Hello Everyone!
I am back at TCC after a long ,long time..... :(
My chores kept me away with designing for TCC.... But thankfully now I think & hope, I can be active again as its Designer as well as being on the TCC EVENT TEAM! There are many things lined up for the month of December.... Their Open House is recurring this year too with more added fun.... So be sure to watch the space for deets to it!
But as of now let us carry on with the CCCB monthly challenge - They just ask you to create anything thankful/THANK YOU!
And here is my inspiration for the same this week..... Week 2!
And I thank few other dares that helped me create this.....
Feeling Sketchy for their Sketch...
Dynamic Duos for their color combo.....
Heart2Heart Challenges for the theme similar to that of us on TCCB....
The Prep :
Rose Colored CS for the BG from Fabriano....
The DP is from SU!
Pinned holes around on the DP for an accented effect!
Grooved the lines near the sentiments on the DP....

Hello Everyone!!!
OMG! I just realized I had not blogged my scrap LOs I made through out the year for the SCRAP INDIA FEST{2012}.... And even realized I had escaped few months in between & now since we are at the DEAD END, I ought to hurry with few pending LOs too..... Phew!!! Am gonna be a DEAD MEET by the Year End.....
Life has been so hectic off late..... My moving, my illness(that takes your time too), my orders, my family, my neighbors, my moods, my community, my this , my that..... EVERY BIT OF THESE have been keeping me tight with my schedules.....
Am literally YEARNING for a FREE MIND so I can simply RELAX & say to myself.... "Aah! I have got nothing to do..... " & look out for something afresh to keep me engaged..... WHEN WOULD THAT HAPPEN????? God you are listening????? Helloooooooooooooooo..................
I know YOU are & very soon I would have MY TIME.... After all I am YOUR FAVORITE!!!
Okay I guess that is enough for an outlet to my feelings right now.... lets get down to business again.....
So here is the ELEVENTH MONTH OF SCRAPPING at the SCRAP INDIA FEST{2012}!!!
Here is the challenge pad for the month of November along with my inspiration & LO for that month......
DARE : Geometric Shapes!
Those were the only set of photographs i have in hand.... The ones from my Vaishno Devi trip..... Hence this FIRST PERSONAL ALBUM of MINE is all dedicated to that trip..... :D
And I thank CSI case File No. 44 for the lovely colors that adorn my LO.....
The Sketch from ICR & the Colors from CSI got my LO all pepped up..... :D
1) CS in Teal for the base is a RAK from B....
2) Sunny Yellow CS for the layer is from Fabriano....
3) Picture is from my Vaishno Devi Trip in the month of December, 2011.....
4) Bigger Sized doily at the BG picked up from a local market..... They are simply called as PAPER MATS here.... :p
5) Circle Swirls are the Round & Round Stamp from Inkadinkadoo.....
6) Since my main motive is to use my scraps for my scrap pages, you can see them around... The Triangles as per the DARE on ICR are scraps from a year pile.... Same goes with the orange bordered accent on the top.... Same with the stamped sentiment "I'm nuts about you", a scrap from a year long pile.... Swirl punched out accent is another scrap from around.... And the piece of burlap too.... The round in cream is the protective layering of an ICR price tag.....
7) Stenciled the negative of the fancy swirl die cut... Just brushed some ink through it & loved the impressions it made.... Subtle ones!
That is pretty much all for the November month of Scrapping.....
It is the DEAD END & I request all the participants to hurry up with their pending LOs for the Year 2012..... After all it would be satisfying to see a self made album for YOUR FAMILY.... :D
After all... Handcrafting albums on ORDER, for the WORLD is just not satiable.... We LOVE & LIVE it only when we have handcrafted them for OUR OWN SELVES..... MARK MY WORDS!!!
UNTIL NEXT, KEEP THE FAITH!!!!
Hello All!!!
Almost clinging on to the last few breaths the year 2012 is breathing..... And it makes me nervous to realize we are about to lose yet another year of LOVE, CARE, LOSS, DISTANCE & many many 'such strong EMOTIONS' that the year has BLESSED or LEFT us with.......
The Year means many such emotions to all of us & I have kinda started developing an abstract feel towards 2012, where it is personifying itself to me.... Main reason may be that I moved home from Bangalore to Ranchi.... FAR from my parents but NEAR to my in Laws.... OMG! It is true.... Tears glazed my eyes as I punched these words...... Aaah! I get it....
Okay! Good to go now......
So with November rolling in, we have another "OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE" task with ICRC23..... And all thanks to Bhavana Kesarkar who raked up this idea without which I would have NEVER EVER attempted this bizarre Paper Crafting Method!
Let's see if anyone else dittos me on that.....
So here goes the Challenge Deets for you..... :D
And here is my inspiration for the same.....
I would like to thank Fab Friday for the simple sketch which helped me work my thoughts on this creation......
The Prep :
Choco Brown CS for the base from Fabriano.....
DP for the layer was a RAK from B.... Just rounded the corners on their opposite sides.....
DP in green was picked up from Landmark which I quite loved & finally found a nice way to use a lil of it..... :p
Traced the heart shape on 2 DPs & cut them out diagonally for diamond shapes..... Traced another heart on a CS for the base & glued the required pieces, all down on that base..... After which I ran my Jenome for the first time with the Zig Zag option which turned out quite neat.... And you know neatness makes me happy & proud......
Now that I did it once, DIL MAANGE MORE!!!
Added small rhinestones at all intersections to add the ZING THING to my project.....
Finally punched out the printed sentiment with SU! label punch.....
At the end something I felt amiss... hence doodled the dots for accented corners.....
That is it about my project..... :D
And I would also like to share that ICR is hosting the CELEBRATING CHILDHOOD EVENT 2012, for the kids of ICRians...... It has a lovely theme so very apt for the younger kids who get to proudly flaunt their innocent 'present career choice'..... So go ahead & get your kids to work on that as they celebrate their DAY on NOV 14th as CHILDRENS DAY!!!
There are many other events planned too..... Much to your liking's.... So do keep a watch @ ICR, & play on as to not let them pass.....
Happy Everything!!!
UNTIL NEXT, KEEP THE FAITH!!!
Moxie Fab World for its Tuesday Trigger..... I was inspired by the colors & elements
