time & I hate it.... :(

But during my trip to Ranchi, I did take my traveling kit along.... :o I made instant cards for peeps I met & of course for my family there too.... I made cards for my nieces & nephew, for their teachers on Teachers Day! So thought till I get back with my normal life & my projects, would share them with u all..... I thank you once again for all the support & love......
Hugs to ALL )))))))

So here they are..... simple ones......I made envelopes to go with them, but forgot to capture..... :(

The stamps are from Hobby Ideas & Stampin' UP! And the inks are Pretty Color pigment ink in white & pink..... with silk thread in pink tied into a bow.....

So! That is it for now..... Will be back soon with some new projects..... Love Ya!!!!

UNTIL NEXT, KEEP THE FAITH!!!!!!
