CREATURES BIG & SMALL!!!!

Hello Everyone!!! Another fortnightly post... rather a creation in itself...... Have not been able to create much these days, but would surely try to...... :(

It was time for another challenge at ICR!!! Delayed by a day, 'cuz 16th of July was saved for the ICR MEET!!!! We had fun in tons!!!! All of us.... Gurgaon, Mumbai & Bangalore!!! Peeps who have checked out the snapshots would know.... An awesome Saturday for the crafters... It was full of excitement, anticipation & hope for a better crafty future!!!

And today the ICRC7 went live with a dash of FUN as always!!!! It is all about Creatures - Big & Small... ;) Here's the challenge pad for you.....

Not just that.... As always we have a combo too, but with a small twist to it..... The twist is to Add One of Each, creatures.... Big & Small!!!

This was totally inspired by those cute forwards circulated around, with loads of goodness in it.... Those very cute unusual friendships, that takes a long long time to set off among human beings... But that does not stop us from being inspired by these unusual captures.... Hence with friendship day around the corner, ICRC7, has all been inspired by these unusual bonding's..... And here is my inspiration..... :)

And I Thank.....

SOME VAGUE CONTENT!!!!

Hello Everyone!!!! No projects as such to post about...... just a few vague things, like a RAK & few recent findings..... I know everything sounds so lethargic..... I am still not back to my fluttery self..... hence just thought of clearing few things that I wanted to blog about since so many days....

Firstly a RAK from Ginger Brown of the very popular space for word arts.... Ginger's House!!!! Yes, she is sponsoring the current challenge (ICRC6) at ICR too..... :)

Some days earlier, she sponsored a 20$ Gift Certificate to TSB, out of kindness, which really moved me..... Hence I did shop at The Stamping Boutique... I shopped a digi & 2 rubber stamps..... Tracey from TSB, is one of my favorite digi artist..... She is way too good at what she does...... Thank You so much for the sponsored shopping time!!!!

So here is a glimpse of what I picked..... And she sent a lovely card along with the stuffs, created with a digi from her store.... I loved the neat lines on the creation..... Check it out yourselves!!!

Are they not cute??? Looking forward to creating with them soon..... :) Thanks a ton!!!!

HAD TO STOP FOLLOWING BLOGS!!!!

And just today as I tried following few blog spaces, I found out why was I not able to do it all these days..... My Following list had reached the max of 300... I was like OMG!!!! Seriously, freaked out..... Went back to my following list & managed to stop following some food spaces, which were out in action!!! I deleted some 25 spaces & that gives me some space for new blogs to be followed, but of course now related to crafts!!!! YUPPIE!!!!!

So my fellow crafters, here I come following, to be inspired!!!!

And this was an award, shared with me by my fellow crafter Hussena a few weeks back...... I would love to share it with anyone, who stops by & does not have it.... ('cuz most of them do... ;)

Today I have just been able to move around than being stuck to a place.... I should be back fluttering in another 3-4 days & promise to be back with some new projects that I have promised myself to work on...... See ya then!!!!!

UNTIL NEXT, KEEP THE FAITH!!!!

PINK ON PINK - EMBOSSED & INKED!!!!

Hello Everyone!!! Back with another creation after 15 days..... Seems a trend now with me..... I have just been creating fortnightly, which makes me sad many a times...... But I'm not hopeless! Still hoping to overcome it & I pray that I be successful in it..... :)

Again just an inspiration for the current challenge at ICR...... ICRC6!!!!

Just had no clue when the RAINS passed by & it was time to Create Pink!!!!

Yes! Very soon the ICR gallery would be painted pink & even imagining it makes me PINK! ;)

THE CHALLENGE : Pink on Pink - Monochrome Project!!! (Neutrals of Cream & White are okay, but NO BLACK!!!)
