A Handfull of Art

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 ...

I love Organizing things(even thought things gets messed up often ), and to do the same for my every increasing craft supplies I did a Desk Caddy smtime back which can be found here . I made this on a custom order, and the requirement was, it should be a girly one and quite sturdy! So I used up good quality cardboard, cutted it per my requirements and then stuck on with a sooper powerpacked glue !! Here's what I made I used a cute PP all full of butterflies for a cute angel.. Added up a lot of punched and embossed flowers. Added a super cute butterfly :) I loved making this one.. I hope you all liked it.

Hello People, It's been a long while I have been away from my blog.. maybe not that much, but then I really do feel that I'm probably not giving it enough time. A lot of things are happening and I might be away for a while soon preparing for my exams and stuff. Since Mother's day is fast approaching, I decided to make a Fridge Magnet for my mum :) I'll give it to her when she comes the next time, which will be hopefully soon :). Here's what I made: I added some flowers and the word MOM is handcut on a lovely PP. :)  The sentiment is handwritten on a distressed paper !!  I hope you all liked my creation :) Happy Crafting!

Hello Dear Friends, I had a blast last month with my SIL coming over to our place along with 2 of her kids and two of my BIL and my my what a week I had with all the 4 super dooper charged kids and SIL around. Never knew that time could fly by so quickly that I had to plunge into crafts once they left to fill up the void left which was earlier filled up with voices from very nook and corner of my home..I miss them.. {sigh} A home is soo full of life with bubbling kids all around.. :) I remembered that my li'l nephew is turning 2 this month, so I decided to make a photoframe for him and insert a cute pic of him we had clicked earlier when he was here. I had such a fun time clicking up random pics of him doing all the mischief and playing around :) I chose a blue theme for the photoframe and a white for the base of the frame. This is how it turned out to be. Added a bit of Red in the flowers to jazz the combination up.. doesnt it look good ??? Close up of the flo...

Hello Crafty People, I had a chance to make a anniversary album for a friend, this was my first attempt at making one and I thoroughly enjoyed making all the bits and pieces of the same. A Heart on the cover page was on demand and I chose to make it this way. This is the back of the album.. some of the pages from the album  Some tags for journaling... That's how the last page looks like.. The 1st anniversary pic goes in between all these lovely flowers.. :) I hope you all liked my first attempt at making an album .. Love!

Hi All the Creative peeps, As you all know that I'm a DT for Kukies Basket, it's an amazing journey where we showcase a lot of projects made by the DT members. For this month,  knocking on our heads was the Tim Holtz sewing die and we had to make something using it. Some things which can be made using the die are cards, tags, incorporating in some journals/mixed media to name a few. I chose to make a card using the same. Since Women's day just passed by the corner, I decided to use the same theme to make a 'U r special' Card. It's my acknowledgement to all the pretty crafting ladies out here who are soo talented in every aspect of their lives and manages everything that comes along their way in an amazing way. Now for some inspirations I  have always loved the flowing gowns and they are soo cute, hence this is what I made with the die. I had to cut some lower portion of the die to suit to my needs and then made a fan out of the pp and stuct it to t...

Hi Friends, A trip to homecenter wanted me to rush back home and try out an idea which had clicked me which checking out the home decor items in there. I was hooked on to a table lamp with pierced holes and it was too good to look at. I thought about my own version of lalterns and table tops for candles for all types of occasions, be it B'day parties, candle light dinners or simply for a relaxed evening with some good soothing music and colored light emancipating from the cute candle holders. Here's what I diged at making as soon as I was home and I simply loved making these. I made a parsley on one and a flower shape on the other, and this flower shape happens to be of one of the stamps set I got. I simple love this one :) Don't they look cute ??/ They can really jazz up your living space.. and with awesome bright full colors, they are a sure winner.. One good thing is that there can be various colors embedded with the candle flames...
