Although I AM going to miss the hostel life such lot! :)
I made a card using a DIGI! .. hehe.. yeah!.. Surprising I know!
And I have Sandy to blame for it! *wink*.. Thank you! { hehe.. yeah!.. I am not going to blame you as now I am in LOVE with digis! }
I made this card inspired by Sandy's Challenge #5

And when I asked our dearest fellow crafter Khushboo dee for a relevant "DIGI".. She got SHOCKED!.. hehe.. Its okay, I expected that reaction! ;)

Oh!.. And today was officially the very FIRST day at my new college!.. And I LOVE my stream { Architecture }.. Awesome place and awesome people! :D

P.S. Thanks so much for voting for me at the LESSology DT Spot for THIS project! { PSST!.. If you still haven't, please do so by clicking HERE if you want! :) }

Pretty Box! :D

hehe.. :)
I took a box, altered it and made it pretty! :D

I was super inspired by the LESSology DT Call { Have you visited their blog by the way?.. Its talent ALL OVER the place! :) } and I thought I'd give it a shot! :)

This box was saved up in my "BOX OF STUFF" .. hehe.. It basically contains ALL the boxes, tubes and glass bottles I keep collecting to " beautify " once in a while! :)

I would love to try out my luck for the DT as I love to upcycle!.. Be it bottle caps, a papers or cardboard.. I even loved making my very own sticker organizer and of course, FRAMES ! :D

Oh and do you see the cute ticket peeking out??. Its a digi stamp!.. Hehe, yeah!.. I used a digi.

Look What I Made!! :D

I am super duper excited to share with you something I made, all by myself! :D
And I LOVE it! :)
I got super inspired after reading this post.. { Check out her blog, she is AMAZING! }.. And since I din't have much to do and I did have a lot of cloth pieces kept neatly in a cloth bag { *LOL* } and of course, had to ask mum for the bigger green cloth, I started onto MISSION RUFFLES! *wink*

Oh!.. And this project is done all by myself, WITHOUT any parental help.. YAY!.. And it was my first time on the sewing machine by myself! :D { I am soo proud of me right now! }
But guess what, these many ruffles are still not enough for me! I want to make another pillow cover { BTW its not a stuffed pillow but a pillow cover, so double YAY! } with all its front filled with ruffles.. hehe

Also, I want to share a few RAKs with you!.. I keep on forgetting! { oopsies! }
And both of these were sent to me by two of my best-est crafty buddies! :D

This one was sent to me by Karuna dee { She has an awesome craft store by the way, but I guess everyone knows that by now! *wink* } on Friendships' Day. Thank you soo much dee!.. You are soo awesome and I have been soo lucky to have met you! :D <3

And this one I got before leaving for Amritsar, from Khushboo dee { PSST!.. Something coming your way! :) }.. This is one of the sweetest BEST OF LUCK cards { by the fun-est crafter } I ever got!.. Thank you soo much! :D

{ Crafting from Hostel }

Greetings! :D
I am well and good and having fun!.. And finally catching up with the crafty world and of course, my sleep! ;)
PLEASE NOTE : THIS IS A PICTURE HEAVY POST
Today I'll share with you the snaps of the time I crafted in my hostel room for the first time! :)
I have joined beds with one of my roomies { We are technically 5 girls in one room!.. hehe }.. and the bed was a complete mess!.. and I have a photo proof of that! :D

I had to make a Rakhi card for my brother, and since the plan of me leaving for Amritsar was sudden, I had no time to craft. So I made one there! :)

Supplies: CS-Black; Embellishments-red silk ribbon, Pie Lane border stickers, Pie Lane embellishment stickers and bling, alpha stickers{local};

And since I was not possession of my dear cammy, I had to click the pics with the phone camera { not bad, but still not that good! *wink* }

Also, I had to make note-cards and bookmarks for the ICR Secret Buddy Swaps.. I had to send these out to three AMAZING crafty - bloggers Tejal, Priya and Piali.

And it was super fun! :D

Here's a snapshot from the terrace of my hostel! :D

Now before you ask, I can tell you that I am great! :D
Amazing place { although its silence presents a sharp contrast to Delhi's hustle-bustle! *wink* }.. Amazing weather.. Sweet friends.. Awesome roomies and super fun life! :)
Since I don't have a lappy just as yet I am blogging from my phone { Thanks to the technology! }..
