February PTI Blog Hop

Hi everybody,

Its PTI blog hop today and this month's theme is 

This month we decided to dedicate the Blog Hop to scallops!  We want to see your best use of scallops,
of any sort, on a project!  This can include scalloped borders, offset-scallops, stamped scallops,
scalloped mats, scalloped frames, layered scallops, scalloped tags or anything else you can dream up!
You can use dies, patterned scissors or even circle punches in a row to achieve your special look.  We
are looking forward to seeing all of your amazing creations!

Here is my take on the theme.

I used banner dies to make the scallops on this card. Love the deep offset scallops and that white border. Gives the card a gorgeous dressed feel to it! Happy with how it turned out. Hope you like it too :)

Now off to hop and see other scallop project. Happy hopping!

Luv!

Time flies!!!

I really wonder!!! Its Friday already? Gosh! I am worried actually. Looks like before I know I will be old and wrinkly!  Tomorrow for example, we have music lessons at 9 to 11 in the morning,  cook and eat lunch and go for a birthday party in the afternoon and then to teacher's committment mass in evening because Aditi sings in the choir. By the time I am back home it will be 8 at night. I will be exhausted and so will the kids. Sunday, is cleaning day! Not very good. I have to slow down somehow but with 2 kids and a busy husband, its not that easy. I will have to try hard, don't I?

Anyway, what I want to say is that I made a lot of cards, two for challenges, one for DT and one just out of interest on last Sunday. I just did not have the time to share them the entire week. But now is the time to do that. Here they are:

This card I made just like that one day. I want to try out bird cage background and loved it. Hence made a card.  Isn't the cage background beautiful with all those tiny heart shapes :) I love it.

 

This one  I made for the recent JAI sketch but did not have to time to post it and enter the challenge.

This one is for Sasya sketch #51. Here is a link to the sketch if you want to play. Deadline is Tuesday next week.

 

This one I made for Embellished Publication call for ribbons. But I was not confident to sent it. So here is the card for you. Love these doily dies from Maya Road.

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you like my cards.

Tomorrow I have a card to share for PTI blog hop. So please come back :)

Luv!

Girly You Rock!

Today I have a card share I made for PTI's Make It Monday - Glitter Strip with Scor Tape.

What I did was alternate glitter strip using scor tape with Retro background stamp for the girly background. I have also used white and pink glitter again alternating. I love this background.The Tag #2 is decorated and stamped with sentiment for the focal point. I loved the end result of this card. Simple yet striking.Thanks for the challenge :)

Have a great day!

Luv!

Birthday card

This a bright cheerful girly birthday card I made on Sunday for my friend's daughter's birthday this saturday.I have used CAS sketch # 128

I love the "By the Numbers collection" dies and Big Birthday Wishes stamp set from PTI. The dies are perfect size and the size of the font on the stamp set is big to draw the eyes to the focal point. The large flower is from Prima marketing. Cardstocks from PTI and papers from Cosmo Cricket :)

Thanks for stopping by!
Luv!

My craft space!

Hello everybody, 

I don't know about you but my Sunday and Monday flew very quickly. After Sunday afternoon lunch, life just took over and in a blink of an eye, its Monday evening. Hopefully everything will slow down now. I took some pictures of my craft space and a few cards and was able to edit them just now.

Unfortunately, I could not take pictures of my Sunday lunch and the dessert (which I had promised to show in the past post) because it was all gone by the time I could bring my camera!!! lol! Kids were hungry after they came back from swimming and within minutes all food were gone. 

But I have a picture of my craft space. I don't have a room to myself as its a large study and my DD, my DH and myself share the room. My husband has his office, I have my craft space and my daughter has her piano in there. So here is a picture of my side of the room

Its a bit messy at the moment. Most things are within reachable distance. I bought these IKEA ALEX drawers recently. They are great and fits all my stamps, punches, embossing powders, adhesives...... There is so much space in those drawers. Love it! Next IKEA purchase will be the desk with ALEX drawers.lol!

Can you see my frame high up on the wall? Yes, thats the one I showed on my previous post. I have to make another similar one and hang it below this one. So its work in progress :) I used to have a display canvas up there on which I displayed my cards but I wanted a change. So I took it down and put up the frame instead.

I also have a cupboard on the righthand side which has more stash in it. So thats pretty much my craft space. I don't have much as I sold a lot recently. I used to be a scrapbooker before I converted to cardmaker. So I had a lot of pattern papers and embellishments. I used to get lost in the huge pile of stash but I am more in control with what I have.  Anyway, this is my first post on my craft space. Hopefully in a few months time, when my new house is built, I can have a craft space which I intend to make it organised and coordinated :)

Thanks for reading and have a great day :)

Luv!
