TCC {WEEKLY CHALLENGE - SKETCH CHALLENGE}!!!

Heelo!!! Back here with a new project made for The Crafter's Cafe!

But before I go ahead with the project I would like to tell ya something......

As I have ranted earlier, which I'm sure no one read other than a couple of crafters, regarding me not able to FOLLOW BLOGS, any more than 300, fortunately found a way still, to keep a track of the ones I love & the ones I wanna follow...... Though I'm unable to OFFICIALLY FOLLOW their blogs {for which I ought to delete few that I've been following}, I can still subscribe to you to FOLLOW YOUR WORKS...... Through Google Reader!!!

I'm so happy & content now.... That has helped me extend not only my knowledge but also has helped me to keep up with the works of my fellow crafters here in India..... :D I'm so so happy about that.....

I am in no way ARROGANT or ANTAGONISTIC! I just had my issues with my BLOGGER SERVICE... :(

Tejal had lemme know about Google Reader, long long ago..... But for me the kind of a person I am, who abides by a "PATTERN", Until I find a way out, myself, it becomes hard for me to just follow something.... I am able to do it only when I KNOW IT!

May be it is not that very nice, but that's how God has made me to be.... :D

So THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS THAT "I'm totally HAPPY to be able to keep up with ALL OF YOU"..... Thank You All for being a part of this blogland!!!!

Now moving further, this month TCC has weekly challenges..... Here is their second week which is a SKETCH CHALLENGE sponsored by our generous sponsors...

{KINDLY DO NOT LOOK TOO DEEP INTO THE PICTURE.... VERY OLD ONE.... NOT TOO CLEAR.... TOO TIRED AFTER A LONG LONG NUPTIAL TRIP}

The Prep :

I made into a photo album.... slight variation to a regular 2 fold card......

Dark Pink CS from Fabriano for the base & layered panel.....
Light Pink CS from Fabriano for the framed panel.....
White CS from Fabriano to mat the DP from Making Memories which was a RAK from B....
The dark pink & light pink DPs are from Echo Park Be Mine Collection.....
Sewed around on the panel.....
Colored the Smoochie digi image from TSB with Bic Markers.....
Paper Pieced the window shutters & her lengthy locks....
Sentiment is a sticker from Landmark.....
Button, bling & golden twine from stash.....
Paper Roses from stash.....
Pink Pearls on the flap was a RAK from B....

INSIDE :

Negative of the spellbinders to frame the picture...... So that makes it a card but not a card creation..... :D

I was so impressed with something new I tried... Variation to the regular card base with an addition of an album space on the inside.... Can be gifted to friends & family with a picture..... How Cute!!!! Impressive!!!

If that is inspiring in any way, do lemme know... :D

And do not forget to join us at TCC in this OFF BEAT Sketch Challenge!

Off to work on my pending TO DO projects.... Phew!

UNTIL NEXT, KEEP THE FAITH!!!

BACKLOGS - MY ATCs!!!

Hello Everyone!!! As I said in my earlier post, I'm here to post & share my ATCs with you.....

To begin with here are my ATCs made for the month of MAY 2011.... Themed Birds & Animals!

I loved the theme way too much.... No wonder I was so happy & contended to the core with my ATCs.... I truly love them because I make them with all my love & passion & mostly I give them my time..... I want them TO BE ME at the end of the day..... ONE & ONLY!

So here they are....

Punches, free hand & stamps involved..... on both the above as well as the one below.....

And here below are the ATCs I made for the month of OCT 2011..... For the first ATC (India) held on THE Indian Craft Room....... :D

Themed Festive Greetings!

I made Diwali ATCs..... On the one above... I made an origami Indian Lantern & adhered it on the hand drawn BG.... I love the serial bulb lighting more... They really glow... :D

And this one was the first I made among the two.... And when I started off with it, the only thought I had in mind was Crackers for Diwali..... So this is what I came up with....

A CHAKRI cracker in action.....

I used a part of a floral stamp for the center.... Just stamped the straight line stamp from Technique Tuesday, repeatedly to give the bigger & well lit sparks which were embossed with golden embossing powder. And the rest are all free hand creations.... I doodled the smaller sparks with the golden gel pen & completed by distressing the white BG with black ink to give it the feel of THE NIGHT!!!

I hope you like them too..... :D

Will be back soon with a fresh project made for TCC!

UNTIL NEXT, KEEP THE FAITH!!!
