The Lazy Owl Designs: October 2010

handmade rose

Cuteness Personified! :D

When you catch a cold and sit at home, what do you do exactly??.. I CRAFT! ;)

Finally made a layout for Smita's challenge on Yvonne's blog.. for using ribbon technique and no stamps.. :)

So I experimented with my silhouette again! :).. added the swayed grass and title.. and made tiny ribbon roses too! :)

Made a simple flower and used a clear button.. and I'm done!..

Also, my entry for Amy's Flashback Friday.. my first Christmas card posted on the blog.. :)

Off to catch some sleep! :D

adorable

Adorable!..

.. I know I am! ;).. but here I referred to my cutie li'l cousin.. yup!.. still scrapping about her! ;)

The LO was inspired by the sketch from Candy Shoppe(who by the way have amazing sponsor this month, BlueMoonScrapbooking!).. super fun!..

And I scraplifted Michelle Jacknicke's (colour scheme) and Kristin Powell's (masking) layouts from Lipstick Chicks DT.. :)

And as totally noticeable.. I went crazy with my Silhouette again! ;).. the tiny butterflies and oh-so-perfect title!.. I masked off some areas using punched and hand-cut hearts and sponged up some black paint over.. awesome results!.. :)

I rolled up a quarter(yep! ;)) of a glue drop and put it under the wings of the tiny butterflies so they remain popped up!

My crafty time has now been reduced to ONCE-IN-A-WHILE :(.. but I'm still going to be gifting myself some crafty stuff.. makes me happy! :D
Off to study!.. hugs!

handmade flower

Sisters..

Another LO featuring me and my cutie cousin sister(whose hand was earlier featured in THIS layout)..

I made this LO for Sherry's challenge on Yvonne's blog.. I was soo much inspired with Y's stitching that I used it heavily on this LO..

The title was first scribbled on with a pencil.. I poked the holes later.. hand-stitched S and faux-stitched on the rest of the letters!(stitching is hard work! ;))

Crochet Crazy..

.. and experimenting!.. :)
My mom has a new hobby.. crocheting!.. so I'm using a lot of them on my projects! :D

The first card has some silhouette cut flourishes and the flower from a beautiful paper that I found on an invite!.. :)

My mom made this crochet border and I looved it.. :)

I thought it didn't need a sentiment! ;)

The second card uses a lott of crochet stuff!.. and a few pearl headpins.. :)

.. and again the sentiment is cut out from the silhouette.. The pp is soo beautiful(thanks T!)

Twines vases..

Finally the project for Yvonne's Challenge..
I had saved up these really boring glass bottles which, of course, i found interesting! ;)..

And I turned them into cute vases using a bit (okay, a LOTT!) of twine!.. :D

Holidays are going great!.. Catching up with all the fun I missed during exams ;)..
Okay, now I'm off to watch Step Up 3! :D

News and a Layout! ;)

Belated Happy World Card Making Day!.. :D
And this follows a post WITHOUT a card! ;)..
I have been been absent from the blog-land even after my exams for a reason.. I have been experimenting.. with SOMETHING that i bought..
... please welcome.. MY SIHOUETTE SD! :D

I had saved up practically ALL my money for this!.. and Mom was the coolest to use her credit card (before telling Daddy dearest about its use, of course! ;))..
I received it in like 15 days (well in time, the day before my holidays started.. got it after I came back from school!), and we didn't have to pay a lot of money in the customs.. PLUS I got it on discount for 200$ instead of the usual 300$.. wohoo!!.. I AM SOO SOO HAPPY! :D
