ICRSS02 - "MASTANI" TIME!!!

Hey!

Am back & this time it is for a Scrappy Lay Out (LO) created for ICR to go with the revamped scrapbook series for the year 2016... And I have loved the idea of playing with my scraps ever since I was introduced to art of scrapbooking to create something to keep :) 

And scrapping! be it an album of any size or just individual pages to form a book by the end... its all just fun.... And thankfully the new scrapbook series for 2016 rightfully began to help me find my scraps back....

So here goes my first LO for the year long fun....



And my project is for the month of February for the year long fun is ICRSS02!

And this is the story board to it....

I was inspired by the sketch on ICRSS02...
AND picked on the colors & themes from CSI : Case File No.191



Since I was away from home with no supplies & had to desperately create something ASAP... went to the local craft store & picked up few supplies.... Of which DIY Album was one... which got me a page to work on being the BG....

Stamped a FILM REEL with G Studio stamp repetitively to create a cute lil BG to suit my theme....
Layered the pic of my niece with her PVR Popcorn bucket to kinda frame it & adhered it on the stamped BG....
I just wanted it all to go with the theme & hence thought of using popcorn for embellishment....
Made few popcorns with artist paper which was flexi enough to fake them convincingly :D
My mom so loved the way they turned out to be... I was happy with self too.... I cud achieve what I had wanted & with very lil hassles....
Added few sticky notes around as embellishment as well as a title piece to my story....
Stamped another stamp on the lower right end to go with the sketch yet sticking to the theme....
And finished it off with my journaling of the moment....

Definitely the day when my 2 yr old niece was introduced to Mastani & Malhari & Pinga.... 3 of her favorite dance nos. from recent times.... She loves to hear them watch them & sway along with them... She recognizes them from anywhere around.... AS MASTANI PINGA & MALHARI.... :D Those actors have those as their nicks now from Dhee's point of view.... not knowing their original names.... The way the sleeping baby woke up to the tune of "MASTANI DIWANI" & how she still does is always so adorable & helped me frame it for her to keep it as her adorable memory of her lovely childhood....

Love u my baby.... <3 amp="" font="" forever="" now="">



And that is all of my Story as an ICR Story Scrapper for 2016 Scrapbook Challenge Series :D

Hoping to have u peeps joining us in the fun too.... All Year Long......

UNTIL NEXT, KEEP THE FAITH!!!

SCRAP INDIA FEST{2012} - ISICR11!!!

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!!!!

SCRAP INDIA FEST{2012} - ISICR1!!!

Heya! Back again.....

Indian Crafters are officially Scrapping now..... Where? ON ICR......

ICR launched its official scrapping club, for Indian Crafters..... And since this was just the beginning & a very new concept to many, we wanted to keep it simple so crafters can learn the skills at a slow pace..... And the SCRAP INDIA FEST {2012} commenced this JANUARY......

Here is the challenge pad for the month of January along with my inspiration & LO for that month...... DARE : Use Swirls....

Since I was just back from my Vaishno Devi trip, I thought I would make use of the freshness of my vacation..... But I did not quite like the way the LO, turned out..... :(

I love the family picture though..... :D
Recycled the tassels from my hubby's EDT!
Journaling was printed out on the back of a handmade DP from RTO..... {Reliance Time Out}
Used the nuts for the props as they were a part of the prasad.....


And here is the challenge pad for the current month..... FEBRUARY!

DARE: Add Tags

And below is my inspiration for this month...... And I simply loved the way it turned out..... More because I got an opportunity to add a spotlight on Kuku... {My Hubby}.... After all it is our month of togetherness.... :p

Used all those DPs I had picked up from Itsy Bitsy long back & had not used.....
I love SCRAPPING for the simple reason it gives me the PERFECT OPPORTUNITY to use up ALL MY SCRAPS!!!
Tag was from Itsy bitsy....
And the die cut hearts were also picked from Itsy Bitsy.... Just doodled on them..... to give it a dimension..... And I loved the way it spotlights my hubby....

I simply cherish these memories & SCRAPPING gives us the scope to do it the FUN way!!!

Sending this to
