YOU & ME Layout

Happy Monday all!!

Happy to share a LO today,

YOU & ME Layout

I loved this PP from prima and exclusively did this LO for the sake of the PP. Love it to bits. The only tedious work was to fussy cut the wordings. The wordings were actually from an previous gift my husband gave me. Gave a new feel to those. 

I started out with the photo placement and the wordings. Rest fell into place easily. The butterflies u see near the cycle is paper pierced from another pp. 

Charms, MDF, washi, heart blings, heart paper clip, twine and some distressing/stamping and finally am done.

Hope u liked it. Thanks for stopping by today.

Have a great week ahead

Classic Colours- Black & Maroon

Well well well.... keeping up with posting regularly on blog.  Its been a long time since i had posted any Explosion boxes, so here is one. And it is in the beautiful colours of black and maroon.

I have worked with the ribbons to give it a pleated look, used my glue gun for this. It requires a lotta patience but in the end it is totally worth it.  Have a look, i have given the same pleated finish on the inside for the tag pockets too.

Multifold Card

Hi people

Here is a multi fold card or u can even call a mini album :)
It was a special request for the engagement ceremony. It was the first marriage in the family of my client where the bride and groom dint know about each other. I know... its peculiar. They usually marry within relation it seems. So this a first for them that the bride and groom are complete strangers. So i was requested for a project where the couple could jolt down their likes and dislikes about each other, dat is basically get to know each other.
And this is wat i came up with.
A mini full of heart shaped tags for lil notes. Check it out

I liked the title.. wat abt u?

First fold

Second fold

Third fold

Third fold (2nd album)- central panel for photo

4th fold

5th fold- full open

Another fold

Both the albums were more or less the same with few changes. It was real bulky. A total of 20 tags could be accommodated in the pockets for each album. All the tags are heart shaped, forgot to click a pic with all the tags pulled out. I have used border punches for few of the pockets

I wanted to put a lot of flowers but the pages were too bulky and so i kept it simple with a single TH tattered floral. The flower centre are adorned with small beads, very small ones.

The couple loved it and i am happy.

Thanks for dropping by.

A huge photo frame!!

Hello ppl...

Wish u all a very happy and prosperous New Year 2015!!

Here is my first post for the year... a photo frame. It measures 12 * 12 inches. And the frame is purely handmade including the base. Here are the pics

I have taken a red corrugated sheet for the base. The pretty yellow daisies are from TH tattered florals, i have done the centre with small brown crystals. 

See this pretty wood veneer... loved it to bits. I bought it from Shailey Agarwal, Chennai. I had been waiting for a project to use it and this one seemed right. Just adorned it with small pretty flowers and leaves.

And some doiles and metal charms... and we are done

Here is the base i made, i used wooden cardboard used for packaging, and the stands are made from cardboards too. Gave it a finished look using washis and varnish.

I also made a box to go along with it, PP, laces, washis and ribbons for it. I loved how it turned out. Thats it for today. Hope you all liked it.

Anniversary Shadow Box

Hi people....

I made this Shadow box for our anniversary. This is my first one and love how it has turned out. Here are the pics

Shadow boxes have been on my 'to do' list for a long time and finally i did one for our own. Jus love how far u can customise here. Each box here contains a collectible with a story of its own..... the glass lady bugs, cycle, scooter charm, gel candle, dry flower, Eiffel tower, etc. 

The '5' has been hand drawn and cut. I used a self embossed and patterned sheet for it. The cute ceramic couple doll has also been recycled. I have been hoarding it for a long time, it was too small to use but it was perfect for a shadow box.

 Love the bird cage charm with the white birds... adorable right. The 'special moment' chipboard has been heat embossed with sparkling white powder and i have used prima marketing papers, love to get my hands on more prima products.

Hope you liked it guys. I have one more shadow box done with full black bg.... will upload it in next post. yaya.... am on a holiday in pondicherry..... blogging from a cozy Accord room. So expect more posts people.

Till then bye bye

Anniversary Scrapbook - Blooms

Hello everyone...

Finally done with the hols and back on track. Sharing with you all today a scrapbook done in recent times. The inside pages also turned out good but seriously i had no time to click pics since i ran out of time. Okay here are the pics

The shaped pages are all hand cut and loved how it turned out. The flowers are TH tattered florals and the roses are done with daisy die. Everything else in self explanatory i guess.

Thanks for stopping by, appreciate your visit and time.

Happy crafting!!!

Happiness Box

Hello all

Wondering at the title?? yeah its just an explosion box with the theme as 'Happiness'. But it has an explosion of handmade flowers... hav a look at the pics

The top with handmade roses

The centre has a box to hold a mini cd

The second layer

Few of the panels

Okay these are some of the things done differently. First this box can hold around 30-35 photos and space for 30 wishes or records. All these i hav accommodated through accordion folds and other interactive methods. There are 3 pockets which hold 5 tags each. Further though there are jus 2 layers i hav decorated the back panels of the first layer and so it leaves me with 12 panels and hence space to accommodate a lotta stuff.

Thats it folks. Hope u liked it and thanks a lot for stopping by.

Hi again

Posting a double trishutter card with valentine colours.... first the pics, here u go,

Front view

First fold

Full card open

Co-ordinating box cover

I loved how the card had turned out. Can u see the white net cloth beneath the roses? Its recycled from my daughters' old dress, it gives such a soft feel to the roses & pollens. Since i first incorporated the pattu saree-veshti knot in a project, it has become a fav for many and ther want me to put it up somewer or other on the card. All the PP on the card are from papermania.

Do put down ur thoughts & suggestions

See u soon with another project, hopefully soon enough

Close-up

I had this love-birds tag from "we r memory keepers"- love struck PP and everything revolved around this... the colours, theme, etc. To give the tag more depth i added quilled birds on the image and even to the nest i hav added brown quilling strips... and finally distressed with Vintage Photo. The BG PP is from Joyeux Noel bundle i won from Kraft zone- love this vintage blue. 

Hope the pictures say the rest.... Thanks for dropping by, Hav a good day

Hugs

Wedding Layout

Hello ppl...

Thank you soo much for ur lovely comments on the graduation theme explosion box. Today i have something new to post..... actually its the arrangement dat is new for me.... random placement. Here are the pics

Framed layout (sorry its not at the right angel)

Picture before framing

The initial request was based on the nuptial knot of the pattu saree & pattu veshti... I guess most Indians are aware of dis. So i used scrap cloths for it.... the red cloth is from a fancy bag and the white from a cloth given in temple. I was rather difficult to place the cloths in the required position correctly.... Lotta patience ther. I hav done neat placements of photos & flowers in my layouts till now..... but this one required somthing diff......... so i jus kept shuffling the stuff around and finally i liked this. 

Close up quilled flowers

The background paper is a beautiful golden one with stitching & sequins... its a local buy. I hav used Vintage photo, Mustard seed and peeled paint DI for the sentiment Sheet. The red fringed flower is actually a scrap... it was a defect piece... its actually a double fringed flower done the wrong way.... but i decided to save it and here it goes

Another close up

Jus loved the key embellishment & the bird cage, The bird is heat embossed in white sparkling powder. 

Hope u liked it.... and am also hoping to improve in random placement, love it. Thanks for dropping by.
