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!!!

BACKLOGS - FEW RECENT RAKS & ATCs!!!

Heya Peeps!!!

Not here to post any of MY PROJECTS, but this post is to share few recent RAKS I received & few months old, ATCs..... The ones I received for the respective months.....

And receiving beautiful works from fellow crafters is an AMAZING FEELING in itself..... I know the entire world agrees with me on this..... :D

So without further delay, let's check them all out ONE BY ONE!

Firstly here is a RAK I received almost a month back from one of my fellow crafters..... Priya Sivaraj!

Many of us know her & she is very popular for her DIAMOND CARD CREATION ON ICR.... And she made it as the Guest Designer on ICR for the same creation..... I wish her the very best in all her future endeavors too.....

So here is what she sent me..... It was a pleasure surprise for me..... Hard to express how I felt & still feel about it!

That is a beautiful creation & I loved all the accents I received with it...... Thank You Priya!

And this beautiful card came to me on Diwali from Lucy! And I was like :O.... Totally unexpected & stunning, all the way from GOA! Moved me to the core...... She is ONE QUIET CRAFTER.... All to herself with her passion for card making.... She has a unique style, very different from all of us..... She keeps it very low..... :D

And yes not to forget she was ONE of those few crafters who subscribed to this space & my works, when I made a start with blogging my creations {which were very amateurish}..... And I'm very thankful to her for her generosity.... God Bless her with loads of happiness, in her life...... :D

I keep wondering if I deserve the love & affection that I receive from you peeps..... But I promise myself to live up to it..... :D

Aah! That was some MOMENT! And Thank You both for gifting it to me..... :-*

Now to the Pending ATCs from the past......

Here is the first one..... Waiting to be posted since 4 months.....

Yes, They were the ATCs from the month of May! WOW!

And I received them from Vaishali Sabnani & Khushboo Rathi....... {Respectively}
May ATC was themed Birds & Animals..... And they totally justified their creations with such variations..... DO check out ALL the creations for the theme HERE!

And before I throw some light on these creations, I would like to let u know that ATC(India) has a new House! Yes it is being played on ICR with such gr8 zeal & enthu by our very own Rachana, who made ATCs possible for us, here in India.... I've been grateful to her for this thought & move......

These creations posted above were the ones I received from Jovita {Thank You so much for the Pie Lane Sticker u attached to it} & the other is from none other than our Rachana herself... :D for the month of OCT 2011..... I was delighted to see that miniature from our hostess!!!

Thank You both for making such delightful miniatures marking the celebrations of Diwali 2011!!!

So DO JOIN US to play your ATCs on ICR!

That is it for now.... Will be back soon with my ATCs... :D

UNTIL NEXT, KEEP THE FAITH!!!

TCC {NOVEMBER DIGI DAY - SPARKLE & SHINE CHALLENGE}!!!

Heya.... Everyone!!!

Thanks to ONE & ALL, who manage to stop by my blog to leave a word of love & appreciation.....

I would also take this opportunity to let you all know of a small problem I have..... I have issues with my BLOGGER & the PRIMARY EMAIL associated to it..... :(

My BLOGGER does not lemme follow blogs more than 300...... {That pisses me to the core! but I do not seem to figure a way out to it}

And my primary email is also screwed.... Excuse the WORD! But the meaning remains so.....

I have an AOL ID which is a total waste as it does not lemme send out mails..... And here on blogger it does not allow me to change my primary email to gmail...... Who do I turn towards for some help here..... ??????? I'm all tired & pissed!!!!

Well! to continue this post further from my rants to the MAIN subject....

Had cooked up this Christmas Card while Kuku was away in Ranchi.... And since I felt very unwell during the TCC Digi Day, I could not make something in particular for the challenges..... Had to go with what I had made earlier.... But Thank god, had not posted it..... :D

Here is my inspiration for the Sparkle & Shine Challenge for TCC's Digi Day Celebrations!!!

Our sponsors for this challenge are Fresh Brewed Designs and Guylou's Inimitability.

It is a ONE LAYER CARD!

I would love to link it to the following challenges......

CardPatterns for their Sketch.....
Cards For Men for It's Nearly Christmas!
Cute Card Thursday for inspirations from flame....
Delightful Sketches for Sparkly Christmas....
LadybugCrafts for Distressed Christmas Cards....
TSG Clear Stamps for Holiday projects....
All Sorts for Anything But Square....

The Prep :

*Black CS from SU! for the base.....
*Began with the Christmas Tree..... for which I hand stamped the embossing glue with the back of a skewer stick & heat embossed the doodled tree with white embossing powder.....
*Similarly I just applied the embossing glue around & heat embossed with white embossing powder again for the regular snow fall effect!
*And repeated the similar procedures on the bottom for the snow piled ground & on the top for the feel of snow covered branches of neighboring trees.....
*On the tip of the tree, for the Sparkling effect, heat embossed with Golden embossing powder & added a Starry Bling for a sparkle!

Enjoy the FEEL of a SNOW COVERED NIGHT!!!

Happy Celebrations to ALL!!!!

UNTIL NEXT, KEEP THE FAITH!!!
