Hi friends!

Its me again after a  hectic weekend..this week turned out to be a little ‘worky’ for me,well to let you know my family had our mom’s funeral ritual done on 3rd of this month(DEC)and i hope she is in Peace now..

Christmas was one of my Mom’s favorite festival..though being an Hindu(religion),most of our religion people find it unusual to celebrate Christmas,but my Mom never cared about all that…she just loved…loved and loved Christmas!

she would get up really early on the eve,bake tons of cakes and cookies,decorate our house with the lights and also decorate the Christmas tree for us(the kids).

But now its been a Year that she passed away,leaving her precious memories in our heart’s forever..

so today I wanna share with you this creation of mine that i made especially in memory of my mom..and it is also for a challenge at http://quirkycrafts.blogspot.co.uk/

The challenge this time is http://quirkycrafts.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/challenge-25-christmas-and-use-your.html

Lets quickly move on to the tutorial:

I have taken 4 maroon card stock paper for the entire frame,cut all the card stocks it in about 9x5inches,take 2 card stock and cut out a square from the enter..(this is where the pictures fit in!) To give the sides a little more dimension,i have added these gemstones(in emerald green and maroon)then add the cellophane or transparent sheets at the back of the cut frames..

happy thanksgiving!

hi friends!

today i am going to share with you a card that i made out of the scraps that i had.first,i was thinking of just throwing the left over scraps but then i thought why to waste these pretty scraps then to use it in some kind of craft project…so here i am with a ‘thanks giving’ card which is completely and totally made out of the scraps that i have been storing in my stash.

Before going to the details of the card,i would like to say one thing to all the crafting friends out there,not to throw those let over scraps…just think of something you can utilize it into and make something beautiful out of it.

The stamp used in this card is from one of my friend,who actually gave it to me in a printed form(she was throwing it,i don’t why!)and said i could use it some time to make up something,so today i finally got the chance  to use it in my card…also it was a thanks giving one,and Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and i was thinking of working on a few cards so it went well with my card.

the sentiment is from purple onions mini sentiment stamp set.

the autumn leaves are hand drawn and hand cut by me using some of the scrap paper i had.. the lace is again a left over from one of my creation that i made earlier and the layered papers are also some of the christmas paper scraps that i had..so i combined all and came up with this.i have also done some stitching (drawn on with a pen!)

and have also used these left over pearls at the top right of the card.

i hope you guys lie it.

i am entering this card for the following challenges:

A blingy witch halloween card

Hello fellow crafters!

I’m back again… and today i’m going to share with you, my first ever ‘Halloween’ card,that i made for my friend.

For the making of this card,i have used many supplies..some of which are from ‘itsy-bitsy’ which includes the ‘pattern paper’,the Texture boutique’s ‘small flowers-embossing folder'(also from itsy bitsy) ,Craft glue(also from itsy bitsy),bright ribbons(also from itsy bitsy)and the foam flowers,punched out of foam sheets from the itsy bitsy store.

The cut file for the witch boots is by Lori Whitlock (from silhouette store).it was a real fun to decorate the witch boots with lots of blings(the blings are from the local craft store)!!

The witch broom stick is handmade by me.

materials used to make the miniature witch broomstick were:1.Long dry grass
2.Twine to wind around the stick and 3.Scissors

Tutorial to make the ‘witch broomstick:

First,take a bunch of the dry grass and place it around the end of your twig.
Wind your twine around the dry grass to secure it to the stick.Once you have wound it around securely, trim the ends of the dry grass with your scissors to neaten your broom.And thats it!!

I hope you guys like it…do leave me a comment and share me with your valuable views!
