I JUST CALLED..........

Hello!!!! It had been quite sometime since I really sat down to work on a project for challenge.... I am actually engrossed with so many other things on hand.... A project, which I was trying for the 'First' time & another major thing, which I was again not only trying for the first time but doing it all by myself.... Basically everything is just trial & error..... :) Just keeping fingers crossed, to see them really work..... :)

Pay it Forward.........

Pay It Forward

I just joined in a fab game over at Mansi's blog http://creativevisionbymansi.blogspot.com/2011/01/pay-it-forward.html
And this is how it goes:
I promise to send something handmade (a card) to the first five people who comment on this post.
However, there's a catch. You must post this, offering something handmade to five other people.
The rules state that it must be something handmade or homemade by you and needs to be sent to five other people during 2011.
If you'd like to join in the fun, then be the first to post a comment and something handmade or homemade will be coming your way at some point this year.
Isn't that cool?
So lets see what we can do!
Come play!
I will contact the first five by email for your snail mail address.

BLISSFUL BIRTHDAY!!!!

Hello People.... Thankfully could make a project on time... Lots of creations based on this weeks Card Pattern Sketch, doing rounds... Hence wanted to attempt one too....

I had not planned it this way when I started, but unknowingly I cut my CS in a way such that I could not proceed with what I planned.... Once cut, could not do a thing.... U may say, I could have changed the CS, but that was the last piece I had in this color.... :(

Sometimes you just get fixed!!!!!

Well! Here it is.....

FLASH BACK FRIDAY 6.0

Heya!!!! Have been doing nothing much so far.... Hence no new projects as such.... But I had to play & post this one challenge that I wanted to participate in.... It was a simple one, where we had to just blog about a past project or rather the first project we blogged which included something from around the house..... Is it not easy & fun too.... So, I did not wanna miss it.... It was in my mind since so many days, but as usual I only wake up the last moment.... So with still some time left, I thought, now, that was it!

Well the author of the blog, took the opportunity to start off with a dedicated blog for the challenge.... FlashBack Friday Challenge!!!! That was an alarm for me to POST NOW!!!!

And with this Amy, the author of the blog, hosts an interesting & yummy giveaway too.... What more could I ask for??? Fun! Fun!& More Fun!!!! :) Details here......

So here I am.....

This was posted in the month of march, previous year.... Under the Title Thank You!!!!

It was those days when I had just started off with my card making, with a PRO approach.... Well I did not have stuffs for it though! I had to use an embellishment for the center of the flowers.... I did not have any brads... I looked around & I found this small package of some leftover thermocol balls, that were lying around from some gift packing I did....

It really sailed me through with many of my projects..... Thanks to the light that lit up in my head then, TINK! ;)

Once I used them here, there was no stop, till I could find better substitutes.... I have more stored in a box.... Looking forward to use them all.... Someday, somewhere ;)

As I said above it goes to Yvonnes challenge @ FlashBack Friday Challenge blog.....

Hope to be back with some new projects this month.....

UNTIL THEN, KEEP THE FAITH!!!!!

HAPPY BEGINNINGS!!!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!! It is already another year, past two days :( Time seriously flies..... I really hope things would be better & best for all of us here & everywhere.... May our Creativity step up, with days passing by..... Love & Happiness to ALL!!!!!

So here is my first post for this year.... with this new Baby cad for my hubby's friend.... He is such a gem.... He lives in Delhi & I wish him & his lovely wife a lot of happiness as they really deserve it.... Hugs))))
