Framing Memories


I was asked by a relative to make a photoframe to be presented to her husband on his birthday, the only condition was I had to make the flowers like the one's I had made in my 'Love is' Explosion boxes which can be seen here and then we decided to make the flowers in the shades of blue and it came out to be exactly to be like the picture I had visualized :) and this made me very Happy

and yes I forgot to tell, the photoframe is handmade too :) It's made out of a thick cardboard and then wrapped up in white sheet.

This is when I saw up the color challenge on Itsy Bitsy and decided the team the blue with a green :) and this is how it turned out to be



I distressed another white sheet of paper with Green color and stamped it up with the swirls and placed some cute rhinestones



Here's a corner pic of the arrangement on the bottom left corner


The top right hand corner looks like the above pic :)




I added a li'l bit of lace and a charm to allow my creation for entry in the Crafter's Corner challenge for this month which is a BINGO :D
I have used up the first vertical line there of Distressing, Pearls/Rhinestones, Ribbon/Lace and it can also go up with the first horizontal line which says  distressing/Flowers/Charms


 This is something which I loved making and I hope you guys liked it too!!!

Entering it for the following challenges:

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... I finally bought a BIGSHOT, the die cutting Machine :) and I'm sooper happy. Now i'm embarking on the journey to collect all my favourite dies :) Finally, I completed the album before I embarked on my long due vacation back to both my homes, I delivered it and I'm sooper happy since it has been loved and liked by all :) I have made a lot of flowers for this album as the album is all girlish and little girls love flowers :) I had a lot of them punched an
