TIME FLIES.... Planner/Calendar!

Hello...

Wishing everyone A Very Happy New Year..... :)

Well... On ICR was the time for a new coasteride... ICRCJan17 - Customize A Calendar!

An interesting one & U must check it out to give it a try.... Below is the story board for u....

And with me living by myself & taking care of my day to day stuffs myself which was forever taken care of by my husband, I am in need of an organizer to keep a track of things I need to do; It was easier when he took care of every damn thing & now to be done by me is exciting as well as a challenge for someone who never did anything..... All Thanks to him; Of course I wudnt have been able to get to this without his support.... So am loving & living this part <3 p="">
With the start of a New Year I had to put together a planner/calendar to keep my life in track so I did not miss on things which shud mean additional headache for my husband.... :P

With this ICR CoasteRide, I had to give it a go... And this is what i cud cook up in a jiffy!





My Brother helped me by designing the calendar for me which is but obvious the main for this project....

 

He then added in all those frames that I wanted on my planner..... Which has.....

On the Front.....

• To Buy/Order
• Awaiting On
• Notes
• Unfinished Tasks 

 At The Back.....

• Priorities
• Personal Tasks
• Outdoor Tasks
• Projects/Ideas

 <3 p="">And I just worked up on the rest putting them all into their place.....

<3 p="">Few things just dont end up the way they start & this planner was one among them..... I initially started with a folder kind of thing for my pages but unfortunately it did not work out well.... I had to leave that thing just there & start afresh with something simpler; When you begin with no experience you definitely not sure where you would end up in the go....

<3 p="">I then thought I wud just make folders for every monthly page with pockets which could help me tuck in stuffs as my bills & acknowledgements.....

<3 p="">After which I made the covers to hold my entire set up & ringed them with the binder rings I had since ages.... Was happy to have been bringing them into use finally :D

<3 p="">I then neatly put in all the folders & pages to accommodate all the months & realized I fell short of one folder for a month.... I had no more patience left to make another one hence tucked it into an already existing month.... :P 

<3 p=""> 

<3 p=""> 

<3 p="">{At d least I know where I went wrong with few things in the process}
<3 p="">If I did not try I wud never know until I die!

<3 p="">
For the locking system I used a strong button used on the denims & made use of the thin elastic twine I had in stash.... And VOILA! I was done...... :D
<3 p="">
<3 p="">It was time to put away all my other stuffs I used to jot down the routine & start using it....
<3 p="">
<3 p="">However, Just to share..... I had placed an order on etsy for a planner/calendar for a cost of Rs.4000/- even before I tried this..... What a waste! Anyways... Nothing new... Am popularly known to be one too.... :(
<3 p="">
<3 p=""><3 p="">So that's about my project for the January CoasteRide on ICR..... You may have your too... Bring them on & link it to the inlinkz right below the discussion of this ride at the ICR Forum.... Have Fun!
<3 p=""><3 p="">
UNTIL NEXT, KEEP THE FAITH!!!

Joy Filled Embossing Hop!

Hello,

Its time for another blog hop on ICR...
And our designer has chimed in a simple & cute theme to help us cook for year end celebrations.....  "Emboss Me Anything - Wet/Dry"

Hop along & create JUST ANYTHING with an embossing technique of your choice & occasion.....

Here is what I worked on for the hoppy hop.... Hope u like it :)

If u did & wanna hop to play along with us, then do drop by at ICR....

I have been inspired by a sketch from 
Fusion Card Challenge- Theme & Sketch

The card base is from Itsy Bitsy.... in Off white... Patterned Stripes
The layer above from Fabriano in Choco Brown....

It was a beautiful embossing technique I followed from the net.... Where one cud emboss with just any color they chose;

Just use any stamp of your choice.... 
Ink Press it into the versamark embossing ink pad & again re press it into an ink pad of any color you choose to use on your project... 
Once done then stamp the image on your project....
Now cover the image with clear embossing powder & then heat set it.....

Ta Da! You are done with an embossed image with a color of your choice without using the color embossing powders...... 

P.S. Not an invention of my own... Found it on Pinterest & You Tube; But lost the source as I had not saved the links :( Tried finding it back again, much... But in Vain!

Loved trying this new technique without having to use the embossing powder in a color I wanted.... You must give it a try!

After which I die cut a circle with my nestabilities circle die & managed to trim it in such a way that I just had only that part that wud seem like a wreath..... I then embellished it with few punched leaves & a die cute from Memory Box wreath die.... I cut it into pieces i wanted to cover my lil circle with to shape a convincing wreath....

I even used a mulberry rose from stash.... along with tiny gem stones in red to add a lil zing to the project!

To finish it used a sentiment from an Itsy Bitsy Stamp Set.... JOY....

That is pretty much of my simple project for the "Emboss Me Anything Wet/Dry" themed blog hop today....

Autumn Colors 4 Diwali!

Hello,

Towards the end of 2016 & this September on ICR with our New DTs on board.... We have a festive fed CoateRide for you peeps....

Here is the story board to it...

It's a festive mood board twist for Anything it can go with....

This is what I made....

Made this being inspired by a

Sketch from Paper Craft Crew....
Colors from Color Q....



Card base is a Kraft CS from Stampin' Up!
Layered on it is a Coffee Brown handmade paper... Used an embossing folder from stash to floral emboss it....
Layered above that is a scrap from stash.... in off white!
Once it was layered it seemed to my eyes as an insight to a room with a wall papered wall....
Once tht thot hit me, I just started building on tht....
Circle Die cut in turquoise was embossed with another embossing folder from stash & later punched out half circles from the same to shape it to a beautifully decorated Diwali Diya.....
Later I sprayed some copper glimmer mist on tht piece & let it dry completely... it gave that piece the required earthen feel....
I punched out another leaf shape for the flame in tango... orangish brown!
Punched out another circle & halved it for a tiny Diya...
& fuzzy cut a tiny flame out for it....
I then let it hang from the ceiling with the halved pearls from Itsy Bitsy...
To add on I stamped a halved circle doily image from My Minds Eye "Everything" set, so as to form an Indian Rangoli at the entrance to the Diwali decorated room....
Colored it with my camlin brush pens...
Finally completed it with a Happy Blessings sentiment from Unity Stamps....

So that was all about my project for ICRCOCT16....

Pls join us in creating your project & sharing it with us in the inlinkz at the discussion post....
Hoping to be back with the OCT 15th fortnightly Second set of DT Insight....

UNTIL NEXT, KEEP THE FAITH!!!
