Smile... and the world smiles with you!!!

Thought of trying my hands at card making this time...
One reason was that I was trying to see how it would come out and then the second was.. I was curious about the ICR challenge this time. I thought why not to give it a try..
So here's what I did this time...
Made a simple card just saying that... " smile so that the world smiles with you " .. a clean and simple card..


Well, I do not have any embossing paper or embossing machines, I used my quilling stencil to make the embossing for the smiley's and another stencil for the line of flowers on the right !!! :)
Here's another click of the card :)


I also included a origami flower(pink one) here so that I can make my entry for a couple of crafts challenges!! Also a curled rose flower is added  :)

I have used the following items to make this card:
1) Lotus notes papers, Yellow and dark pink
2) Star shaped punch for making the punched decoration
3) Stencil for embossing the flowers and the smiley's circles.
4) Quilling tool to make the green flower as well as the embellishment on the top right of the sentiment
5) Origami paper flower (pink one)

I hope you liked my card.... so go ahead and smile.... for smile is very healing !!!! and it's the only curve which can make someone's day!!!:

Happy Smiling and crafting!!!!

A Baby album

A few months as (yes months, precisely in March??) I got a call from a friend of mine and she wanted me to make a baby album for her daughter. It was supposed to have a lot of memories from her first year and her first year keepsake album too and I must say, I was pretty excited to start on the same. But things got tumbled up and I ended up making the album in August( I know that's a lot of delay, but with me not well and stopping all my crafty adventures for a while, there was no choice ) and one good news is...
