The Lazy Owl Designs: August 2010

Thank you.. thank you! :)

Another card using the fabric tape.. I tried pleating too!.. awesome! :)
The card uses an unmounted My Sentiments Exactly stamp and follows the amazing sketch of Priscilla Syles..

The colour scheme has been taken from this week's Love My Tapes challenge.

This card is going to be in the mail soon to reach a very sweet person! :)

Always By Your Side..

Finally a layout!.. Making this post at 2:30 am and had sat down to make it at 12:00 am..
Finally finished the project for Paperworks Challenge #3..

Used the digi generously donated by Chi Chi Memories.. and a pic of me and my sis! :D

I stink at colouring!.. so I didn't try to be a pro. and paper pieced the image(always seems to work! ;)..).. I cut out the band-aid (or whatever its called) separately and stuck it on adding a bit of cotton to fluff it up! :)

The layout was totally unplanned but I'm glad it turned out pretty okay! :)

A Whole Lotta Stuff! :)

Happy Independence Day!..
Okay I know it was yesterday (I am writing this post on 12:32am on Tuesday in context to Monday! ;) ).. but officially, my weekly tests got over today.. so Its MY independence day too! :)
I would love to warn you here that I am going to blabber a LOT here and you may feel like punching me! ;).. I have been working today as a total Zombie, sleep deprived!.. Was up till 5 am to study for the test and had to wake up again at 6:30.. :).. But I am soo happy that the day is finally over!
Okay, NOT EXACTLY NEW BUT NEWLY-INTENSED INTEREST --> SCRAPBOOKING!.. have been doing a LOT of that lately.. so many layouts coming up!..
You MOST PROBABLY know by now (but anyways I'm gonna say it! :)) that Shalini, Tejal, Smita and I are participating in the PWCO CHALLENGE.. with four days of daily challenge fun and winners chosen by voting.. so we need you! :)

Now FINALLY onto the card.. I had to send Rakhis (from me and my sis) to two of our brothers.. so OBVIOUSLY made the cards! :)

The Rakhis are threaded onto the card and tied inside..This was based on a CP sketch whose submission I obviously missed! ;)

And look what I received in my mil today!.. Karuna has sent me this beautiful card and an amazing book that I won in her blog giveaway.. Thanks a TONN! :)

Layouts coming up soon! :)

Oh!.. and almost forgot!.. My Flashback for AMY! :).. My very first card on the blog (its okay, you can laugh.. I did too!).. fancy frames and baad photography taken by my webcam(when I didn't have my very own digicam :(.. its hard to imagine my life without it now!)..

Anyways, sad notes over.. heres the creative news.. I tried Japanese bookbinding from this tutorial.
I LOVED the result..

Added some photo corners.. and made my very own photo album! :)

Hey!.. almost forgot.. Does anyone know from where can I find a scallop border punch??.. tired of searching around! :(
Off to study!
