A general card and some sneak peek....

This is a card I made using Basic Grey Stella Ruby paper and a vintage photo of a girl. I have distressed all the edges of the papers using Heidi Swapp edge distressor and inked with Versa Color Pinecone and Camelia inks. Ribbon from my stash.

I experimented making a vintage style card. Not too bad I think.lol!!
I would like to use watercolor and stamps next to make cards.

I have done couple of layouts and cards as part of my Guest DT for Tanyah. It will be up in her blog next month.There is a step by step for a layout too.
I am so excited and looking forward to it.

Here is a sneak peak..

Pigtails...............

On the weekend I had the chance to visit Scrapbook from the heart-the shop in Canning Vale, Perth.It was huge and to see so many papers and embellishment, I was lost.
I was overwhelmed to be honest. But I managed to pick up few papers.
One of them is from Creative Imaginations-Marah Johnson, Voyez en Arriere.
I so loved the colors in the paper.The crown in the corners were beautiful.
The other paper is also from Creative Imaginations-Signature Collection, Style page.
I loved how it had the old wornout look to it.

The photos are of my DD with her pigtails.
I was going through some old photos with her.
She wanted to have pigtails done like how she had it on an photo!
So these are pictures of Aditi with pigtails.
She was so happy posing and felt special.
