Thinking of you (Catching Flakes)

 

Decorated a notepad for a very nice friend of mine. He has just gone from a very bad phase of chemo sessions for his cancer treatment, But has recovered by the grace of God :). 

This cute Image is from designed 2 Delight by Faith. I am totally in love with this one and goes perfectly   with the winter season :).

Its colored with markers and water color pencils and not to mention that, I had to color this image twice because, I spilled water over it by mistake :(.

Yeah i also added a sentiment and a tag fer it too. Under the pretty patterned paper is the pocket which holds the tag. Also added loads of faux stitching and some glitter. Hope you guys like it.

Red, White N Blue

Hi guys, today em back with another post for Gingerloft Design Team Assignment :). This fortnight we have a color challenge i.e. Red, White n Blue challenge. I am using a gingerloft digi provided by the generous Tami :). 

The image is colored with water color pencils and so is the lite blue background :). I have done faux stitching with a blue pointer.

The blue dotty paper is from hallmark and the blue lines paper is from my stash. Couldnt add much of bling to this card as it is a guy's card so i added little tiny things to make it look complete, like tiny silver sequins on  the tip of shoes and red stick on's to make them look like shoe buttons :).

Also added 3 buttons in the corner. I love layers so i did lots while making this card. all the stars and circles are hand drawn and cut and then i did faux stitching :).

The Sentiment is handwritten too. My printer is still not working :(

Another view to show the elements of the cards clearly.

My First Vintage Project

I am back again with another project. Its a notepad again.......:). i actually am having fun making them so you guys are gonna see them a lot in the up coming days. And i need to post this soon because its my mom's birthday today so there is a lot to do :).

This project is for the DT assignment at Gingerloft challenges. This week the theme is vintage. The pretty image used is provided by the very generous Tami.

I have never done anything vintage before so its my very first take. I hope it looks vintage :). The image is colored with water color pencils. The flowers used at the top of the tag are from my brand new stash :). Got them in many colors :).

The backing papers, ribbons, pearls, flowers and all the gems are from my stash as well. The butterflies are an internet download. The lavender flower though is totally handmade.

Inside view of my project. decorated according to the same there. Added a butterfly and bow inside too, to make it look fancy.

The closer view of one of backside of the top cover. i have layered it to increase its strength, plus i also love layers :).

A close up of the inside holding the decorated notepad with a pen holder.

A final shot of the completed project to show clearly. No templates used to make this. All measurements are mine :). I hope u can see a pin attached to the bow. Its not clearly showing in the pic though.

You are sweet as a cupcake (Notepad)

Hi guys :)  its me again with a project this time. I love decorated notebooks and notepads for use. So this time i thought why not make some :). The very cute image is a freebie from Slikeje. I truly love her images :), they are really cute.

this image is colored with markers and water color pencils. I have embossed it a little to add some dimension. This is the top front view of the notepad.

Oh....! i forgot to mention its not just a notepad its all decorated with covering flap and a base to keep it safe :). This shows the inside of my project with the notepad. Made a bow and stuck it to the top of the notepad. Also made a pen holder, so we dont have to run anywhere when we need to jot down things.

A view showing both the decorated insides. The pattern paper and ribbon are from my stash. And to mention more i didnt use any fancy templates for making this. These measurements are all mine and this is totally handmade.

Showing the top with a bow and a sentiment which is computer generated :). Hope u guys like it as much as i do. And if u want to make one, i can always help with the measurements plus dont forget to layer it a little too, to make it sturdy so your edges dont turn when u keep it in your purse or bag.

The Flowering Tree

Its me again :) third day in a row, which i kind of like... lolx. The image is the flowering Tree by Tami of Ginger Loft. Once again its for the DT assignment of  Gingerloft for the circles challenge that is still running on our blog. To see the wonderful entries by other members check out here
I have colored the image with markers and added circular sequins and diamante. Though the diamante are not very clear in the picture. And to go with them i have used a pattern paper that has circular flower shaped designs on it.

I have distressed certain corner, i hope they show in the pic. The ribbon is from my stash, and after tying its bow i stuck a silver sequin over it :). Hope there are enough of circles on my project :).  though i like it more in person because its one of my favorite color combos.

Teddy Bear Thank You

Back after really long. Need to leave love on the blogs, will visit you guys soon. The image you see is from my wrapping sheet, really loved this teddy bear. The Background is created with my color pencils. I know its not very professional looking, I need to play with a little more. But this was my first time :). The Pattern paper is from my stash. The flowers are from a  candy i won some time back. The Butterflies are internet downloads colored with my markers.

The scallop is hand drawn and cut. outlined with markers. The ribbon is from my stash. Had to work really hard with putting up all those tiny gems you are seeing. Raising everything without a foam tape was a also a job. The sentiment is computer generated. Hope you guys like it.

Hanging By To Say Hi

I have finally reached my Fiftieth Post and i am very happy :). The card today is based on the tag image by Faith of Designed 2 Delight. I have colored it with markers and color pencils. Also have added 2 extra images, the spider web and the spider, though spiders give me creeps. 

The sentiment is computer generated, The black patterned paper is actually a note book cover, which belonged to my kid sis :) but she was generous enough to allow me to use it :).

The red card stock strip is cut with patterned scissors and I have added a ribbon from my stash on top of it. The card has been finished of with a double looped bow and a red button, both of which are from my stash. Both the image tag and sentiment have been raised a little for added dimension.

A Basket Of Gifts

I am sharing with you a gift basket that i decorated a few days back for my Brother's Fiancee for the the occasion of  Eid, like you guys have Christmas we have Eid after our Holy Month of Ramadan in which we fast for 20 or 30 days according to the lunar calender

so when people are engaged gifts are exchanged between families on Eid, of both girl and boy. So this was one of the gifts that I decorated :).

I have wrapped the red ribbon around the handle of the basket. Then i hung strands of silver ribbon and glued tiny round mirrors to it to give it a jazzy look. I even tied tiny red bows and stuck them to the handle and also to the Henna cone to add some more color. Actually Rid here is all about colors and bling :).

Here is the look before i covered the basket with a shocking Pink colored net.

A Close up showing the bows on the Henna cone. Also covered the base of the basket with red wrapping sheet. My brother's fiancee and her family loved everything, hope you guys like it too.

Bright and colorful Summer

This week we were given two images to play with :). Loved these beautiful flowers by Faith. They are colored with my normal color pencils, water color pencils and markers :). 

Embossed them to add some dimension to the card, I dont know why..... but I like in fact love embossed cards. 

Did I tell you guys that this week I won the challenge at TSG blog :). I am really really happy :). My first winning of blog land........Yayyyyyy :)

The frills kind of layers that you see below the bow are no fancy punches, cus we dont have any here, which really makes me feel bad a hand tied at times. Its just cut with patterned scissors. And it was an inspiration from a Dt card on Designed to delight. 

One thing I dont really like on the card are the round mirrors that I have added on the the corner of the card. They are kind of giving a cheap look :(. I tried to take them off but they wont come off with out tearing the card stock, so sorry guys bear with it. I think I am not happy with this double bow too :(. It was looking really nice and pretty without both of these things.
