Another stationary box


Evening everybody,

I am a bad blogger. I promised to load another stationary box yesterday and I got busy.
And its already evening today. Oh! its been very busy. Aditi went back to school today and I was on the phone to fix a lot of things. And I hate being put on hold and the radio blasting from the other end. Thats "the" test of patience I think!!! I had to hold for 3 such call over 15 minutes. B***** frustrating!!!

Anyway, without any further delay, here they are for you.



I have used Bazzill Black cardstock and Rosa Moka paper, Basic Grey Lime Ricky stickers, Pom pom ribbons, Stampin' Up! lovely as a tree stamp set, Stampin' Up! embossing powder and heat gun.I loved making these stationary boxes. Very cute and functional as well.
My next project is making travelling suitcase.

Oh!, the August Card sketch will be up in my sketch blog tomorrow along with the winner for July. Check it out and see if you can have a go at it.

OK see ya after the weekend.
Have a workshop tomorrow and Sunday is a relaxed day.
You all have a great weekend
Hugs

Aussie Pub calls kits

Hey everybody,

You all know I am part of Aussie Pub Calls creative team member.
I have also been telling you about the kits available from Aussie Pub Calls.
Here is the sneak peek of the August kit. I made a card which was inspired by KWerner's Diagonal Rays with pattern paper card. I like the diagonal rays with multiple pattern paper. In this card below, you can see all the papers available in the August kit.


Isn't this beautiful? Here is the link to the KWerner's video.
If you find it interesting, then give it a go.

And how do you like the new blog dress? Aditi is at home down with fever and we amused ourselves with doing up the blog. Actually, she wanted to do a blinkie but we ended up finding this blog called Shabbyblog and ended up downloading free stuff and dressing up my blog.
Heaps of fun.Some paracetamol is keeping Aditi stay out of fever and bodyaches. Hoping she will recover soon.

I made another stationary box. Will load it later today.
Ok, see you later in the evening.

Hugs

Stationary Box for the teacher

Afternoon everybody,

Last evening my son came home very happy, he had played guitar in front of his class and it went very well. He also told me that his teacher celebrated her birthday on 26th Sunday.He wanted to give her a card. So I made one and then forgot to take a photograph. Silly me. Anyway, I also made this stationary ,which I was thinking to make for a very long time. I made it watching "Spooks" on ABC.
Here are the pictures



I have used Basic Black card stock, Bella Rose DSP, Upsy Daisy Stamp set, Oval All stamp set from the new mini catalogue, Baroque Motifs stamp set, black embossing powder, tab punch, corner punch, ribbon and heat gun. All from Stampin' Up!

The teacher liked it so much. She displayed it on her desk. I am glad she liked it.
Think will make one more using a different DSP and share it with you.

OK, thanks for stopping by.

I had a great weekend!!!


Hey everybody,

Monday morning! we drove back from Perth last night. we were not sure if we would make it to Perth on the weekend. After a cancellation of a workshop on friday night, we decided we will just go. So packed everything in a hurry and then just drove down on friday. We are so happy we went.We had the most amazing weekend.
First of all, I got to meet my friends from Challenge Chics. Lisa had come from Gold Coast to Perth to see her Aunt and therefore I wanted to meet her. Then I also met the beautiful Chris, the gorgeous Karina and the awesome Sarah. We had lunch and we chatted. Loved it. Wish I had more time with them. I should say, my husband was so kind to come with me and also shepherd the kids while I had fun. So I could not keep them waiting for long. Anyway, look what my friends got me.


They are gorgeous. Thank you so much Chris and Lisa.

And I gave them these.



There are various color 3 x 3 note cards inside these covers. Now, the " JUST FOR YOU" stamp on the top of the sets are from the new mini catalogue. I have used the scalloped punch that coordinate with the stamp here too to give the 3D effect.
Aren't they perfect. there are more gorgeous sets available in the New Mini. watch out for the New Mini catalogue on August 1st.

On saturday evening, we met more friends and had an awesome time with them, eating yummy food. we went to a resturant and we were 18 of us. Imagine the noise level from our table.
On Sunday, we drove to meet the parents of a medical student who was in Kalgoorlie on her elective. They have a farm and OMG! I really fell in love with the place. So much space!!! Plenty of garden. Her father loves gardening and he has planted to many fruit trees and veggie patch. Such a lovely family, Siddarth had a ride on the mawing tractor and did not want to let go of it. Aditi was running wild with two dogs and jumping on the trampline. They had so much fun. Of course, we had another lovely home cooked food. Talked so much.
Then off to do another work and to indian shop, loaded our car with groceries and drove back home. Such an awesome trip. we are so glad we made it. we look forward to these short trips.
Now back home with a suitcase of clothes to wash and a house to clean. But such is life.

Thanks for stopping by and reading to my long weekend story.
