Friends Forever!

Heylo! :D

I was so happy to see Crafty JC Challenge # 7 up on the blog!.. I had made this layout within a few days, just got late posting it here! :)

Supplies:- CS: White, Teal{CTMH}; Papers: American Crafts; Stamps: Prima; Ink: Chestnut Brown; Embellishments: Stickers{RAK from Y, Itsy Bisty, CTMH, Making Memories}, twine; Others: Stabilo ink pens;

Loads of doodling added quite a cute touch! *wink*

I would also like to share with you what I recently got in my mail.. :)
I had seen Komal selling her BEAUTIFUL jewellery online { FINALLY! :D }.. and I LOVED her charm bracelets so I straight-away ordered for one! :)

I also asked her to add "S" and "P" charms to it to personalize it for ME! ;) .. and she made them herself! :D

LOOK!.. so dangly!.. i LOVE IT!..
Later on I asked her to add a key charm to the bracelet too { inspired by Sarah Dessen's book "LOCK AND KEY".. everyone MUST read it! }.. but she had already arranged everything..

Soo.. she made me a cutie necklace along with it too..
And the jewellery was so well-packed and in a cutie handmade paper pouch! :D.. Thank you! :D
And I am soo happy because my future is finally seeming safe.. I am getting a few colleges and am waiting for a few results! :).. Also, My birthday is coming up THIS Tuesday.. 28th JUNE!.. I am super duper excited to finally be 18, an adult!.. YAY! :D

gadgets

{ Change is easy }

Today I am writing this totally unique post.. I liked the topic and thought I should give it a shot! ;)
Do you think your gadgets reflect your personality??
I mean we buy a gadget and we DO personalize it to make it look funky, fab or just suit our own taste.. and with the choice of skins, covers and even charms available today its a pretty easy job.

A nerd might probably cover his laptop with a simple plaid design or a cute scenery with a garden and a river flowing whereas a popular school diva would totally bedazzle her gadgets!

And the best part is, if ever it goes out of style.. we can just as easily chuck it or replace it with a better and a "cuter" version of the skins. After all, who likes to be ante diluvian? *wink*
And its not only how we personalize our gadgets but also what we personalize that reflects our taste.
One can be a total gadget junky with the top-most and the latest cell phone in hands or one can be happy and content with a Nokia 3320 even in this fastest generation.. It all depends on the need!

One of the reasons of my fascination for the topic is that I, myself, am a true decor junkie!.. hehe.. I LOVE to experiment with new cell phone charms and skins { though I am quite lazy to switch the covers or even replace the BADLY SCRATCHED screen guard! }. Even I have tried loads and loads of cell phone charms { ranges from simple necklace pendants to mum-made crochet flowers } and themes and am still thinking of a new one just for my bday!.. hehe
And this is one of the reasons for my LOVE for the new DELL Inspiron.. :D

Oh, and when we talk about gadgets and electronics, how can we forget about the Silhouette SDs and the heat guns.. these are the gadgets WE CRAFTERS use almost everyday! *wink*
Have YOU ever gone crazy with change??
Thanks for reading!.. I'll be back with another crafty post soon!

embossing

For you with love!

Happy Fathers' Day! :D
Today I have.. not a very masculine card.. but a cute one! :)
I was super inspired by Ujjwal's Challenge on Yvonne's blog so I used my adhesive tape and die-cut the frame and finally gold embossed it!
Not a very neat attempt at embossing i think.. :)

Supplies:- CS: White; Embellishments: Butterflies {Itsy Bitsy}, Pearl; Others: Embroidery floss {red}, Silhouette SD;

I also wanted to participate in Anita dee's Challenge to make a window card with a sentiment.. The card she made is soo gorgeous!

Also, this card is.. in a lot of ways.. inspired by this card from Ujjwal dee.. thanks for the inspiration! :)

crepe paper

Sing & Dance

Good Morning!.. Well, its morning here in India! ;)
oh.. and I AM UP! :D
I made a layout using a few of my school photographs.. I have got loads of them and so I have to scrap them right! ;)

Supplies:- CS:White; Papers: Itsy Bitsy, Dovecraft {Wild Blossom, A Hint of Pink}; Embellishments: Pie Lane, pearls, green ribbon{thanks Y!}, twine; Others: Silhouette SD, crepe paper {local};

I initially started this LO for the Scrapping the Music challenge but I did not take care of the deadline.. hehe.. that happens sometimes! :)
I used the current Sketchy Thursdays Sketch.. love it!

Oh and I made a crepe paper flower!.. I was sure I'll miss the deadline but I made it on time for Kristy's Challenge on Yvonne's blog.. YAY! :D

And since I am in LOVE with the PIE LANE products, I used their embellishment stickers, heart sticker and rhinestone sticker! :)
I also used my cute isolated 6 X 6 paper so I am entering it for the current Scrapbookers Anonymous Challenge too..

I also wanted to thank all you sweet bloggy buddies for the comments on the last post.. I did feel a lot better.. thank you! :)
OOOOO.. and the good news is.. MY BIRTHDAY IS AROUND THE CORNER!.. okay, maybe I exaggerated it a bit.. its on 28th.. ITS RIGHT THERE!.. I am gonna be 18!.. YAYAYAYAY!! :D

fussy cutting

Sugarbuzz!

Heyi!
I am back with another layout featuring my cousin sis {yeah!.. she RULES over my scrapbooks! ;) }

Supplies:- CS: Blue; PP:White, Colorbok ; Stamp: Studio G; Ink: Pigment Purple; Embellishment: twine, pearls, dolies; Others: Silhouette SD

I did a little fussy-cutting { flower } and the black flourish is a Silhouette die-cut
I kept it pretty simple as my mojo is on a leave.. :)

And for a change even I am not cheerful.. really tensed about my college admissions.. Even with a good score it seems like there are absolutely NO ARCHITECTURE COLLEGES to house all the students! :|
But I know everything just HAS to work out right? :)

And sorry I have not been able to leave some love on all the blog.. I promise I'll catch up soon! :)

journal

{ Journal Talks }

A few days ago I told you that my sister's flight got delayed so I made her something..
back on the topic!.. I had watched THIS video some time back and was super-duper inspired by that!

I LOVED the idea of storing memories in a journal!.. So I made her my own version of the Smash Journal.. and I call it a FUNKY JOURNO!..
hehe.. I know.. stupid name! *LOL*

I made a little ribbon loop and added a pen to it with refill covered with matching paper! :D

Also, I had joined an arch entrance prep course for 2 months and had some AWESOME fun there too.. Sooo I got the pics developed and they are now waiting to be added to a cute mini album! :)

Can anyone tell that I LOVE journals?? *wink*

Even my blog is going to serve as my very own journal since it has all my memories, style, and fun captured from the days I WAS a school girl!.. hehe :D
